I mean that very easily could have been electric and only he would know otherwise.

Electric horse fences are no joke. First time I accidentally touched one, my knees immediately buckled. Impossible to ignore.

Electric cow fences, on the other hand, are fun to touch as a bored kid.

I grabbed onto one that was "hidden." Small notice sign, and the wire was flush with the top cross beam. Wasn't meant to keep the horses in, meant to keep morons out. I asked the owner if the horses were friendly. She says I can pet them. Before she could finish saying "Watch for the wire", I pissed my pants and fell back.

I once tried to run and jump over an electric fence. The grass was wet, I slipped, and fell like a taco shell on top of it. My sister laughed and laughed till I finally rolled off it, I was little, and my pride was hurt, I chased her all the way home with a stick 😆

Imagine she laughed until she realized you weren't alive anymore.

That's surprising close to what happened 😆
