[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 669588, member: 9413"] We have a small pen with about a 100 foot run of hot wire with a 100 mile charger on the top of the fence to keep the horses from leaning over to the cows hay. I was in the pen checking on some of the cows that were due, and my lovely wife was heading for a walk on the property to check on some of the other cows. I started to take the long way around to the gate to join her, and she suggested that I use the stock tank and climb over the fence at the corner bracing. I knew the fence was on but thought my legs were long enough to clear the hot wire. :dunce: As I was straddling the fence I heard the click... :o Either electricity doesn't travel at 186,000 miles/second, or what they say about your life passing before your eyes before you die is true, because I had plenty of time to think about what was about to occur. I assure you, rattling my teeth was the last thing I was concerned with. I think this summer I'll add a gate at this corner with a disconnect. [/QUOTE]
