Uncapped T-posts, barbed wire, stock fence.



What DO we have here?

Looks like stock fence with holes big enough for a hoof to pass through, topped with a strand of barbed wire to keep the horses from riding it down, and an uncapped T-post.

The trifecta of unsafe horse fencing ... not to mention the nylon halters left on which may not break if the horse gets caught up on something.

No, there is no 100% safe horse fence ... but that is no excuse to use a combination of the most well known unsafe options available.

If removing the existing fence is not possible for whatever reason, consider installing an electric tape fence 2-3' inside the existing fence to keep the horses from coming in contact with the unsafe fence.
