Great photos of what a lightning strike will do to your electric fence... This is a easy way to protect your fence charger and electric fencing system.
For anyone wondering if that extra few dollars for a lightning diverter is a worthwhile investment.... Saved a $700 fencer and most likely prevented a shed fire...
 Electric fencing for horse control is ideal for grazing and pasture management and offers many advantages when compared to a conventional non-electrified fence. Electric horse fencing is economical, reducing cost by as much as 50% less than traditional non-electrified fences. An electric horse fence also takes less than half the time to build compared to traditional fence systems, saving you time and money. In addition to the cost savings, electric fencing for horses act as a psychological barrier and many times are safer than a traditional non-electrified fence. Horses remember the short, sharp, but safe shock and develop respect for the fence. This also has the advantage of increasing the longevity of your fencing system as horses will be less likely to make contact with your fence causing wear and tear.

Getting started
There are two types of electric fencing for horses; permanent and temporary. Either of these options may be powered with four energizer options: 110v plug-in, battery, battery/solar or solar energizers. A permanent electric horse fence system is suited for long-term horse control and is the most effective way to control horses while maximizing pasture efficiency. It is important to make sure your electric fence system is constructed properly. The effectiveness of your electric horse fence depends on the correct combination of these four factors for your particular situation: 1. The energizer you select 2. A ground system 3. Well insulated fence system 4. An adequate lead-out (connection between the energizer and the fence) Temporary electric horse fencing provides flexibility in pasture management and is ideal for short-term horse control or rotational horse grazing. Horse Fence with Hot Offset Easily transported, constructed and maintained, temporary horse fencing is an effective portable fencing solution, which can be powered by 110v plug-in, battery, solar/battery or a solar energizer. The main uses of temporary electric fencing are: Grazing pasture and crops Short term horse control Intensive grazing Impromptu, portable fencing – corrals when travelling / protection of hay bales, silage and restriction of water ways Portable electric fencing has many benefits: Fast and easy installation Re-usable / portable Cost effective Convenient to transport / carry Electric Fencing Materials Designed for Horses Permanent Equine Fence Gallagher produces some of the most effective fencing products for horses, such Equine Fence.
