I have just moved my two horses onto the winter field, but in a bid to restrict their intake and that the field has to last all winter, have sectioned them off into a plot of about 1.5 acres with plenty of grass.
One of them is a pig with fencing, and keeps getting out. I have 3 strands of electrified 40mm tape fencing at 1.5m high at the tallest point, and lowest about 2ft from the ground. Its run off a 12v battery with energiser.
Clearly it isnt enough, and I am sick of retrieving this greedy horse from the wrong side of the fence.
Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom for a serial escape artist, or can advise on whether I can use a higher voltage battery to give the little sod a stronger thwack?
In terms of getting out - it varies, he either just runs through it, or commando crawls underneath.
