Safer Fencing Sighter Wire
Conductive carbon strips Highly conductive carbon coated steel core Polyethylene safety coating
Specifically designed for horses - protect your horse with PEL Electrified Sighter Wire. • Ideal for use as a permanent fence or as an addition to an existing fence with outriggers • 7 mm thick wire is highly visible and designed to help prevent injury in the event of animal entanglement. • The smooth polyethylene safety coating will help minimise animal injury. • Durable, UV stable and stress-crack resistant PEL Electrified Sighter Wire maintains its appearance year after year, reducing your ongoing fence maintenance requirements.
Available in 250m rolls, black or white and includes a 15 year warranty.
HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT PEL EQUINE SIGHTER WIRE? I saw it at an equestrian facility I was working at and thought it was a genius idea. One night I came home late from a competition and the truck spooked one of the horses we had paddocked in the sighter wire. He bolted and demolished 8 paddocks of sighter wire (this was my first experience with it). When we finally caught the horse I expected there to be nothing left of him but all we could see was a few rubs on his chest where he had lost some hair but not a drop of blood. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it is an amazing product.
WHY DID YOU THINK THIS PRODUCT WAS THE BEST TO USE ON YOUR PROPERTY? WHY DID YOU NOT GO FOR POST AND RAIL? We will have a small amount of post and rail fencing on the property but I think sighter wire is best for the horses, its tough, low-no maintenance, looks great and the horses can't chew on it.
- Jock Paget.

Earth Earth System System
Spring comes with fast growing grass and new shoots that can cause serious health issues for your horse. Grass which has been over grazed, or is in rapid growth mode has a mineral imbalance that can have will likely have a huge effect on your horse. These conditions can also cause the growth of moulds and fungi which produce mycotoxins. Both mineral imbalances and mycotoxins can cause grass staggers, which has an effect on horses, sheep, cows and deer. Grass staggers is a nerve and muscle disorder which causes weakness and dizziness among a ray of issues. If you notice any of the below warning signs you must immediately remove your horse from grass; • • • • •
Muscle weakness – particularly through the hind quarters Stumbling Swayed walking Increased sensitivity to sounds Standing with a wide base
RACE STRIP GRAZING EXAMPLE:
METHODS TO PREVENT THE RISK OF STAGGERS INCLUDE; • Ensure paddocks are properly electrified to prevent break through • Remove or limit access to grass which is experiencing rapid growth • Increase minerals particularly as salt's into supplementary feeds • Ensure paddocks are properly managed and maintained throughout the year without being over or under grazed Strip grazing paddocks is important as it maximises control over grass length and paddock control. During spring it is critical that strip grazing fences are electric as horses will break through and gorge on fresh grass. With horses that are particularly prone to breaking through temporary fence it may be beneficial to run multi-wire fences with tall tread ins.
