Judi 7/19/20 I have half wooden fence and electric fence around areas we could not get a post into ground (ledge). One of my horses would chew fencing, so I put an electric string in front of wood fencing. No more chewing wood, and respectful of area of just the electric rope. It is powered with a solar box so the current of electricity is low but sends a click sound into rope. I like it as it doesn’t really zap you just startles you if touched.
My Senior Thoroughbred gelding is totally respectful of any sort of wire, tape or rope fence-line, charged or not. My Mule “George” will stay behind one for awhile, but eventually he will test it, and if it’s not charged, he will duck under to access the Greener Grass, and to torment the neighbors animals. I wouldn’t want to try it as long-term confinement; I think that eventually he would find a way thru, charged or not, he’s just That Kind of Guy 🙂
After a few years we don’t even turn it on. When the horses were younger and new to the farm they would challenge it but they learn. I had just one pony who with a little bit of teeth gritting could slide under and over it and she would occasionally test it even after 2 years.
