Since our move from livery to our own field a couple of weeks ago I am trying to manage the grass by strip grazing.

Chad and Ellie on the other hand have different ideas and yesterday Chad pushed through the electric fencing as he obviously decided the grass was indeed greener on the other side

The fencing isn’t connected to anything at the moment and I have had to give in and let them have the full paddock until I connect it. Being a complete novice with electric fencing how do I go about this? It will have to run off a battery, so can I just get a large amp battery and connectors and stick that on or do I need a transformer of some kind? I can get a battery no problems as I work for a company that sell them, but what else do I need to get the fence live?
 
You need an energiser (about £60) and a car battery.

The fence goes to the end post (in a loop of two strands)

then a wire comes from the energiser and connects to the end post wire, then the connectors from the energiser go to the battery.
 
you will probably need an energiser of some kind - this comes with all the connectors to get the fence live. I have never connected an eletric fence without one. How long is your fencing (approx)?
