How to Protect Your Livestock: Electric Tape Horse Fencing
A rustic, split rail fence or an elegant, vinyl picket fence all add charm and beauty to any countryside. But they will do little to keep your livestock contained.
If you own a pasture or so of horses, consider investing in electric tape horse fencing.
This safe, cost-effective, easy to install electric tape is a convenient option for ranchers. In the 1980’s, the electric tape was invented and it revolutionized the fencing industry. It encouraged horses to keep within the boundaries of property in a much more humane way in thee past. Unlike old-fashioned “hot wires,” horses can actually see an electric tape system and thus actively avoid it.
Fence chargers power the electric tape system and when a horse first investigates the strange fence, it will feel a powerful, but ultimately innocuous electric shock throughout its body. This will in effect, deter it from ever checking out the fence again and it will remain safe from danger on your property.
Electric Tape Horse FencingElectric tape horse fencing is a physical, visual, and mental barrier in one. This is why it is so effective at containing livestock. And not only will electric fencing guard your horses, but it can endure the harshest of weather!
A white picket fence might be pretty and it certainly is a wonderful addition to any pasture, but you must reinforce it with an electric tape system to secure the safety of your livestock.
You can easily order an electric tape system from a farm supply store and installation is not overly difficult, as your new fence will come equipped with instructions.

Would it be okay to just use mechanics wire for a mini horse fence? Horse is 36" to highest point on back. Or even just run electric fence wire? Or would he go threw these? I thought maybe he would respect them since hes been in electric fences before. Or how would you go about hooking a car battery to the wire? Would the start end go on positive then the end go on negative? All your answers so far suck! I dont want told to turn on an electric fence or to get one! I know there are other things
