Re: [RC] Can a horse wearing Easyboots get shocked by electric fence? - Stacy Sadar
From my own experience...
I was trying to re-string the electric wire and couldn't seem to get it to work. I'm holding the fence and hear it ticking and nothing. My husband grabs the fence and gets shocked. I'm standing there holding it in my hand and nothing. He looks down at my feet, pushes me over, pulls my tennis shoes off and slams my hand on the fence...then I got shocked! And boy did it hurt.
So, I would think it may or may not shock them depending on barefoot with boots or shoes with boots. My shoes prevented me from getting shocked, but my husbands with the rubber sole and steel shank allowed him to get shocked.

Can a horse wearing 4 Easyboots get shocked by an electric fence?
Or would the boots prevent the horse from completing the circuit?
Note, I'm talking about a live-wire-only fence. Not the kind using alternate live and ground wires.
Comments from anyone who has done a field test on this would be most welcome.
