Star Post and Wire Fencing

Star post and wire fencing is widely recognized as one of the most economical options for equine containment. To ensure the safety and comfort of your horses, it is crucial to incorporate electric stand-offs that prevent them from leaning against the fence. This not only discourages unwanted behaviours such as chewing or pushing on the fence but also minimizes the risk of injury.

With proper installation and maintenance, star post and wire fencing can provide a durable and secure environment for your horses while remaining budget-friendly.

Solar/Electric Horse Fencing

Electric fencing can be installed on any existing fence, including timber post and rail, steel fencing, or star post and wire. When installed correctly, electric fencing provides a barrier that prevents horses from leaning over and chewing on the fence.

Electric fences can be connected directly to the mains power of your property or can be powered by a solar panel.

Traditional Timber fencing is the most commonly used type of fencing for horses. It’s aesthetically pleasing, sturdy and is a strong visual barrier for horses to see. However, it does require regular maintenance to prevent rot and breakage.

The optimal height for a horse fence depends on several factors, including the size and type of horses and the fence's purpose. Generally between 1350-1400 to the top rail is the standard height, this would change if the purpose of the fence was to contain larger breeds of horses or if you were doing specific fencing like a foaling yard.

Hardwood rails and treated pine posts, particularly if there is heavy termite activity on the property, this combination of timbers work the best. 

The number of rails for a horse fence is a personal choice and should be based on the animals you are containing and your overall budget to complete the project. The most commonly used post and rail fence would be a 3-post and rail fence with fine mesh for a boundary fence to limit unwanted animals entering horse pastures, however, internal fences could be just a single top timber rail with strained wire and electric stand-offs.
