As some may be aware, ElectroBraid was purchased by another US company in late 2023/early 2024 and all inventory has been taken from Canada to their new US warehouse. ElectroBraid is unavailable to be shipped to Canada at this time and thus I have been unable to restock inventory. Unfortunately, there is no indication that I will be able to continue to be a distributor here in Canada and, as such, I am offering my remaining inventory at 30% off.

Currently available:
-Ground rod clamp (4)
-Lead out wire (100')
-Neutral plate connector (8)
-Roller insulator (6 individual)
-Copper split bolts (6 individual)
-Energizer Corral Super NA 500 Duo (1)
-Fence tester (2)
-Gate handle (1)
-Cut out switch (5)
-Tension kit (1)
-Fence warning signs (3)

Q) What makes ElectroBraid a safe horse fence?
There are no impact injuries, no sharp points or hard edges, and no wires to cut or puncture. There are no boards to break or splinter; horses crib on board fences and rub against them and even minor cuts can become seriously infected. The worst potential injury with ElectroBraid is if a horse is able to wrap a strand of ElectroBraid completely around a leg and struggles. The prospect of such an accident can be virtually eliminated by wiring and grounding the fence correctly and by keeping the ElectroBraid taut.

Q) What is ElectroBraid horse fence?
ElectroBraid is a permanent electric horse fence designed especially for horses, made right here in CANADA. It is both a physical barrier and a psychological deterrent with a break strength of 1,300 pounds. It is highly visible to horses, strong, durable, and resilient.

ElectroBraid looks like high quality braided yachting rope. A double helix of copper wire conductors is braided into the outer jacket of the electric fence rope. Two to four strands of ElectroBraid of ¼ inch diameter are mounted on insulators on fence posts which may be wood, vinyl, or steel and spaced 30 to 50 feet apart.

Traditional electric horse fence uses small diameter steel wires, which are hard for horses to see. The newer ElectroBraid knock-offs on the market are not 100% copper systems nor are they fully braided, making them weaker, less resilient, and much less durable. The ropes of ElectroBraid are highly visible and can absorb the energy of a panicked horse and will typically bounce the horse back into its pasture with no harm to horse or fence.

I was pulled from my field, from my work, from my play, ne'er again to see England, in lands far away,

Through death and destruction, through blood sweat and tears,
I carried my master, along with my peers.

So I ask you to remember a while, along with the soldiers, in smart rank and file, remember our beauty, the strength of our kind,

As we galloped through danger, without care to mind, for we were the horses thrust into war, we gave up our lives for your peace evermore.

The War Horse, 1914 - 1918
