temporary lighting solution for menage in winter?

[impresario08]

Our outdoor school is fab but doesn't have any lights. Fine at the minute, but in winter I really need to keep my boy in work due to rehab work. Has anyone come up with a temporary solution to provide enough light to ride in in the evening in winter?

if you look on Ebay there are battery powered outdoor lights which may well be powerful enough to school on the flat. You might be able to get rechargeable batteries for them.

Have a look at www. menagelights.com as they do temporary lighting.

I bought rechargable site lights from ebay and hung them from meat hooks around the arena. One charge lasted about 2 weeks with me riding three nights a week for about an hour.
Plenty of light for flat work but I wouldn't go so far as to jump.

Erm, it's manege (or manège) and the website is: http://www.manegelight.com.

Do you have electric at the yard? If you have you could do as I did a few years ago at a yard with no lights on the arena. I used an extension lead & a pair of double site lights on tri pod bases. I put one in one corner & the other in corner at opposite end. There was enough light to ride by & I'd put them away again at the end of the session.

I started with two portable LED tripod lights and then added a metal halogen security light up a tree.

LED s are the way forward!they are becoming more and more powerful. go talk to your local electrical wholesaler.

We have these (but don't use to light an arena just keep one in the car and use for all sorts of things, they do different wattages but this is the brightest, last for ages then when it dims take it home to recharge.
