Factors Undermining Electric Fences For Horses

Horse fence can be one of the most useful feature of a horse facility. But all fences are not suitable for horses. Fencing is major investment that should be carefully planned before construction. So come to Diamond mesh store and invest your money on good fencing products. For more details Contact us!<br>http://www.diamondmesh.com.au/polycorral.html

  1. Factors Undermining Electric  Fences For Horses Electric  fences  are  the  best  flexible horse fencing  solutions for money value and ease of installation. We  live in a world in which technology changes drastically  to improve efficiency of various products. Problems that  face electric fencing can eliminated through technology.  The most prominent issues of electric fences are: 

  2. Inadequate horse training The best way to start  training  hoses  is  by  use  of  paddocks.  The  fence  needs  to  be  highly  visible  even  if  it  means  using  fence  flags. The horses need  to be trained so that  they stay safe.  small  Induction This is a common phenomenon with electric fences where by  electric  power  is  transferred  from  electrified  wire  to  no­ electrified object without a direct connection between the two.  The gate is not supposed to be electrified but induction causes  it to create shocks. This issue can be resolved through grounding  of gates and non­electrified wires. Moist conditions accelerate  this effect of induction hence the energizer must not be placed  anywhere near water lines. Huge power lines can also cause  induction to the nearby fences, so, the fence shouldn’t be built  near high voltage lines.

  3. Leakage of energy  Electric energy can get lost in small amounts from the electrified  wire to the ground due to several reasons: broken wires, excessive  vegetation, poor insulation, neutral wires interference, and debris.  Plantations growing along electric fences should be cleared and  fallen trees and debris must be removed. Insulators which are  prone to UV damage result in energy leaks. The best insulators to  buy are those that are UV­stabilized.  Poor grounding Grounding should not be overlooked a far as electric fencing is  concerned. 3 galvanized rods should be installed 5 inches into the  ground and 10 inches apart for small energizers. The rods should  be  connected  with  ground  rod  clamps  and  when  connecting,  metals must not be used.  Electric fences are good examples of portable horse fencing which  consists of a combination of wood posts, PVC and electric wires.  Depending on the type of terrain, installation becomes easy. This  electric fence system offers safe confinement of horses.
