As a farmer, the safety of your horse and well-being are paramount. A good fence is crucial in achieving this, preventing escapes, injuries, and keeping out unwanted visitors. Here, we'll explore the benefits of Gallagher electric fencing for horses, focusing on essential products for a secure pasture.
The Dangers of Substandard Fencing:
Entanglement Hazards: Loose or sagging wires or tape can snag a horse rolling in the field, leading to serious injuries.
Insufficient Current: Horses are sensitive to electric fences. A weak current won't deter them, but in a panic situation, the wrong materials might not break away, causing cuts.
Gallagher Electric Fences for Your Horse
Gallagher offers a variety of electric fencing systems specifically designed for horses. These systems are safe, effective, and easy to use. Here are some of the benefits of using Gallagher electric fencing for horses:
Safe and humane: Gallagher electric fences deliver a short, sharp shock that is unpleasant but not harmful to horses. This discourages them from touching the fence again.
Effective: Gallagher electric fences are very effective at keeping horses contained. The high-voltage, low-amperage pulse is enough to deter even the most determined horse.
Easy to use: Gallagher electric fence systems are easy to install and maintain. They come with everything you need to get started, including energisers, fencing wire, insulators, and grounding rods.
Durable: Gallagher electric fences are built to last. They are made from high-quality materials that can withstand the elements and rough use by horses.
Peace of Mind for You, Safety for Your Horse
Gallagher's mission is "Protect what matters most," and their electric fencing systems deliver on that promise. Let's delve into the key components for a safe horse fence:
TurboStar Tape: This unique tape offers several advantages:
Strength and Conductivity: Top and bottom conductor wires make the tape robust, easier to clamp, and ensure consistent current throughout. This discourages horses from rubbing as they sense the current throughout the tape.
Wind Resistance: The open structure reduces windblown flapping, minimising damage.
Optimal Conduction: Central guided wires conduct electricity effectively, further enhanced by their interconnected design.
Horse-Friendly Output: The MBS1000i delivers a safe but effective pulse that deters horses without causing harm.
Adaptive Control Module: This feature automatically adjusts the voltage output based on fence conditions, ensuring safety even for shorter fences. It also compensates for vegetation touching the wire, maintaining fence effectiveness.
Real-Time Monitoring: The MBS1000i comes with a Wi-Fi gateway controller that allows real-time fence monitoring and alerts through a free smartphone app. This provides instant notification of any potential issues affecting your horse's safety.
Gallagher Fence Posts:Gallagher Fence Posts are the secret weapon of your horse fence. Here's why:
Flexible Strength: Forget rigid posts that can injure horses. Line Posts' unique core gives on impact, keeping your horse safe. Plus, they last over 25 years!
Maintenance-Free: No more scraping or painting! The durable HDPE plastic shrugs off weather and keeps your fence looking great.
Safety & Efficiency: Built-in insulators at various heights make setup a breeze. Plus, the fully insulated posts prevent shocks for you and your horse.
Using all three components creates a safe haven for your horse. The TurboStar Tape deters escape attempts, the MBS1000i energiser delivers a safe but effective shock, and the Gallagher Line Posts provide a secure and long-lasting fence structure.
