Another thread reminded me of something I had meant to ask for a while now.
Every fall (when it’s cold and wet), we do the Colorama ride, the biggest organized trail ride in the Midwest. A short section of this trail (maybe 1/2 mile) travels along a power line. The last couple of years, you could really hear the electrical current buzzing and humming through the lines. It’s really loud, and is enough to make my horse on edge. Probably because I’m on edge, thinking that electricity is going to zap us into oblivion. :rolleyes:
We ride along power lines ocassionally, and I have never heard them humming and buzzing like they do on that one section of that one trail. You can hear zaps and cracks too.
It “must” be safe, or they wouldn’t be sending over 3,000 horses down that trail, um right? :uhoh:
Anyone want to put my mind at ease about this situation?
