Hello October how did you end so quickly?

In August we were contacted and asked to supply some electric fencing to keep 28 horses enclosed in the evenings on The Warhorse Ride 2014. We did so with pleasure and asked in return to see some pictures of this great ride. The horses that were to be enclosed were militry horses who were taking part in The Warhorse Ride in commemoration of all the men and horses who were invloved in the early part of the Great War.

Here is a bit fo information on the ride:

Well your fields have been in full use now for a few months and I am sure the animals have tested the fencing a few times, tried to munch it and also there has been vegetation growth.

Here are some things to check and look out for.

1. Check your power source? If mains - are all the connections still nice and tight no fraying? If battery - battery still charging? Are the energiser battery connections in place? If you are using a solar panel with a battery - is the solar panel in the correct position

Hello.

Did you know we have 4 different types of paddock rope, 2 different thickness, 2 different colours and 3 different conductivity levels? No?.....well read on

So rope is a great thing it has a higher breaking point than Tape and if kept correctly it will last longer so for your permanent fences its great, let me talk you through some of the gang.

Value Electro Rope - 200m by 6mm White 

Our Value electro rope is heavy duty and hard working paddock rope. Ideal rope for small/splitting paddocks

A few weeks ago I was in London spying out electric fencing whilst trying to find green space in such a large sprawling matropolis!

This week I have some great electric fencing photos from New Zealand... alas I haven't just been on a trip of a life time to New Zealand...!   However Billy Boy our technical guru was in New Zealand a few months ago and he took some pictures of electric fencing for us.  The Kiwi's seem to be the kings of electric fencing - its everywhere!

Have a look at the pictures

Pigs.

I think people think pigs are very dirty stinky animals but that is not true (although at the moment whilst they are spreading on the fields I am not loving pigs...) Yes pigs like to wallow in the mud (much like my dog......)

While it is well accepted knowledge that pigs wallow in mud in order to regulate body temperature and keep cool, but did you know it is also for their wellbeing. So a happy pig has food and water, shelter with bedding, a wallowing hole, a place to forage and interaction

Walking around London today trying to find some green space... as you do... and can you believe it I spied some electric fencing!

Leslie said - "only you could find cows and electric fencing in London....."  Actually the cows had gone but the electric fencing was still there!  Nice little system using ring insulators and rope to stop the cows from leaning over the stock fence.

Hello folks,

We are at that time of year where the fox cubs come out to play and learn to hunt, unfortunately this means your chicken might be at risk.

Here are some tips on what to check to make sure your netting is running at full capacity:

1. Use your KV10 LED fence tester for this as not only does it let you know the fence has power but it tells you how much power.

2. So the netting is up and in place and has been for some time: (please make sure you turn the power off before you do theses checks)

So if you have already had the 1st part of our down South travels here is everything else we learnt.

To the Poultry netting on a slope......

We were given a 25m poultry net with 'HOTGATE' and let loose with the same instructions as you get and a wayward Leslie...

Firstly can I please please say to you all PLEASE read the instructions before you start because if you get in a pickle it is a 25 or 50m net pickle and not fun.

We laid out the netting as instructed as I must say so far so good we
