Optimal lighting for horse and rider

The days are getting shorter, and faster than expected, it can get darker during your ride. Due to work, school, or other commitments, it is often unavoidable to exercise your horse at dusk or even completely without daylight during the autumn and winter months. To ride safely in the dark, it is important to equip both yourself and your horse with reflective or bright gear. If your dog accompanies you, they should also be clearly visible. In this article, we explain which products provide sufficient safety and what you should consider when riding in the dark.

Make yourself visible, because especially in the dark season it’s TIME TO SHINE.
