Put her pretty little nose RIGHT ON THE WIRE, about 10 feet from the charger. And Never. Challenged. The. Fence. Again. I literally kept her in a maskingtape and baling twine fence one night (long story).<br /><br />My current mare, however, keeps track of the fence and the level of charge. If the fence isn't "hot enough" she walks through it. Sigh. We put up field fencing on the perimeter (in addition to the hot wire) and test the interior hot tape frequently...although I'm not sure why I bother testing. Fiddle will show me the MINUTE the charge fails. <br /><br />Bigger sigh....AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569818745110332355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-22404090932102524012010-09-11T21:57:15.710-04:002010-09-11T21:57:15.710-04:00Is it just me, or do you get a slight satisfaction...Is it just me, or do you get a slight satisfaction from watching them shock themselves on the wire that first time? *evil grin*<br /><br />My mare used to crawl under my fence, just tolerating the little shock she got during the process because it was worth being able to roam around the yard at will.<br /><br />Then, I bought a new fencer... turned it on, put her out in the pasture, and sat back to watch.<br /><br />The look on their face is priceless. Respect my fence, mare!! :)in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.com
