We troubleshot and eventually completely fixed one of our solar electric horse fences today. So many things can go wrong with these, and we tested a good amount of them before finally bringing the fence back up to the 7000 volts it should be putting out! ⚡
The first thing we tried was cleaning and retightening the connection to the ground rod. That did not fix it, but I'm glad we have that done. The second thing we did was look for loose connections and for places where it was shorting out. The fence was lowered last year to accommodate the new foal we had, and that's where a lot of the problems were. The way the rope was wrapped on the connectors had the rope touching the t-post in several locations. The fence was also touching a tree, and the final place it was touching - well you'll just have to watch the video and see! The fence is now back to 100%, but there are issues to be addressed before the horses are set out on pasture.
