Due to unfortunate circumstances it looks like I will need to move in with my mum for a couple months. She has a small paddock and I was thinking about keeping my gelding in it while I'm staying.
She normally borrows some sheep from her neighbour to keep the grass under control but at the moment it's not being grazed. The fencing is fine for sheep but I'm not sure how much I can trust it to keep a horse in and one side of the paddock is a treeline/bank with low barbed wire along it which I worry he could get caught in. So I'm thinking about setting up an electric fence to reinforce the current fencing and keep him away from the barbed wire on the bank. I've seen kits for sale that include 'everything you need' for about £150. Has anyone used these before?
