How can I stop my horse jumping out of her paddock? I put hay in for her but she never stays in it. She always prefers someone else's. We have electric fencing, should I put more field tape inside to double up?

Thanks everyone - She already has electric fencing and she goes out probably 4 - 6 times a week so is getting excercise However, have now found out that she was in fact limboing out and not jumping ! Solved the problem by double fencing with a lower strand of tape. Thanks again !

Hi There, You should make the fencing higher and put some rope in the middel so she wont escape underneath. do NOT put barbed wire there it can cause serious injury. Good Luck
