A lot of the expensive horsewalkers Claydon Monarch have pushers on them, which is basically electric fencing on the panel behind them, they stop and get an electric shock, modern walkers do have an automatic stop on them however, that is if a horse gets trapped, mine wasnt he was on the floor with other horses walking over him to scared to stand still and make the emergency stop work due to the pushers. This is very similar to the horsewalker he tried to escape, the outer fencing i dont think was quite as high www.monarch-equestrian.co.uk/sovereign.html. Sadly we live and learn, but my poor lad how traumatic for him, and it is something 12 years down the line he has never ever forgotten.
