Re: [RC] [RC] Step-in posts - Laurie Durgin

Mine know when it is off too. My yungun (2) is most likely to duck it. But my mare knows when it is off or on. My farrier says they can hear it.(I can sometimes) andI have seen her test it. (cuz, the grass is on the other side!!!).

Don't go too long with out replacing those batteries. I have all electric fence around my pasture and my horses know what it is to be shocked too. But this past fall I had the charger turned off for quite awhile. One day I was bragging to my Mom about how the horses know what it feels like to be shocked and that I could leave the charger off a lot because they don't test it. The very next day I found my very bold and inquisitive gelding munching on grass on the yard side of the fence. He just ducked his head under the bottom strand of a two strand electric fence. Discovered it didn't shock, as it wasn't on and came right on through. The little bugger. :-) I turn it on more often now. Like every day! I actually set it on a timer along with the tank heater so it goes on and off at certain times. I just can't see having both drawing juice 24 hrs a day.

Also, too wet, sloppy, cold, and slick to ride, but starting to get the itch. Hummm, there IS the horse at Wal-Mart here too. Hummmmm!
