What is the type of fencing best for horses?

I just asked about a saddle rack, thanks to all who answered :D Also... what's the type of fencing best for horses? I've heard it was pipe fencing. Where can I get pipe fencing?|||pipe fencing, yeah.....



also...there's actual fencing called "horse fence" that's for horses...it's "no climb" which means, if the horse shoves against it or steps on it, he can't force it down (some horses will paw at wire fencing and down it goes and over the horse steps)....



It's also called "red line" fencing...because it's got a very strong upper red painted wire along the top.



I fenced 5 acres with it...for $4,000. It was a really great investment...because nothing can come into the pasture either. it's top to bottom. small squares. VERY strong. and T posts could be used, so that's an added bonus (T posts are pretty cheap).... I got the 8 ft high fencing.



that's another thing....you'll need at least 6 ft high...8 ft high is best. but not less than 6 ft high.



horses..when scared, can jump over anything less than 6 ft and get caught up in the fencing and get hurt.



yeah, some will try to jump 6 ft fencing if scared enough....but that's kind of rare.



Electric tape fencing is cheap....but it can also be a pain in the a$$.

If grass grows high enough to touch it or a tree branch is touching it....anything that constantly touches it....depending on the voltage....it can short out.



You have to check it every so often to be sure it's on and it's ok.



I wouldn't trust only electric fencing. It's just not 100% secure...compared to real fencing.



You can get cheaper wire fencing, then inside that you can get the electric fencing....|||I like combination fencing- I think electric tape is great, but it needs to be combined with either pipe or wood fencing. I suggest calling a fencing company to do it for you so you make sure it'll be strong %26amp; last a long time, and so you know there won't be any dangerous spots on the fence that the horse could get caught on.|||Post and rail fencing is best, especially for around your fields.


It's even better if you put a strand of electric wire on the top two rungs so they don't chew, rub or lean on the fences.





If you have post and rail around the outside of your fields and want to section them off, electric tape with wooden posts are best.|||My ideal fencing would be all wood or wood with mesh (and with the mesh it would only be the posts and the top beam).





All fencing poses risks to horses. We have pipe and wire fencing at our ranch. One of our weanlings ran head first into a post and broke his neck instantly on it. Definitely not fun. That's why I prefer the wood and mesh because if a horse runs into it, they'll just bounce right off.|||Good cheap fencing is hot tape and CAPPED t-posts. You can also put up coated wire with a hot wire or two, or a combo of both hot tape and hot wire.





You can do nice pretty wood fencing with a hot wire or two as well. Small square fencing with a hot wire along the top is also good.|||it depends on how much money you want to fork out. the best of the best I'm guessing would be endless "pipe" or panel fencing (the type where there is no latching except the gate) but if your going on a budget..maybe electric tape? Most horses will stay in with one to three tapes|||Electric fences and if you want to make them back into a tree a few times then make them back into the fence when it is on, then go back to the tree, do the fence one more time then give them some loving


That is Parelli style|||It would probably be pipe fencing





you can buy pipe fencing at this link: http://www.ranchpipefencing.com/Fence/index.htm|||all wood posts and 3 or 4 planks. we always set our posts 8 ft apart and alternate 8ft and 16 ft boards. this fence is visible to the horse, and makes your property look well kept.|||I like no-climb with a strand of electric on the top. Keeps creatures in and creatures out and it is safe for the horses.|||Pipe with no climb or Electric ribbon/rope
