Looking for help with a problem. I have a horse that has seizures & when he does he tends to bang into everything & anything that is anywhere near him. This weekend he has been experiencing a lot of seizures & am looking for help before he hurts himself worse. I do not want him confined to his stall because he has been know to fall threw it & get hurt any way he can in there, not there are a lot of ways our eyes can see but you know how they can find a way to get hurt out of anything. Outside he has a big lean to & when he had an episode today he was caught in there banging all around until it was over & he walked back out. So he is out with free roam of the pasture. This seems to give him the most room to stumble around or fall without injury. He likes to take off running at full gallop like a wild horse after some of his seizures so afraid he could go threw fence with this situation. I am not a wealthy person so do not have the best fences but try to improve on them every year, probably could have had a good one by now with all the redoing I have done over the years. The pasture now it part vinyl fencing, part t-posts with plastic caps on the tops of them & that white electric rope for the perimeter with top strand electric. So, I am looking for any low cost suggestions or hints to make his area as safe as possible. Thanks in advance, Terri

All things considered the wide vinyl with 3 wires running through it and put under strong tension might be best.
