Traditional Rural Fencing

Horse Fencing Examples

Fencing is an critical element in horsekeeping. Fences need to keep horses safe and secure, confine them to certain areas, and give them the opportunity to exercise, graze, and socialize. Fencing styles that work for a cows, goats, or sheep, may be dangerous to a horse.   A safe horse fence is strong, highly visible, durable, and free of hazards. Ideally, a fence should appear as a solid barrier so the horse will be less likely to challenge it or run into it. If a horse does run into the fence, the fence should not cause injury.
