Hmmmm I'm supprised you don't have more problems then you They are the worst - trouble is they've got such thick manes that they can push underneath and it doesn't shock them.

What sort of horse?

Yes - dangling off them makes it a lot more visible, but best to use non-conductive ribbon, else any dodgy connection will short a lot quicker. I think the worst problem with leccy fences is when something breaks. Had one this week - our biggest field, on a huge hill. Walking all around it, testing it. Found the break, then had to trudge all the way back down to turn off the fence, all the way back up. Fix it, down again turn on. Carry on testing, find another break... A job for two people, that.
