I think I'm correct that most experienced night time riders feel that
horses' night vision is way better than ours and good enough for them
to see where they are going even if we can't. Whatever glow sticks or
lamps they attach to their horses are not intended to improved their
horses' vision. The lights make the horse more visible to others (and
perhaps improve the rider's vision a tiny bit). I'd think a headlamp
on the headstall could really mess up the horse's night vision, to say
nothing of making the rider very motion sick and of annoying nearby
riders.
