These days, twilight is around 19:00 and I like to set everything up for the night before total darkness descends.

I recently bought four rechargeable lights that are magnetic, and so ideal for sticking on the container.  I thought they could show the ponies where the containers were.

But they are quite bright and now I wonder if they are too bright.  Each container has a step up as they are on blocks on the hard-standing and I want the lights to show the ponies where to step up if they want to go inside.

I would hate them to bash their knees trying in the pitch dark.  It would put them off and that would defeat the object.

But not all light is good light and I am busily asking questions about horses, lighting and finding out how they need the darkness for their circadian rhythms at night.  Apparently red lights are considered perfect for night-time.  So now we are experimenting…… 

Anywho, later on I went outside to double check everyone was ok and nearly tripped up over a small capybara who was being particularly unhelpful.
