Floodlit schools/facilities for riding in the dark...

[Sarah1]

...how many of you have facilities to ride in the dark evenings & how many have to make do with only riding at weekends during the winter?

We have a small outdoorschool that is flood lit....but not very well lit though, better than nothing but its not ideal neither

We are lucky to have a very well floodlit school with no charge for electricity.

We have an outdoor school, the floodlights are coming in 2 weeks

i have a floodlit school and a walker which has lights around so is dead handy for when i get back from school and is already dark i can put them all on there and then i ride them off the walker so i dont have to spend as much time warming up

I have a flood lit 20 x 40 all weather

Thank God - with two to keep going it makes my life alot easier!

I really, REALLY miss being at a yard with a floodlit school. Heck, just a school would do me for the while! Luckily (or not?) I work odd days and when I can't ride my mum will take Maiden for a walk. I can't really ride her in a school anyway as it would be too much strain on her bad tendon so she has to hack. I'd be worse off really if I had a horse I could school!

Hi,

We have a big school that is going to be floodlit soon, but we also have a lit covered horsewalker and an indoor school.

I have a school at home & light it with a portable floodlight & long extension lead as couldn't get planning for lighting.

But now it's irrelevant cos I work from home, so as of today I go out at lunchtime!!

 

[JessPickle]

I have a floodlit indoor school

Thankfully have a floodlit indoor and floodlit menage or it would end up being weekends only for us.

I have nothing! Just a sloping, and very muddy in winter field! Horse gets ridden at weekends, or gets his tea late and I hack up the road to a school - which really isn't ideal.....

We have one floodlight on our school, it’s not great but ok. Saying that I ride in the day so don’t think I used it once last year.

No school at all, and the only electric we have is via a noisy generator, which actually broke tonight, so I mucked out and got the horses in with just a torch.
If I want to ride weekdays in winter, I have to do it on my lunch hour (horse is next door) so it's mostly weekend hacking for us. But it's not like I compete or anything, so it doesn't matter to me
