I use and have used this for 30 years for my sheep. Occasionally I have 
horses in it too, but I try not to. If a hoof went through the horse 
would continue to be shocked as it pulled up the whole fence, complete 
with 4" metal stakes. This kind of wire (plastic with small metal 
filaments) cuts like a surgical saw. I have lost lambs in this fence. 
They get a leg or neck through and become twisted and tangled in it very 
easily. It is important to keep it taut and highly electrified at all 
times. If I was pasturing a horse with it I would not want to make an 
area smaller that 4 rolls. 165' x 165'                            Libby
