This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, We also have electric fence. To solve the problem of the ponies pushing against the fence when its not on, I hide by the switch (in the garage) and keep watch (with the fence off). As soon as one touches the fence I flip the switch and ZAP! This keeps them off the fence when its off ;-) They can't rely on listening to the fence to find out if it "bites". My fence also packs a pretty good wallop and has a well-grounded extra strand.
I hope everyone has a wonderful happy and safe Christmas. Laura From Ottawa where its barely winter - just below 32f with some snow/slush on the ground.
