Fencing for horses is a crucial concern for all horse owners, however paying attention to the entire paddock/yard areas and installing horse safe paddock gates sometimes seems to be forgotten.
Horses tend to get into precarious situations, so our primary objective is to provide them with a secure environment. However, we often overlook potential hazards like paddock gates and day yard gates, which can be life-threatening for horses. Only when we witness a horse's foot getting stuck in a gate panel do we realize the dangers it poses and the importance of having horse-safe paddock gates.
When horses are waiting for their dinner, they may paw at the gate in impatience or sometimes, during wet periods, they may accidentally slip and slide into the gate. Unfortunately, some standard large mesh farm gates have mesh holes that are big enough for a horse's foot to fit through. This can be catastrophic for the horse as it may get stuck and suffer severe injuries.
As a part of horse safe fencing, a fencing contractor should be able to provide the entire solution for rural horse properties, instead of just installing the usual farm gate that you can pick up from most Ag stores, why not ask us what other Horse Safe Paddock Gates they are able to provide.
