Robin said:Glad someone went first, Okay I have quite a few you would think I would have learned.
Heres one. Last night I forgot to re-attach the gate handle and left it laying on the ground while I finished taking care of the horses. I go through a mental check list to make sure everything is closed and power is on. Well it was dark anD I remembered the damn gate. In the meantime the frickin grass was getting wet with dew. Ya go ahead an say dumb chit I reached down to grab the handle and hair is now all standing straight out on every parkt of the body, so I drop it then say it dumb chit grab it again by then I was shocked and pizzed There was more than 1 spark to.
I think everyone out there with electric fence has some real good stories, they just need to add to the humor with horsesmizteresa1965 said:dumb chit!!!

HorseRiding God said:The Almighty Zues and I were at a show in Crappo, Md and while we were gone I had the ranch hands install an electric fence to keep the coyotes out of Zues's food. We got home late so I let Zues in his stall and put him to bed with his favorite Mr. Ed blanket. I woke up early that morning to feed the hogs, milk the cows, brush the donkey and wash the dog. I heard the Almighty Zues awake from his slumber and let out a thunderous roar, apparently old groucho the family rooster had pecked his balls by accident.
I wasn't thinking that morning otherwise I would have warned the Almighty Zues about the electric fence before he strolled out to unleash his morning urination stream. I I skipped over to the fence so that I could watch ( I like to watch because the Almighty Zues is hung like a giraffe), right when he began to let loose I remembered the fence It was to late, the Almighty Zues flew back about 30 yards when his nads caught on fire. It was a horrible site and he still has not forgiven me
Yeah well what about the sneaky one that turns it back on while you are working on it with it wrapped in the handsfredsaid2 said:When we had to work on the fence I'd send one of my sisters to turn off the charger. There were two, for two different pastures. They would always turn off the wrong one. I would tell them to turn off both to be sure, still get shocked. The rule ended up being whoever turned off the charger had to touch the fence first!

so i had a cousin who decided to spit on the electric fence....it reached the fence before it was detached from....
leading my pony, brushed against it and she felt it all the way through the lead rope and took off.
my dog had an invisible fence with collar. he used to go to sleep on the fence line...i think he liked getting shocked...
