What makes horse fence safe?

I'm going to share a site whose author backs up pretty much everything I've been saying.

Here's a few tips I found at Five Star Ranch about good horse fence:
  • Safe horse fencing "gives" upon impact
  • Good horse fence is highly visible
  • Good horse fence doesn't [ensnare] a horse
  • Barbed wire is NOT horse fence
  • Rounded corners make safer pastures
  • Check your fences regularly
There is also a page with the pros and cons of many fence types I've covered here.

See, it's not just me!

I'm sure it goes without saying that sharp edges and loose wires should never be a par of any horse fence.
