Welded wire fence.



This type of fence can make great horse fence, BUT it must be tall enough AND must be topped with an electric wire, or better, a wood plank, to prevent horses from "riding it down" as you can see has happened here.

The openings in the fence are small enough that hooves cannot fit through. This fence is typically used for chicken runs, goats and smaller livestock, so make sure the height of the fence is adequate.

The other problem you will run into with this type of fence used for horses, is securing the bottom of the fence to prevent horses from reaching under it, WITHOUT creating a dangerous possibility of hoof entrapment.
