Re: [RC] question on electric portable corrals and blanketed horses? - Barbara McCrary
Boy, do we agree with this! We also have 12'
livestock panels, originally painted steel, but we had them galvanized.
Heavy rascals...takes two of us to take them down, and put them back again, but
using the side of our 20' gooseneck trailer, four panels make a 12 X 24 foot
corral, fit for two horses. One experience was enough to make us
believers; that was the time we were camped in Panamint Springs, all other folks
had left, and we settled in to stay the night. Wild burros came up off the
desert to clean up the remaining hay. We had our horses literally bouncing
off the wall of our trailer in fear. We finally had to pack up and drive
50 miles away where we spent the rest of the night...what there was of
it.

FWIW, some of these new panel systems are so flimsy that one is beginning
to see the same problems. We actually use 12' livestock panels--they are
heavy and a bugger to put up and take down, but they are worth every ounce of
the effort for the safety of my horses (not only from getting out but from
having other horses get in) and for my peace of mind. I've only seen a
few brands of panels on the market that come close.
