Re: [RC] [RC] Electric fence/pasture - terry banister

And their charger is different from other because it only has electricity when something touches it, so it conserves energy.
They also advocate the brown tape as being more visible to the horse than white. White is just more visible to people.

>They sell in 3 colors. I have used the brown. My horses respect and see it just like their web information says. The tape, and connectors are of very high quality. (It is made in France. Given my feelings about France and things French, I looked at their stuff hard before sending in my first order.) The quality and ease of use are much better than the stuff sold at most farm stores. I have tried that also to save money, the quality just is not there.
