Hi thought I'd ask this question as I normally hack out first thing in the morning (7ish) but thinking about going in the evenings but not sure what time as dont want it still to be too warm or starts getting dark
Many thanks
 
Mornings at the weekend by about 7.30/8.00am. Weekdays from around 9.30am onwards to allow work traffic to vanish. Afternoons around 5.00pm ish.
 
My yard is on a busy-ish road so I avoid rush hour times, meaning that I'm often out before 8am during the week and slightly later at weekends. I sometimes go out in the evenings too depending on what I have on that day (work f/t but varying hours and often from home). Often in the evenings I am on my own and it is a shorter hack on a familiar route when I'm as sure as I can be that nothing untoward is going to happen; this takes 45 mins and I'm always back before it starts to get dark. Evening hacks are lovely and the best way to relax but the last thing I'd want is an accident and a runaway horse as it's getting dark and so I try to prevent this at all costs! I also like someone to be on the yard when I'm out in case something happens.
