Horse rolling too close to fence

[jane_dixie]

Hello,

Was just wondering if anyone has the same problem as us - we have a five year old mare who seems to have a habit of rolling very close to the fence, and has got herself caught up in it a few times (despite the electric being on). Last week she rolled through the electric and managed to cut her leg on the fencing outside of the electric tape which I thought may have scared her but it hasn't - she still rolls soo close to it often catching herself.

Really can't think of how to solve this - does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!

Does she tend to roll in the same spots every time, maybe certain spots where it's especially muddy and already 'flattened' out by frequent rolling in those specific areas in the past?

Can you lay out some poles / logs / anything to discourage her from rolling so close?
