Allan,

I don't really like the idea of a hot wire, but we have a mare that does not respect anything else. She seems to know when the line is hot and when it isnt. I suspect that she can feel a slight charge in her wiskers when she gets close to it.

Another problem is that this particular mare has begun cribbing and I'm hoping that the hot wire along the top will keep her away from the board.

The fence chargers I use are not especially hot, but they do hurt if you make direct contact with the wire.

I worry that the horse may become entangled in the wire and get stuck while it continues to shock. This has happened to this mare once before when we were using the electric poly-tape fencing.

I could put the charger on a timer and run it only during the day when I can keep track of her.

Any other suggestions?
John
