Currently have horse living out 24/7 in a huge paddock which has stock fencing (YUK!) and at one end of the field are two horses (in seperate paddocks) and he is out on his own.
There is fake electric fencing up inside the stock fencing near to the two horses that he can see. Obviously he is wise to the fact it's not on and is having a whale of a time trashing it to reach his fenced off buddies and it seems I am going to have to invest in something to put a stop to this before he damages himself.
Property owner told me when I looked around before moving there that there was electric fencing, turns out only a few of the paddocks actually have it switched on! Arghhhh...
I have no idea how to go about setting up electric fencing. Any tips on what batteries to get and tape? I'm on a budget and it has to stand alone as am sure property owner won't let me run anything off of his mains. In fact, I've been told by other liveries that it's a DIY job and to not even ask.
Field is quite open and blowy so any tips on tape or kinds of poles that are best?
Everyday I go to stables to feed etc he has snapped the tape and broken another post.
TIA!!
