Containing a Shetland

[ahlam1399]

😩He?s usually pretty good and until this week hasn?t even tried to escape! I?d fenced off an area for other horses using just one strand of electric rope. Added him to the mix and he stayed put for ages, although admittedly I knew he?d probably get out at some point and when he did I added another strand lower. I?m now up to 3 strands and the battery is charged (I?m getting shocks) I?ve made sure it?s not touching much so shouldn?t be earthing out. I?ve watched him do it several times he just charges flat out through and somehow manages to get the other side without damaging the fence (at least I can be grateful for that I suppose!) He seems happy to take the quick zap to get to the grass. I?m currently returning him 2 a day and could be countless times if I was there more often. Any ideas besides tethering the little sod?!I can bring him home but tbh that?s my last resort as he?d be alone which I don?t like. Our minimal grazing here is recovering from being hammered over winter so I can?t bring the others back. He removes muzzles just as fast. Driving me nuts!!
