| Electric fencing is considered by many to be one of the best ways to keep your horses safe when they are outside in pasture. A constant charge of current running through the electric wire fencing, with the fence being grounded to avoid a large shock from occurring when the fence is touched, along with cut off switches to be able to disconnect power immediately if needed are the main components of electric fencing. In addition to the actual fence (fence posts and wires), electric fencing requires some type of charger, a source of power to provide electricity (traditional and solar types are available), insulated cable that runs from your power source to the charger, cut off switches to be able to disconnect power immediately if needed, and a grounding system. The fence wire itself is connected to the fence post by insulators. The thinness of the wire used with electric fencing for horses makes it difficult to see from a distance. Tying brightly coloured strips of coated tape, such as poly tape, works very well. Electric fencing requires daily checks to ensure that the electric current is running through the fencing at a consistent rate. Our catalog offers all the components to build an effective and safe electric fencing system for your horses.
