Love the high tensile. I use the horsecote (12.5 gage wire) "NON- Electric" from kencove fence company. Electric Fence, High Tensile Fencing Supplies, Gates, Grazing, Cattle, Horse, Goat, Deer, Poultry, Garden It is the best I have found with a 30yr warranty on the black stuff. White wire has a 20yr warranty due to the UV breaks down the white much quicker. I also got the wire that was molecularly bonded which adds to the life of the wire.
Horsecote Wire 12.5 Gauge
I could still run a few strands of electric if I wanted.
I use 4 strands of wire. with the bottom wire being 18 inches from the ground and the rest being 12 inches apart. I use it to house young foals as well as adult horses with no issues. If they run into it they bounce right off. Each wire can handle about 250 pounds of pressure from a running horse.
All of my horses are less than 1000lbs. My 4yr old appy ran into it full force. no injury to him or fence. He just got what amounted to slightly less than a rug burn on his side from the wire. His hair grew back in a few months. He hasn't done it since.
The one thing that I do love about it (added bonus) that it is not always easy to do with other types of fencing. If you have an emergency, and you need to get into or out of the feild quickly, you can just slip through the wires. saves time from having to go all the way down to a gate to enter or exit. The wires are mounted on heavy duty tension springs, so they give a little to help absorb impact.
We Absolutely LOVE it.
LESS TIME FIXING FENCES......MORE TIME RIDING PONIES!!!
We also will be installing ritchie automatic waterers for this same reason.
