What would happen at night if the horse can see the fence?
Unless being in a “hot situation” (panic), a horse is cautious about where it steps night and day. • It knows from when it was a baby that everything that touches its body can hurt • Its skin and the size of it, is a very vulnerable target for all outside aggressions. • This is why you seldom see them with scars …considering their life is spent in a pasture for more than 20 years. • Now knowing that somewhere in its surrounding there is this threat of painful zap it will pay attention • This also means that the fence tape has to be ON and powerful Night & Day • As far as the colors are concerned a horse sees very well at night but sees a scale of grey and unless there is a panic situation where it might run wild, the horse respects its boundaries and mainly the 1/12 fence tape that it can see and that is more painful than any other fence when it touches it….
