So we currently have two useable pastures, a third that we need to check the fencing before we can turn out. However I am wanting to put in another pasture or two and stick electric fencing on one of the pastures.... My problem is the new pastures are going to be wooden fence posts and then electric wire.. They won't be 24/7 pastures but I still want to electricize them. 3 out of 4 sides is no climb fencing and safe, the front part is what I am going to fence off. So I want to get a solar fence charger for that section. It's MAYBE 300' feet if not a lot less. Probably 200'. So don't need something crazy strong..

The other pasture is about 2 acres and I want to electrify it as the horses in the like to lean a lot on the fence.

I have a zareba and it works good for 9 months out of the year. I don't have great southern exposure, combined with the short days, and mostly cloudy skies in the winter, it just didn't work. Even after scraping off the frost and snow every day. I had to use a 12 volt electric fence charger with a car battery. A good deep cycle battery lasts a month before it needs recharging.
