As it is an exposed field, I use electric rope, rather than tape, as it withstands the wind better.

Please be very wary about using electric rope around your field. True it does stand up to the wind better than electric tape but it can be very dangerous. I used it a few years ago and one of my horses decided to role near to the fence. He went on his back & right over landing his legs across the electric rope. This startled him & he jumped up with the rope caught around his feet/legs. He galloped off, ripping the rope off the insulated hooks. My wife was in the field & he ran past her and the ripped the rope caught around the back of her legs. As a result I took her to the hospital to be treated for serious rope burns around the backs of both legs. She had the dressings changed daily & eventually she healed. That was over 10 years ago & the scars still remain. Tape will flap in the wind but it has a fairly low breaking strain. we have all seen tape breaking when horses have broken into another paddock but the rope has a very high breaking strain & can cause serious injury. My horse was not seriously injured but my wife was. I have never used rope since then. I always use green tape now & had no issues since changing over. Please take this message serious, be very careful using electric rope.
