Fencing for horses how far should the post be apart thanks

[mendiplogs]

No sheep netting , if horses stick a foot through they can't get it back out . Agree with top strand being electric rather than barb , trouble is when barb becomes slack can cause horrific injury .

 

Hi mate thanks for that any more help will be great 👍👍🐎🐎🐎thanks Jon ❤️❤️

Creosoted post and rail will stop them eating it or an Equine net 1.25m high with 50mm or 75mm vertical spacing and perhaps an electric on top.

HI BOB thanks for that mate jon

Post and rail depends on rail length, so normally 6ft.

Netting we normally do 3m. It's about 1.2m high.

Barbed wire a good idea but most customers think their horses are too delicate!

 

Hi all more pics would be great if you have any out there thanks Jon 👍❤️❤️👍👍👍

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

We use single strand wire rope and posts at 3M on undulating ground and 6M on good level land. Batteries last around 4 months before charging again. Use a Midge fencing unit. Some sites we doing conservation grazing with electric posts at 4m spacing.

Hi TL thanks for that mate just need a large leisure battery yes thanks John

Post & rail with net on the outside so no problems with feet and mains powered 6mm electric top rope. Unless you have cattle barbed wire is unnecessary. The inner is solar battery. More £'s will result in the next two rails being fitted. The net keeps all the smaller stock in and even the best jumping dog won't jump the electrified fence!

Hedge is then planted on the outside and will grow to form a good wind break.

This is a picture from a ground-work play-day. Fence is in the background.

 

In wet ground I have used 7' strainers for protecting other peoples gardens from hungry ponies.

 

The most important part of fencing is the posts themselves as cheap posts will not last for more than five years! You need a minimum guarantee of FIFTEEN YEARS! Preferably creasoted from Batsford Sawmills.
