Re: [RC] Electric Fence Corrals - Elizabeth Chase

My Teke mare, Delphi, also jumped an electric fence about that high, but it was
to get OUT of the pasture. She was the new horse in that group and they kept
her running so over she went.  

The next pasture she was in had two strands of the tape stuff, the top one
being just over knee height on her (15 hands). It never seemed to be turned on
but neither she nor any of the other horses ever tried to escape. 

Go figure.

I recently had a young horse JUMP over an electric fence while at home. I had
put him in an area away from the others for specific reasons. Came back and
he was on the other side. The hot wire was set up so he couldn't go under it.
He obviously jumped it and it was over 4' high. Not a scratch on him. (Guess
a career in jumping might suit him better than endurance? ;-)
