The horse that stays in the paddock with the tree chews when she is bored. Nobody wants to completely redo fence but there are other materials that fence can be made from (plastics, rubber, etc) that the horses may not chew on as badly. The electric wire at the top may save top rails but may not bottom ones unless you put up another strand of wire partway down so there is a clear barrier of space between the horse and the fence created by the electric wire. Would get really old wrapping all the fence rails though. We have it hooked onto itself so the ends of the wires wrap towards the tree so nobody gets poked but the tree. Its been up since 2007 and weve never had to fix it or worry about the tree. We have a tree that grows in one of our paddocks and we wrapped the trunk of the tree in a high tinsel wire (probably has 2in by 3in long holes) because the horses were eating the bark and killing the tree.
