[RC] Removing Old barbwire , suggestions - L gin

Well closed on our new land and constrution loan. and to make this endurance related. We bought it from Danny Herlong an endurance rider, we are to be neighbors, and it is on the foot of the Chattahoochess National Forest! Old trail leands up to the ridge where the trail is!
But will be about 5-6 months before we move-building).
New here is the situation. Our 11 acres have a fence. Some of it on one side is like 5 strands of rusted barbwire (some may even be doubled up--like a mass of fence) Then there is high tensile on another side.
My horses have been in woven wire with electric. --One was raised here--- I am terrified of the barb wire and half terrified of the high tensile.
Any tips on removing the stuff? One side has a some mobile homes and even some horses in one section.
I thought about just fencing inside of it a couple feet---but then thought about liability --as the homes are like 30 feet from it. This is a rurual county with no building codes except septic.
Thought about asking around or putting up ad for someone to remove it , but then thought liability would be real risky....
So looks like it will be this 50 yr old and maybe sons taking down some at a time....(MAYBE I can get husband to help..... but he works out of town alot.......
Any suggested tools? All I can think is gloves, heavy clothes,and cut short sections at a time and maybe roll it up and tie it.
