I am looking to put a cheap, safe paddock for my horse. He was being neglected at a previous boarding barn, and no other barns in my area have fencing that is spaced close enough for him (he is a mini). I did send him to the trainer for 6 weeks as a temporary solution to buy us some time, but hes due to come home the 25th. We had so much rain that the field was too muddy to do anything in. This week we will be doing some work adding more ditches and digging out the area where the barn goes, so we can make a gravel bed. We decided if we are going to have to put up fencing out of pocket, we will just put up a small shed row barn and fencing at home for him. We are doing a 24x60 dry lot right off of the barn, and also a 60x120 where we can turnout and I can also drive. The 24x60 will be field fencing backed up with electric.
We wanted to do the 60x120 paddock in hot rope, and I wanted to use electrobraid, but there is no way we can afford it right now, since we also have the expense of putting up the barn. I came across Baygard brand 1/4" hot rope, but cant find any reviews about the actual fence. I was wondering if anyone has used it? Im scared to use something that has no reviews and im not familiar with the brand. Here is a link to it:
Baygard electric fence 1/4" hot rope
Also, does anyone think a 24x60 would be ok as a temporary paddock for a horse who is driven 5 days a week?
