    Stop horses trashing the expensive fencing!!

    This is my first blog post of many I hope:-).  I am new to Electric Fencing Direct ... my name is Leslie Sutherland.

    I wasn't really sure how to start my first ever blog... so here goes I decided to write about something that I am interested in and something that I can give you information about to help you improve a situation.
