I've had horses of my own for 30 years I guess and used electric fence as long as I can remember.
We had permanent setup on my farm down south. We sold it and moved north. Living in a temporary situation while working on our land is what spurred the interest in the portable setup.

Wow, so you are a legacy farmer then? Because of some of my theories, I always prefer mobile to permanent, my theory being that I am likely to change my mind before too long! ;p
