How to build a Gallagher Horse / Equine Electric Fence

Electric fencing for horse control is ideal for grazing and pasture management and offers many advantages when compared to a conventional non-electrified fence.
Electric horse fencing is economical, reducing cost by as much as 50% less than traditional non-electrified fences. An electric horse fence also takes less than half the time to build compared to traditional fence systems, saving you time and money.
In addition to the cost savings, electric fencing for horses act as a psychological barrier and many times are safer than a traditional non-electrified fence. Horses remember the short, sharp, but safe shock and develop respect for the fence. This also has the advantage of increasing the longevity of your fencing system as horses will be less likely to make contact with your fence causing wear and tear.
Getting started
There are two types of electric fencing for horses; permanent and temporary. Either of these options may be powered with four energizer options: 110v plug-in, battery, battery/solar or solar energizers.
A permanent electric horse fence system is suited for long-term horse control and is the most effective way to control horses while maximizing pasture efficiency. It is important to make sure your electric fence system is constructed properly. The effectiveness of your electric horse fence depends on the correct combination of these four factors for your particular situation:
1. The energizer you select
2. A ground system
3. Well insulated fence system
4. An adequate lead-out (connection between the energizer and the fence)
Temporary electric horse fencing provides flexibility in pasture management and is ideal for short-term horse control or rotational horse grazing.
Horse Fence with Hot Offset Easily transported, constructed and maintained, temporary horse fencing is an effective portable fencing solution, which can be powered by 110v plug-in, battery, solar/battery or a solar energizer.
The main uses of temporary electric fencing are:
Grazing pasture and crops
Short term horse control
Intensive grazing
Impromptu, portable fencing - corrals when travelling / protection of hay bales, silage and restriction of water ways
Portable electric fencing has many benefits:
Fast and easy installation
Re-usable / portable
Cost effective
Convenient to transport / carry

Sins here in holland noboddy can answer my question i hope u can 😅
I'm planning to use horse wire on plastic post's.
I was planning to drill thrugh the post's and run the wire thrugh them without using insulators.
(The end post's is a different story).
Now i keep getting no its not possible it can't be done because the wire will ground out.
Now i'm thinking the insulators are plastic the post's are plastic why should i buy all those insulators on plastic post's??
Can it be done or am i thinking about this all wrong ??

I'm sure you figured this out already but yeah you idea would work. There's a plastic fence post that comes with pre drilled holes for exactly this type of thing. Lookup timeless fence for an example.
