I have a 3 year old who has cut her pastern 3 times now. We have replaced the water trough because we thought she was pawing in it but she came up with another cut. I want to stop this she has also pulled a shoe the only thing we can come up with is that she is hanging it in the fence. I have considered putting boots on her.

Yes, potentially very dangerous fencing for horses, especially if shod. I wouldn't be shoeing an immature horse anyway, but agree with others that an elec fence would probably be the cheapest & easiest solution. Otherwise is it possible she's overreaching & cutting herself with her back toes? Are they shod too?
