Same here. Once our herd of horses got zapped a few times the fence (which did
cause some RFI) was turned off. They stay away from it on or off. Will need
to activate it again this summer after we turn out a new foal but shouldn't
need to be on long.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Electric Fence
How long do you operate at a stretch? Is turning off the electric fence
during operating times impractical?
I had thousands of linear feet of electric fencing (including, if not
especially, the top strand - for horses.) My experience was that the
fence became more of a training device (like the Invisible Fence for
dogs) than a deterrent. After the livestock (and we had all kinds)
learned where the fence was - they stayed away. Even when the fence was
off. In fact, in later years, we had large sections of electric fencing
that had become inoperative. Our critters (the same individuals) acted
like it was up and running. (But, if we through a new guy in, then we
had a problem - he didn't know the "routine.")
