RE: [RC] question on electric portable corrals and blanketed horses? - Rae Callaway

Depends on the horse.  My mare, Scarlet, will respect the wire no matter
what.  I've used the tiny string sized wire back when she was hyper nuts and
she still respected it.  Her son, Chief, is another story.  He tests the
wire and if he doesn't feel it, he'll go under it.  With a blanket, he's not
going to feel it at all and will spend all his time leaning on it to eat the
grass on the other side until the wire finally falls down.

Subject: [RC] question on electric portable corrals and blanketed horses?

i was recently filling out a registration form for a ride held in
november and i noticed that it warns that b/c horses are likely to be
blanketed at that time, portable electric corrals may not keep them
in.  is that really a problem? i don't think i could order any other
kind of a portable corral and have it shipped in time for the ride.
and besides, i don't like making these types of purchases under
pressure, especially considering the amount of $ involved.
what has your experience been in using the electric corrals with
blanketed horses?
