I think the biggest mistake people make (next to not grounding the power 
source?) is that they make the pens too big.  That's the advantage of 
electric, right?--you can make 'em as big as you have room for.  The 
trouble is that this allows an excited horse to get 'too much speed 
up'--too much momentum if you will--and that's when they jump or go 
through.  If they only have a stride or two, they rarely break out.

The other thing, as Truman would say if he was talking this week, is to 
protect your pens on three sides, if possible, so that loose running horses 
don't see a way through your camp.  I unhitch my truck and park it at right 
angles to the trailer/pen--and if I can have a fenceline, barn, or stand of 
trees behind me I will.
