Re: [RC] Pros and Cons of confinement systems - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Burgess" <carolyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I have the Farnam portable metal corral. It makes a 12 x 12 corral, is lightweight and very sturdy..... > At another ride I witnessed two horses escape from their metal corrals, but the effort it took was amazing. They repeated slammed into the panels until they finally pulled them apart. *A thought when introducing the horse to a portable pipe corral is to initially run a line of hot wire along the inside (this can be done by putting plastic step in posts against the metal sides (duct taping)...and running the hot wire. Will teach the horse some respect for fencing...and that leaning or pushing on fencing is not a good idea. I have done this with my young mare a couple of times to keep her off my fence!
