Yes,horses are very much affected by an electric shock. My friend boards horses. He has boarded horses for years. There is an electric fence all around the pasture and believe me, when a horse bumps up against the electric fence and gets shocked, they react very quickly to the electricity. They avoid the fence completely after getting shocked a few times.
If you use the wireless dog fence correctly and follow the instructions the fence can be an affective tool. The wireless dog fence has different settings on strength of shock and can be harmful to a dog if used incorrectly.
The electric dog fence is meant as a negative reinforcement to guide a dog away from certain boundaries. Although it does inflict pain, it is not meant to harm it more than its mother would nipping it away from a certain area. However, it is still meant as a negative reinforcement and is not meant to create a pleasant feeling for the dog. If a dog continues to walk into the electrical current and does not seem to understand the boundaries that it is creating, it might not be the ideal form of training for your dog.
It is possible for a bird to be shocked if landing on an electric fence but not likley. Since the bird is not standing on the ground and touching the fence the elctricity has no where to go so the bird should be fine. Other animals get shocked because they are touching the fence and another objecy such as the ground. As long as the bird is touching only the fence, the electricity has no where to go.
Yes all living things can get harmed by an electric fence
No rust in a horse's water does not harm the horses. Our horses have rusty water and they in perfect health.

Use fences. An electric perimeter fence is almost a necessity when you have large farm animals. If you can not plug an electric fence in they also make solar powered fences.
No, because if you put one in the house it may shock or kill your dog.
Horses get itchy, he is scratching his bottom.
If you make sure it is ona low voltage, an electric fence can be a safe and effective way to keep the animals you want in your fence in and those you want out on the other side of the fence without harm. When kept on a low voltage it would give off enough of a shock to startle and scare of wildlife without causing damage.
because your horse probably knows what it is for if he got shocked once or twice then he should now know
Assuming what you meant to ask was "How do you stop your horse from chewing wood", I would suggest an electric fence wire lining the post rail fencing in the horses paddock. The fence wire sends a mild electric pulse when the horse touches it, teaching him not to touch the fence therefore not to chew the fence. If your horse was chewing on a rug or bandages though, for example, I would buy a pepper spray bottle from your local saddlery. It is a unique formula of spices that tastes 'hot' when the horse chews on whatever it has been sprayed on, teaching him not to chew.
I would say a wooden fence with at least one strand of electric wire above the fence. So that way your horse won't try to get out or ruin the fence for the wire will shock him/her, and don't worry it doesn't hurt that bad. It will just discourage the horse from trying anything stupid.
I am needing a fence put up for my dogs. What is the average cost for an electric dog fence?
a Fence that holds electricity currents
if the dog goes near it and they might get shocked if it climbs on it. An electic dog fence will not cause damage to your dog. The voltage is rated low enough that it won't cause damage.
dont think that is possible- tehe- however, you may just have to electric fence it off- at a high voltage
at or above the horses whithers is best. Most horses will not try to jump something above their chest, unless they are a trained jumping horse that is used to jumping things taller than 5 feet, in which case, the fence would have to be pretty tall, or electric, to discourage the horse from jumping it.
