Although there is no such thing as “fail-safe” fencing there are steps that can be taken to ensure that horses and livestock stay safely inside pasture fencing.
Consider the visibility of the fencing from the perspective of your livestock. Your horse needs to see his fencing. Otherwise injuries may occur if a horse tries to access the pasture or breeding opportunity on the other side of the fence. For example, wire fences are not so easily seen by a horse, but white wood or PVC fences are easily recognized. In addition, colorful streamer tape or ribbon attached to the farm fence also allows a horse to more easily recognize the fence perimeter.
The height of your farm fence is also important. The fencing must be tall enough to prevent the horse from jumping over it, while also having a horizontal bottom wire or board that is low enough to prevent livestock from going under. How high should horse fencing stand? It should be as tall as the nose on the tallest horse in the pasture plus two inches.
There are many types of horse fencing from which to choose for your farm installation. The more popular and successful types of horse fencing include white painted wood, electrified wire, and PVC fences. However, no matter what type of farm fencing is used, it is of utmost farm protection to always remember to regularly check all your farm fences, especially after a big storm. Make sure that no rails or wires are down through which a horse might escape.
