meeting for the The hydro controversy rages all over our aria and has done so for the past three years The enormous standards seem to be inevitable and most of the general public have shrugged their shoulders However a recent mimeographed notice from Walter Scott of Georgetown Safely Engineer for Massey Ferguson set me back on my heels It reads Danger to horses and near high voltage electrical lines Do not ride or drive horses near or under ultra high voltage electrical lines planned for this area Any metallic items in tack bits buckles etc will pick up an electrical charge which may give the horse a severe electrical shock This in turn will cause erratic unpredictable actions by the horse The voltage buildup in the ground near lines may also cause a current to flow between the front and rear legs of a horse between a rider and horse when mounting or handling a horse or between horses as they touch each other Riders should not allow their horses to touch any ungrounded metallic objects machine or fence Under a set of unfavourable conditions a horse could become electrocuted The mental pictures this litlle goodie aroused were wild Very few riders consider any electrical danger from high voltage wires so I investigated A reporter friend has been covering all the regional hydro meetings and asked a hydro representative about the warning and possible danger The answer he received was typical of what seems to be hydro s lack of concern for rural dwellers Apparently the hydro commission fed there s no danger to equestrians from any ground electrical field All the rider has do is place insulation under the saddle and he won be in danger my friend was told However no one said what could happen to horse Besides who goes around with insulation under his saddle If I were you fellow equestrians 1 d make sure to avoid all high voltage lines like the plague It would be awful to find out who was correct you may end up as a statistic in hydro battle monlhof July so
