Stock fence with openings large enough for a hoof to go through is not safe for horses.
Top it with barbed wire (common practice to keep cattle from "riding" the fence down) and we've got double the danger here.
A horse kicking at another horse in a neighboring pasture could get a leg stuck in the fence. (Been there, seen it happen.)
A panicked horse attempting to jump a barbed wire fence and not quite clearing the top wire could result in worse than a big vet bill.
