>How does the horse feel about this? Does the bouncing
light bother them? How did you train them to get used to the light? I also
wonder, is the light more for you or the horse? Don't horses have superior night
vision, it's us who can't see worth a flip?
You're "right on" here,
Alice. Unless the rider has REALLY good control of the head lamp, it is a
distraction to the horse. Far better to use glow sticks--attached to
breast collar for those who use them, and strung from a thong or twine around
his neck just forward of the saddle, for those of us who don't. And if you
start night-riding primarily on nights with moonlight, you'd be amazed how well
even the RIDER can adapt.
