Why do horses escape??! LOL,  It's not like we aren't good to them! 

I found a little gadget that clips on to the fence and will flash a bright light when there is not enough charge going through the wire to stop your animals.  It has caught fence failures several times for me. Daisy knows when that fence isn't hot, and she will try to escape over to greener pastures now that she knows how.  The little Mini horse could possibly squeeze between the wires, but the half draft....well...she mastered it.  At least she doesn't always break the fence on the way out.  BTW I have 4 strands of that electrobraid style rope.  Not a crappy horse-containment system.  She can limbo under it, or weasel through it.  Not a hair displaced on the horse, and not a strand of wire out of place. I thought someone was playing a joke and letting her out of the pasture.  Thankfully she's the easiest horse to catch.  But boy, after several escapes and thinking of how bad it would be if she was on the road.....I like my little fence light.
