Help with electric fence decision??

I would think the solar charger would be enough also. The white poly tape is highly visible except against snow. It's white tape against a white snow background. Sometimes the horses get running and go through the white tape after a fresh snow. But that rarely happens.

We used to use solar chargers for the fences, but they never seemed to last. Either I was replacing a bad battery or the poly silicon solar module would give up the ghost or the "plastic: covering over the solar module would get so degraded that the solar cell would not get enough light to charge the battery.

We have switched over to electric chargers on any fence we can.

One grain of salt, I am using solar chargers in Central Texas where 90 days of 100 deg + temps are not uncommon. Very few electrics left out in that sun hold up well over time.

We use electric chargers. They run 24/7 year round. But for a seasonal garden I think a solar would do the job.
