Tape gates provide the most visible gate solution. Choose spring or bungy gates where the gate needs to be stretched across a lane to divert animals into the paddock.

We build our electric fence insulators from the highest quality raw material to last a lifetime. The porcelain insulators are fire-resistant and ideal for high fire-risk areas. The plastic insulators are made from UV stabilised polymers for sun resistance, toughness and durability. All Gallagher insulators feature long leakage paths and protective shields to achieve optimum performance from today’s high power energizers (except

BUY HERE! Electric Horse Tape is generally used where visibility is important. With our Turbo Plus range we’ve drawn on our knowledge of animal psychology by replicating nature’s warning sign: Stripes. Proven to be more effective in deterring stock. Note: Tape is not recommended in areas exposed to very strong wind.
Polywire/Turbo Wire is preferable where wind or adverse weather conditions would “work” a tape to deterioration and enables maximum length of fence to be carried on a reel.
Braid is a woven product designed not to “tangle” or overstretch. It is not available in all countries.

BUY HERE! Lightning will damage your electric fence energizer if it strikes your power fence. Gallagher energizers have internal lightning diverters that give partial protection against small strikes. Installing an Adjustable Lightning Diverter (G6480) will give added protection by providing a path for the lightning that strikes the fence to be diverted to ground. Otherwise disconnect the energizer from the fence and power supply during lightning storms.
Lightning always finds the easiest way to earth. In areas where lightning is a problem installing an earth system to include a lightning diverter earth is essential.

Electric Fence Info. Stock will respect all fences if most of your farm fences are electrified. This means internal subdividing fences can then have fewer wires so you can build more fencing at a lower cost per metre (yard). Power electric fencing also makes fencing dams, rivers, trees and erosion prone areas easier.

It appears the horses have finally discovered the electric fence has no zap. For the last week while the horses are in eating their breakfast, I have been out in the field untangling, and restringing the electric fence. The charger has not been working well for a while, but it finally died a week or so ago. I only noticed after the horses noticed.
We've had a new charger for a week. Installing it has been on the "to do list" since then. Finding time to do things on the "to do list" though has been a problem. We're hoping tomorrow's going to be the day. Now that the horses know the fence doesn't bite anymore, everyday it takes me longer to put it all back up. Soon they will be pushing the poles over and breaking the electric tape itself. We need to get the fence powered back up.
It always amazes me that those 3 strands of tape keep the horses on their side of the fence. I realize now that the tape is nothing without the electric. It's that surprise of the zap that scares them away. It usually only takes once to make them wary, twice zapped and they stay away.
If you have ever been tempted to touch an electric fence now would be the time to do it. Tomorrow when the sun shines on the new solar fence charger you might just get a jolt full of volts. I bet you won't touch it a second time. Only kidding, this is not an invitation to touch the electric fence! Promise me you'll give it a wide berth when you Come Ride With Us!
