Plan your power supply, fence layout and visibility before choosing electric fencing for horses or livestock.
How electric fencing works
An energiser sends pulses along the fence wire. Contact with the wire completes a circuit through the animal and the ground. Electric fencing acts as a psychological barrier, making the fence layout and its visibility important considerations for horses.
What to plan
- Power supply: mains, battery or solar.
- The total length of fence wire.
- The style of fence and the animals you want to keep in or out.
- A map of the area, including gates and fence lines.
