We were thinking to have a 100 x 200 sacrifice paddock with a run-in
shed and that's where we would keep the horses most of the time, feed
them, etc and there would be a gate opening to a larger pasture where
we would let them loose part of the day, depending on weather.

The 100 x 200 would be fenced with a wood fence -- 6 x 6 posts 8 ft
apart with 3 - 2 x 6 rails.  The larger pasture would be electric.

Does this sound OK?
