Tonight was the first time I had to muck out in the dark. The yard owners have provided us with these amazing lights if we need a bit of extra light. Extra light?! Buddy’s stable was lit up like Colditz.

The only downside – you’ve heard of the phrase ‘moths to a flame’, well tonight it was ‘midges round a light’. Jeez they were everywhere!

Does anyone know what purpose midges serve?! Other than to make your skin crawl. I guess it’s an incentive to muck out faster.
