Help mare field hopping!!

[wildcard]

so im hvaing an absolute nightmare at the moment my 5 year old seems to have started field hopping now she never goes anywhere just likes to get in and play with the others,

so heres the problem ive tried putting electic fencing on and she's sussed this out so just goes over the top, the fences where originally normal height so thought id add an extra row on and make it stallion fencing this is about 1.40m and she still goes over the top!! its driving me insane. when the electic isnt on she just goes through it and breaks the tape or fence post.

im sooooo fed up of fixing fencing and phone calls about my escape artist horse!! she does have a field mate who she gets on very well with so isnt like shes on her own.. and the field she's in has mountains of grass so not likes shes hungry is this just a phase she will grow out of!! please tell me it is!!

There's a girl on my yard with one of these and she got equally fed up, although hers was going for better grass. Is yours able to be brought in during the day and turned out at night? Not sure if it would work, but you'll get less phone calls.

she already comes in during the day when its really hot and goes out later on after been ridden is no real set time to when she does this... It is driving me mad im actually pulling my hair out about how to the crazy beast now!! Findus lasange is coming to mind at the moment!!

Increase the height up to at least 2m, if not higher.
Easily done by fixing electric fence posts to the existing main fence posts, via baler twine
Add at least 2 rows of tape, making sure top row is the wide tape

1 little 14.2 mare I had in back in the early 90's needed to be contained in my stallion paddock of about 3/4's an acre - as it was the only one then that had a full 8ft high fence right round it. That stopped her

Mine did this for a period of about 6 months and thankfully grew out of it....so there is hope!
I am still careful though and would never just have that low electric fencing because I'm sure she'd go through it or over it!

Make it higher.
