Apologies for the mention of the dreaded 'W' word ? Working from home now means that I routinely hack before work in the week which I love but I think in deepest, darkest winter I'll need to leave in the dark to keep it up. I'm loathe to have return to the routine of winter schooling sessions to keep fit so been considering having in the dark.
Does anyone hack in the dark? Or is it completely stupid idea?!
We will either be hacking onsite on the farm or we go straight from our driveway onto off road riding so no roadwork involved.
I'm assuming lights are key to this? And possibly a reflective standard or coat rather than my standard array of high viz coats, gilets and tabards?
I'm thinking I'll probably need a hat light but is one enough? What would be best to attach to pony? I want him lit up too, just in case.
I'm also considering some kind of lights for my stirrups for extra visibility on dull, daylight days (some of our longer rides involve short stretches of road to get further afield). Is there any lights that would attach to my stirrups?
