If horse or livestock safety is your concern, we have a solution. Good fences can be formal or informal in appearance, yet all should be well built and carefully planned. A fence should keep horses and livestock on the property and keep away nuisances.

Often, more than one kind of fence is used at a facility. Different fences might be installed for grazing pastures, exercise paddocks, riding areas, or for securing property lines.

Fences can aid in facility management and help reduce costs over time. For example:

• A good fence plan can save money on hay, by allowing pasture rotation.
• Proper planning allows controlled grazing and segregating groups of horses.
• Different horse groups - stallions, weanlings, mares, mares with foals, and geldings all have different fencing requirements.
• Pasture use may range from exercise paddocks to grazing or hay production.
• Paddock layout should allow for ease of management, including movement of horses, removal of manure, and care of the footing surface.
• Pasture design should allow equipment, such as mowers, manure spreaders, and baling equipment, to enter and maneuver easily.
