An empty pasture, but within minutes...
This fence is designed to be put up extremely fast.
Bryan Pulliam starts roping it in.
Here I can take a half acre kit in a golf bag and carry it out and set up a half acre," Pulliam said.
Tuesday morning, Pulliam got a call to do just that out West. Horse rescuers in California are flying him out to help pen thousands of horses saved from the wildfires.
"All the Wal-Mart parking lots are full of horses and they need help," Pulliam said.
In 1999, Pulliam invented the first portable fence system. He's sold his kits worldwide and knows it's what's needed in California.
"And it's done."
In three minutes, on soft or hard ground, he has a complete pen. And it's a hot fence, ready to put the horse in.
How crucial will that be in their rescue efforts?
"From what I understand, they're desperate," Pulliam said.
Pulliam will pack one of these systems to train rescuers. Fourteen more kits will be shipped out this week to continue their efforts.
"I can do acres while they are doing very small pins. It's going to make a tremendous difference to them," Pulliam said.
A difference rescuers in California hope comes down soon.
He'll fly out Wednesday morning and plans to spend two to three days in California training rescuers.
