The last thing any horse owner wants is a loose animal. Unfortunately, however, some horses are experts at breaching the fence around their pasture or paddock, and there are no foolproof fencing options. Every horse owner has a preference, but it is important to consider all of the options before choosing one.
Wood Fencing
The first of the fencing options for horses is wood fences, which are ideal for a pasture or paddock that is close to the road. These fences are more attractive than most other options because they can be cut and painted to suit just about any specifications.
The problem with wood fences, however, is that they require significant maintenance. They break, rot, crack and peel depending on the sealants and paint used. Most horse owners will need to scout every inch of fencing at least every three months to check for problems.
