We used to go there to camp along the ocean when we were kids. Your no climb fence perimeter sounds good. We use an electric fence product made by Dare, and it works well. I've seen electrobraid, and it looks like it's more substantial than ours. Sounds like a good plan, makes shifting fence lines easier also.

Experience w/ Electro-Braid
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have finally decided that I need a full perimeter fence to keep loose horses from running onto the highway. Also to keep strangers from wandering up to the horses' pens and putting their hands/food inside. I figure, if I'm going to have a stallion around, I better do some more safety planning - especially in lawsuit happy California. Am leaning toward Electro-braid on the perimeters that do not front directly on the highway. Four strands, with posts up to 50 feet apart. Part of the reason is so that I don't have MORE fence that I can't easily clip underneath it. With this I can turn the fence off and run a sickle bar mower underneath it, if necessary. Also possible to take it down, if need be for various ag operations. So... does anyone have any insight or cautions with it? The horses may be turned loose inside the fence occasionally - but mostly it is just a safety consideration - and to keep intruders out. The horses inside wil be inside pipe panel fencing. Along the highway I'm going to use Red Brand No Climb - 6 feet high with a board on top. Took Gunthar out yesterday to pony him - try to get back in shape. First time we tried it. He was a perfect gentleman. I think he has found his career as a pack horse. He has always disliked the "riding part." Sort of looks at you like, "What ARE you doing up there?" - but he seemed to have a wonderful time being ponied. In the meantime, my supposedy "dead broke" QH was freaking out with the ocean breezes at Bodega. Great place to ride though - all sand dunes and soft landings.
