Riding tonight

[BBs]

So how many of us will be riding tonight without the use of flood lights

I LOVE SPRING.

 

[Tempi]

i havent had to use floodlights for ages now! As i finish work at 4ish ive been able to dash to the yard and ride both mine before dark (6:30ish) for about a month now which has been lovely!

 

[dieseldog]

As I finish work at 3.30 - been doing it for quite a while

 

[Dogbetty141]

me i dont get down to the yard till half 5 ish so itl be great!

 

[HBII]

Nope but I shall be hacking out tomorrow night

Cant wait!

[Rambo]

Nope.....The horses are both having a couple of well deserved days off....but come wednesday i hope to be hacking one out each evening before schooling the other. It will make Trike a much happier horse for sure....he really doesn't 'get' 4 days a week schooling for 6 months

 

[PaddyMonty]

Our school doesn't have flood lights but as I leave work when I feel like it I haven't needed them all winter

 

[BBs]

Well for those who finish work early..........arent you LUCKY

I confess that i have been able to ride after work for a while, although havent felt happy hacking out as it isnt the lightest around 5:30! or i ride before work.

However, there are MANY who dont finish work and get to the yard until gone 6pm.

If i had floodlights or even an area I wouldn't be using the lights, I have a month off college so I can ride whenever now.

We have no arena and no lights so the clocks going forward are great. We have hacked out a few times after work over the last couple of weeks but its been a bit dodgy getting back through the country lanes. I will now have riding kit in the back of my car at all times to take advantage of the light and weather

Isn't it fab, I dont get to the yard until after 6 normally so really looking forward to a nice hack out with out the worry of it getting dark so early. Cant wait

 

[Alibear]

Exactly the same thought as you BB's, so now I can ride after work but first I need to get a horse!

 

[Sal_E]

Not riding tonight but tomorrow will be the first weekday without using the lights - YIPPEEEE!

Makes life SO much easier...

 

[TGM]

The big difference for me is that I can now hack out with daughter after school and know that we can be back before dusk

.

I'm riding tonight in the school, fingers crossed

can't wait to start hacking out again on an evening when the roads are quieter and I can get to the bridlepath and have a hooley up it.

 

[ColleenIsh]

Dont know if im riding tonight or not but doesnt make any difference ... but will be nice to actually go for a hack ... normally have to wait for hubbie to get in from work so he can look after the boys and that normally happens around 6pm . So would make a nice change .

 

[sammys ma]

It's great isn't it!!!

I never get to the yard before 6- 6.30, so it will make a REAL difference to me.
I really can't wait to go on hacks after work.............Bring it on!!!!

[_jetset_]

I know... I can't wait!

 

[Heidi1]

Me, so looking forward to it, also means that I don't have to just school in the week, I can actually hack out....... LOVE IT TOO.......

Well he jumped lol, however, was on the end of a lunge line but popped him over trotting poles and then steadily increased the height to around 2'6 i think it would be.

He did one at the end, saw his own stride and really stood off my face was a picture

one of those that had I been on board it wouldn't have been for very long, he really is quite scopey, shame its wasted on me.

Will do some more jumping with him at the weekend but for now he's back to flatwork.

2 weeks off seems to have suited him, he was very relaxed last night.
