Barbed wire: dangers

There is an incredible variety of fencing materials on the market. Cables, ropes, or wires are difficult for horses to see. Many other materials allow the horse to rub or lean against them, with the ensuing problems given the strength of our friend. Others allow the development of bad habits, such as chewing on them or, worse, crib-biting...

With the Badi Farm Shockproof Safety Electric Fence system, the horse, after the experience of encountering the fence, only remembers the fear of encountering it again and has no scars or impairments!
One of the best results of our ten years of work with electrified fences has been to no longer have horses injured due to fences. The notes below are a summary of your phone calls reporting the inconveniences suffered by your horses with the use of dangerous fences. Hoping they can be a warning to those considering similar installations. Let's start talking about the most dangerous:

Barbed wire

We hope it is not a system you use. It doesn't matter that 7 out of 10 horses respect it! It is one of the most dangerous fences: very often we find them used by cattle breeders who rent their fields as pastures; it is used by those who are not well aware of the results on livestock.

Try looking at this photo. Despite not having the mediocre eyesight of a horse, the only thing you notice too is the two Ref. B4 shockproof tapes and not the terrible barrier of barbed wire behind it. This fence causes not only scratches on the horse's coat, but severed tendons, deep wounds that cause very serious infections (very often tetanus) and acts as a support and propagator of diseases, with its claws cutting all animals that pass nearby. How many horses has it ruined? Even without the sharp thorns, the iron wire electric fence, widely used among breeders, called the "stops everything" or "butter cutter" is a terrible trap: once oxidized it takes on a brownish color that makes it completely invisible. We let you imagine what can happen...

This fence can be called a "tendon cutter" due to its high breaking point.

We can mark it with a strip of 40 mm Shockproof Tape!
But then using only the tape doesn't cost less!

Forget about the iron wire.
