Here’s a great story for you! In 1938, New Zealander Bill Gallagher Senior found himself compelled to invent the electric fence. The catalyst for this innovation was his horse, Joe, who had a peculiar habit for using the family car as a scratching post. Displaying his ingenuity, Bill devised an electrical circuit that emitted a subtle electric pulse whenever Joe engaged in his vehicle scratching. The solution proved highly effective, giving rise to the concept of the world's inaugural electric fence system!
