When you have horses or other livestock and you don't want to feed them hay and grain all summer long, you're always putting up or taking down electric fence.  This was the case with us last night. 

The horses had polished off most of the grass in their latest pasture and needed to be moved.  We're in the process of fencing off a big meadow on my parents' property, but in the meantime there is some lush grass in the windbreak that we wanted to take advantage of.  So, we quickly put up some electric fence so they could spend a couple days "mowing" that area for us.

With most of our fencing projects, you work with the old...

and the new.

 The end result is always happy horses!
