Blooming horses

[Penny Less]

Two days running my lads have gone through the leccy fencing. Only white plastic posts and tape but cant keep them in! Dont know which one instigates the escape but the other follows. Broken posts yesterday and two horses looking at me "who me, wossnt me it was 'im"

I shall not deign to answer that, thats on a par with the OH asking "is there any petrol in it" when the car wont start.!

Not sure what you can do. My highland pulls the plastic posts out of the ground - when the tape is on).

I've given up and she has the run of her full paddock instead of sections.

my grandad had a couple of milkers who had no respect for leccy fencing. He solved it by threading copper wire into their eartags (I think) so when they tried the 'great escape' they were blasted and never tried it again. I may well be making this up as I was a child and steam trains still existed at the time! Good luck. M.
