Re: [RC] horse fencing help-a jumper? - Bette LamoreI put my foals in 3 string hot wire and they went right through it--- seems that their hooves are so small that they do not get enough of a ground to shock them. My lesson! Of course, once the hot wire was broken, all the mares went through it as well. Mark got tired of restringing every morning until we figured out the grounding problem-- so it was back to the pipe corral for the babes and mammas!Bette Lamore Whispering Oaks Arabians Home of Bunny and 16.2h TLA Halynov who lives on through his legacy Hal's Riverdance! http://www.arabiansporthorse.com Always remember: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." (George Carlin) Mary Ann Spencer wrote: Some horses need a continuous hot fence as they learn that the zap only happens when it clicks. No click, no zap. Goats are infamous for this. May also have to set her up by placing her close to the fence and easing her into the fence to see if she even respects the fence. Had a mule filly that would take a running start and just go right thru it. mas =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
