Horsey folk generally don't like barb wire- it rips their coats to shreds. IMO barb wire is pretty overrated stuff and farmers use it mainly becAuse they think they should. I have seen cows push straight through a barb wire fence snapping the wire in the process. It doesn't stop them pushing on the fence. I have succefully put up 1000s meters of stock netting with plain wire on top and it contains all sorts of livestock just as well without the danger it poses to them(and deer for that matter) I hate barb wire!

 

 

Well put Matt, nasty stuff!

The horse owners are happy with a strand or two of barbed. They think it'll stop the horses from leaning over and eating my fruit trees. Hopefully!

 

 

The only thing that will definitely do that is electric.

I doubt they will be happy if they have to pay for the vet to stitch the nag up!
