We like the polyrope for our grazing horses... because they respect it.
It is very visible, that even a young filly sees and understands not
to touch it. We use it with stakes which a blacksmith has made, so we
can change its position very easily.
Excellent experience with Zareba. This was my first time building an electric fence for a horse pasture and Zareba's products are excellent. They are well engineered and they have thought through every detail. Just follow their guides and you won't go wrong.
I will add that you don't have to sacrifice aesthetics for effectiveness. I originally ordered yellow insulators but reordered black ones to help it blend in with the existing barbed wire fence that I needed to enhance with electricity. Horses aren't stupid and don't need a bright color to figure out to avoid the wire.
Hope all this helps.
