St James Homestead Public Horse Paddocks Upgrade

 Paddocks are safe now.

 

There is now an insulated outrigger wire around the perimeter of all the paddocks, and the internal tape fences and gates are insulated and supplied from the perimeter wire.

 

All we ask is that people wanting to use them to put a portable unit on any of the insulated fences and the whole system will be alive and horse safe.
