For years I have been out to do horses, ponies and sheep at night without even thinking about the dark now suddenly I don't like the dark and keep imagining there is someone out there hiding. How stupid is this! Or is it? Perhaps it's my age or perhaps it's the society we live in now but certainly I don't feel nearly as safe as I used to even two years ago. Do other horse owners feel nervous on their own doing night stables? Does a dog for company help? Or am I just out of practise? I get REALLY annoyed with myself but I don't seem able to cure that knot in my stomach when I go outside once darkness has fallen. Any tips for a nervous old lady very welcome!
