Horse Fence

Secure horse fence is essential for any paddock or ranch in order to keep horses safely contained, to prevent injury and avoid third party accidents. The fence also needs to prevent any domestic animals entering the paddock and contain any other animals that may be grazing with the horses such as sheep or goats.

Woven wire horse fencing provides a balance of safety and security. A mesh size of 2” by 4” helps to prevent horses from getting their hooves stuck in the fence and pulling off shoes on the lower strands.

A Torus stiff stay knot fence provides the strength required to contain such large, strong animals; the fixed vertical wires provide optimal strength, combined with the smooth and safe Torus knot which does not have any sharp edges. This helps to prevent manes, tails, or expensive rugs from getting caught in the fence and causing damage or injury.

Before embarking on a horse fence project it is important to consider your requirements. There are various different specifications of high tensile woven wire fencing. Depending on paddock size and whether the animals are stallions, youngstock or riding horses will influence the choice of horse fencing.

High tensile woven wire fencing does not require retightening and minimizes maintenance costs.
For horse fencing it can be useful to add in a line of electrified wire or a polymer-coated rail above the woven wire fence net, to prevent the horse from leaning on the top wire, cribbing on posts or rubbing on the fence.
