Using Electric Fencing for Horses
We want our equine friends to see the electric fence lines, don’t we? Therefore we have to do our best to make the lines as visible as possible, to prevent unwanted accidents. We suggest using white tape instead of coloured as horses find it hard to really distinguish between for example red and green, meaning with white this is a lot more visible for them.
