Human eyes take about 25 minutes to adjust from brightness to dark. Horses' eyes take almost twice that long at around 45 minutes to adjust. Show them some grace when they get scared or hesitant about going into a dark trailer or dark barn.
🌟Making sure your interior trailer lights are operational when loading in the dark. Horses that load easily during the day can get panicked when loading at night and injure themselves. Training sessions at night using the interior lights of your trailer can help them understand. Emergencies that happen at night may require you hauling your horse.
🌟Keep barn alley ways cleared of hazards. Kids bikes, toys, wheelbarrows, buckets, rakes and forks, shaving bags and hay bales, open stall doors, saddle racks can all pose a hazard to your horse.
