Restricted grazing (ideas)

[Jesstiggs]

My boy is just starting his 2 months of box rest, he then has to have 6 weeks of restricted small paddock turn out...my boy doesnt know the meaning of this, as he just jumps out, i have tried, double electric fencing around the paddock, and this doesnt stop him, any ideas of what i can do to keep him in?

Is that double height electric fence or double fenced? I would do both.

Use wooden posts with 3 or 4 rows of tape, but have the top row too high to jump, around 5ft 6in.

I bit the bullet as mine needs restriction ongoing so got a paddock fenced with 4 foot of post and horsemesh (high tension small holed squares). Not cheap but the peace of mind is lovely, have been able to leave horse out 24x7 for first time ever despite her limbo-ing tendancies!

If it ever proved too low still, I would add off set electric onto the tops of the posts. But so far she looks like she is admitting defeat altho she is trying to eat the fence posts one by one....

The round pen panels look good if it is def temporary tho...

Yes that's double electric taped and fenced.. He still jumped out,

Thank you for all your suggestions, I do like the round pen idea, I will look into that
