We just got another one in, think there is 14 now. We use steel wire and have a few Zareba solar powered fence chargers at the place. I liked the old weed burner ones we used to have when I was a kid, nothing like a hot fence that will throw you if you cross the strands, don't ask how I know LOL !

I think it is important to strategically locate the wire strands, you need good splices, less or none is better, a good ground, copper clad rod into soil that has enough moisture.

The nylon tape with the strands in it, we have used that off a regular charger, but I am not all that confident as to how hot you can make those, they seemed marginal to me, but I really don't know much about them. They seemed to be hot enough sometimes but I think there were splices and damaged areas of it, brush against it, been awhile since we've had any of that powered up.

We have mostly wood post and rail fences, though 2 of our smaller pastures are fenced like that, we ran 2 strands of the steel galv. wire, and employed 1 zareba unit to power both, they are hot enough to keep em off the fences, though most of these horses are seemingly well mannered, nothing like a little education from that fence if they go near it. I'd not trust any stallion when mares are in heat, these guys jump for a living so we try and coordinate turnouts carefully.

I dunno, I'd want some wire strand located where she will learn from it, darned horses always seem to find a way though don't they ? We got a new prospect in from another farm, first thing this gelding did was walk across the ice, and jumps 2 fences in one leap, 1 was electrified, I guess he wanted to introduce himself to the well mannered stallion we have, I was working on the roof framing of a barn that partially collapsed last spring from snow and saw him do it, well he's got good instinct and the stallion seemed to give him his approval, was so hard to believe that whole situation did not turn into something worse, as more times than not they find trouble.
