Try a shires comfort one Jessey. They dont have any metal clips. I pop a bobble round the 2 Velcro parts,it will still pull apart if they are caught on something but stops them rubbing the Velcro undone. He is certainly giving you the run around!
I'll have to pick one up, that's the first time it's been clean off and a good thing too as he obviously got the clip caught on the net.Try a shires comfort one Jessey.

It's not Dan getting legs caught that I'm concerned about, it's Jess and unless leccy is several feet from a solid fence she will get legs in it. To be brutally honest Dan will find a new home before I would put in unbreakable fence likely to hurt her.I know you hate it but I’d stick fence him in with two or three leccy strands I front of it so that he’s getting zap and still not getting through. He won’t get legs through it if it’s on the outside of the post and the leccy is in the inside.
Stella was the same. Only thing that kept her in was stock fencing with leccy and a good strong energiser/battery infringement. Anything else got wrecked and burst through including wire
That would be great, thanks the make of the muzzle may be as important as the modifications.One of my fellow liveries has adapted a grazing muzzle (I think it's a Dinky) to make it Shetland-proof. I'll ask her what she did, I know you're really handy.
I'm not entirely convinced Hank is good for Dan though, it is always Hank chasing Dan when they 'play', they are good when separated from Jess but when all 3 are together it becomes pretty incessant, I do wonder if that is the reason Dan goes under fences. Rehoming him would be an absolute last resort, I don't want to, but if he were to start getting lami then I may not have much choice if I can't keep him contained.You cant part with Dan. Hes good for Hank. Just not for you at present.
Perhaps his coat is protecting him sometimes, but I've seen him jolt from it a couple of times.With his thick coat he may not be getting zapped. Plus he might be getting in between jolts if hes that quick.
Theres so much overgrowth on my fencing at present that I expect theres very little current going through but I've got some persistent sheep that keep going through my temporary 4 strand wires at present. It's doing my head in as there keen enough to get out but they then stand the other side kicking off that they cant get back. They go so fast that they dont get jolted. I have to walk down the bank every night to get them back.
Only for a few more days though then there moving onto the field we just cut for hay last week. Theres no electric fencing in there and proper solid fencing. There stuffed then. Haha.
Yep I did that on Sunday, spent all morning mowing the fence line, disconnecting the bit he targeted from the rest and put separate energizer on it, he was out again the next morning, but hasn't been since, although I never reconnected that energizer after removing it to go fetch him.If you've got a seperate energiser to target the spot hes going through I would put it on.
