Can you talk aabout what riding in the dark is like? I'm doing my first LD 
next month and it will be in dark part of the time.
I did a training ride in the dark over the weekend and I have to say it feels 
completely different from in the light. I had to rely on my horse more...he 
seemed to have no problem, but my familiar trail look entirely different in 
the dark. I noticed my horse went smoother and faster down hills, probably 
because I wasn't seeing the terrain and underestimating his ability to 
negotiate it.
