Re: Electrical Fences

[LazyJArabs@aol.com]

the number one thing i have seen at rides is horses leaving electric corrals
in a hurry with the hot wire/tape tangled in their blanket. okay, is it just
not very clear to people that the horse is not going to feel the zap through
the blanket? the main reason the horse stays in at home (as far as i can tell)
is because they don't have a blanket on. go to a ride, put a blanket on, the
horse can't feel the pulse and thinks that the fence is off. then, they get
pushy with it and end up getting a hot wire/tape under the blanket and
consequently cannot get away from it.

common sense? i hope people using electric systems realize this BEFORE their
horse gets loose at a ride.

just some things i have noticed.
