What type of fencing do you feel works best?

What do you think is the safest and best horse fencing?|||The safest I find is post and rail, because it has been built specifically for horses - is strong and if kept well maintained, horses will find it very difficult to escape or injure themselves on it. It also is quite an attractive fencing. Especially with hedging around it.


Stone walls are pretty good aswell, and the plus side is they can act as shelters - the trouble is they are pretty expensive to build just for a field.


Electric fencing on it's own is no a safe form of fencing, the battery can go out when you're not there - and horse's ears are sensitive enough to know when it isn't switched on: cue an escape. Or if anyone's horses are like mine, they'll just barge it or jump over it - if the electric fencing was kept on it's own, that would spell horses on the road.|||i like the poly wire or the thick plasticy poly wire not sure the correct name but it's amazing it stretches and holds up too 1000lbs before breaking so its very horse safe, and you can get it in electric





my fence is electric on top and on the middle





but all the wires are white and look the same so the horses can't tell which one is electric and which one is normal so they just stay away from the fence as best as possible!!





one time my pony did get caught in the fence (before we had the electric wire up) and his foot got caught in the wire i un-tangles him with no scratches





my neighbors have barbed wire and my horse got caught up in it and had scars all over his legs








anyways it's the nicest for the price





i would never do iron or metal moles because horses can get legs caught and break legs and ankles and just becomes a big mess





this poly wire has a lot of give and bend to is a foot goes through the fence the foot can come right back in with ease|||well i really like wooden fences but they can be hard to keep up, i also like electric if you get the thicker white kind. My horse used to run through electric fences but then once there was the elctric fence and wooden he doesn't anymore. even if yu have a wooden fence you should have electric tape with it just because if they really wanted to they could just run through the wood.


hope i helped!|||I don't have my own farm, but when I do, I'm getting equisafe fencing. Its farily new, but it looks amazing. Its pretty much indestructable, UV resistant, can withstand huge temp. changes, you can electrify it if you want, and it comes in different colors. Plus it looks absolutely beautiful! www.equisafe.com|||Although I myself have never used this fencing, i have seen it used by some pretty fancy barns, and it works really well. What they have is some wooden posts and a metal plasticy strip replacing what would usually be wood. It's safe, and won't hurt the horse.





:3|||The safest would probably be post and rail fencing, but that can be expensive. I would go with electric fencing it's safe and cheaper. Hope this helped! Happy fencing =D|||iron although i don't own hourses iron will last the longest and willl be very durible.
