Re: [RC] Barb wire fence question - Sisu West Ranch
"...Add a hot wire? A separate fence several feet
away? Something else?..."
Our place came equipted with a
barb wire fence. Mostly old and already partly pushed down.
We have been adding a single
strand of horseguard tape (www.horseguard.com), on their standoff
insulators. This effectively puts a visible, attractive, tape 1 foot
inside of the barb wire. Seems to work for us. Last year one of the
mares got cut when tangeling with a high tensile wire while backing up to the
neighbor's stallion pen. I have added two strands of tape on standoffs at
the pens. Should keep the hussey's away from that
fence.
Please note horseguard is more
expensive, but much better than the wide tapes sold in the local feed and farm
stores.
