I'm afraid the same thing would happen with Luna, someone would 
ride by on your road and out she'd go.  Pyrs are smart enough to 
not come back through and suffer a second shock.  Down here the 
cheapest fencing is horse wire, that does come  6' and railroad ties 
for posts.  Why not  just fence an adequate area near the house to 
keep Luna contained and safe?
