What To Look For In A Fence

How many animals and the the type will really determine how strong your fence needs to be. An area designed to contain a stallion may require for rails with eight food post spacing while one for mares may require three rails with twelve foot post spacing. Reinforced flexible fencing is one of the strongest fences available. 

While a stronger fence can also be safer, you need to know how the fence material reacts when subjected to significant impact. Braided rope can break easily, tangling the horse's legs and causing panic. Wood and rigid PVC fencing will break and splinter. Woven wire contains spaces that can trap a horses hoof, especially a foal. Safety-coated high tensile wire and reinforced flexible rail fencing will rebound on impact, almost completely eliminating the chance of serious injury. 

Budget drives many decisions when it comes to fencing projects. Safety-coated high tensile wire is an inexpensive choice and requires little in long-term maintenance. Centaur fencing is comparable in cost to wood fencing, without the long-term maintenance and repair costs
