Different types of horse fencing
There are several options to secure your equestrian premises or keep your animals safe in their fields.
Post and rail fencing for horses
- An aesthetically pleasing horse fence, blends well into a rural landscape
- Safe and durable when well maintained
- Horses can sometimes damage post and rail fencing by chewing, leaning or repetitive use as a scratching post! A string of electric fencing along the top rail can overcome this problem.
Metal chain mesh fencing
- A cost-effective option for a paddock fence, using timber posts and timber top-rail with chain mesh below
- Ensure chain mesh is heavily galvanised to prevent rusting
- Choose smaller mesh spaces to prevent injury from horses getting their hooves trapped
Post and wire fencing
- A cheaper equine fencing alternative, using timber posts and multiple strands of high tensile wire
- Can be combined with mesh wire below
- Effective as long as the wire remains very taut
- More easily weakened than timber when animals lean against it
- Potential to cause injury or allow horses to escape when the fence is damaged
Electric fencing
- Very useful as temporary fencing for your horses, electric fencing is a portable means to divide large paddocks for strip-grazing, or even as a boundary fence for a paddock
- Cost-effective
- Not suitable for roadside boundaries
- Electric fencing posts aren't as resilient to high winds as timber
