My first thought was that this was all one big innuendo.

Yea, except for the fact that electricity passing from one arm out the other would pass through your chest and stop your heart, I believe you. For all I know you could be writing this from hell.

why the **** do you have an electric fence for your horse? that's kind of unnecessary.

I've done the same thing, I leaned over the fence to pet my horse and grabbed the wire by accident. He did not like that.

really some of you people are that stupid there are so many things that could have happened and were you there to see it? No, so stop making stupid comments on how she should be dead. I have personally touched a electric fence while going to get my horse out of pasture and i'm still here and alive. You could die yes, but that also depends on the voltage and clearly it wasn't that high. #87 you do not know her life and therefore you have no right to say that. I have a horse but i have a ****** up life. I was verbally and physically abused but i have a horse so dont tell me her life isnt fml worthy just because she has a horse. who are you to judge?

k, honestly, STFU, unless you have experience dont say stupid stuff lile thats impossible, you have to use electric fences for horses or theyll run rght through the fence, and they spook so easily and have no control over themselves when they do, so this is probably very true

You're extremely lucky the shock didn't travel through your heart and give you a heart attack. The worst thing you can do when being shocked on one side is to touch something with the other side. Btw, voltage has nothing to do with this. Current is the only factor when deciding whether or not you'll die from an electric shock.

Had to comment this, yes it is completly possible, yes she would be alive, yes it most deifnatly would travel to the horse, and yes even if the horse kicked her in the face which is unlikely, she would still be alive unless some extreme circumstance happend where the horse was trapped. Why do I know this for a fact? I train horses. They spook, it happens, the horse probably jumped away when the shock got to them and in doing so pulled the person off balance even more. The only way the horse wouldnt be shocked too was if the person was holding onto a metal free lead rope and not touching the horse in any way. Also, an electric fence, is pretty much not strong enough to kill ANYTHING bigger than a rat (if it held on while touching the ground too), still hurts like a bitch when you grab it or fall on it. (to the people that say it's cruel, reports of fence related horse injuries go drasticly lower when it's electric instead of normal where the horse will often to to reach grass outside the pasture, break the wire, get tangled in it, panic and seriously hurt themselves. It is much kinder than barb wire. We used to have a weird horse who liked to lip the fence for the rush, It's not that strong, chill out.)

Dude I feel your pain. Electric fences hurt like hell. Similar thing happened to me at my stables.

hahahahaha, aww gewd tymes"P
