Don't turn your flash light on! I did that on my first 100. I behind Darolyn Butler and both our horses spooked! It's kind of funny now...to me anyway. Darolyn was very kind about it. She patiently explained how horses see very well in the dark and the light doesn't help them one little bit. I enjoy riding in the dark...well...except when I was along that last 12 miles of my first 100 (a million years ago now). I kept seeing bad men coming after me and both my horse and I were too tired to out run them. Thankfully, there were no bad people at all. ===== Susan Young Casey, Princess of Pink, LIW, RRHA, RHS Semper Obliquo (Always aside) Glenndale Grace Farm, Ft Gibson, Oklahoma U.S.A. "Ride on!
