70 HORSE FENCES
www.premier1supplies.com • 1-800-282-6631Adding energized strands to any
fence helps to protect horses from
a fence—and the fence from the
horse (they can’t chew it).
Place the electrified strand at the
height of your horse’s nose when
it walks.
The distance a strand should be
held away (offset) from a fence
varies. For vinyl or wood fences 2"
is enough. However, because the
risk of injury is greater, we think
the maximum (7"–9") is best for
HT wire fences.
Uses
•
Prevents horses fighting
across
paddock fences.
• Keeps horses
from leaning,
rubbing or chewing
on fences.
• Enables
worn and weary
fences to last
a few more years.
• Gives longevity to new fences.
• Keeps horses
away from less-
safe fences (HT, barbed wire).
• To
carry pulses
from an
energizer in the barn
to
outlying fences.
Cost: as low as 9¢ per ft
The cost of a Guard Strand is
only the cost of the conductor,
insulators and energizer.
Which conductor? IntelliRope
®
PE 4.5 works well and is less $$.
Which insulator? Depends
on the existing fence. Review
our insulators
(pp. 134–139)
and
choose those that match your line,
end and corner posts.
A single strand of electrified rope keeps horses from leaning on, reaching over, rubbing or chewing valuable fences. Note
its location behind the upper wood horizontal—aesthetically out of sight to people outside of the fence. If needed, add a
second (lower) conductor to deter foals, ponies and mini horses.
