There is no 100% horse-safe fence.
Horses find inventive ways to harm themselves.
Even the most safety-obsessed stables where all bits of wire and horseshoe nails are picked up, and where all stall connections and feed bins have rounded corners, horses still get hurt.
One of the easiest ways to prevent common injuries is to provide the safest horse fencing available.
There are many options on the market today, but the biggest obstacle to safe horsekeeping is the existence of old, rusted, inadequate fence.

Barbed wire is UNSAFE for horses!

I don't care if you say your family has used it for hundreds of years and you've never had a horse get hurt, there's always a first time and it is preventable ... there is simply no excuse for using barbed wire to contain horses in the 21st century!
Can't give up your wire?

The horse owners' nightmare.
Worse case scenario.
Having a fencing failure, due to lack of electricity, poor visibility, downed fence, unlatched gate or any other reason.
A horse is a major liability in the roadway, and besides the obvious danger to the animal, humans could be and have been killed in vehicle/horse accidents.
Use safe, adequate fencing. Thank you.
Still on the fence?
Let's hear from you.
