[TheForge] building a fence

[Jerry Frost]

That works for most horses and even the excapist mare 
once we taught her the electric fence doesn't always 
hum before biting. We hung white flats to mark the wire 
and after a while that's all we'd do for temporary 
fencing, string and white flags. They wouldn't get 
close enough to check.
