    Don’t Horse Around: Considerations for Pasture Fencing

    By johncash | Homesteading | 0 comment | 24 September, 2019 | 0

    Horses are majestic animals that require plenty of space to exercise and graze. Building the best fence for your horses allows them to have enough space to stretch their legs and comfortably rest. High-quality materials prolong the enjoyment of their peaceful corral as they explore their new stomping grounds. Here are three things to consider when buying a horse fence. 

    Space

    Horses need plenty of room to graze and frolic. Determining how much space you’ll need for your horses to comfortably roam or not, depending on what the purpose for the fence is, ensures that your horses will be safely and properly confined. Start by assessing how much land you want to devote to your horse’s new fence, remembering that a primary factor for building a good fence that’ll meet your needs is to consider how much land you have. Once you’ve planned how much space you want to use, carefully choose your materials. 

    Materials

    The materials you choose are as important as determining how much space you’ll need. By investing in high-quality fencing materials, you won’t have to deal with splitting or rotting wood or other negative things that come with using low-quality wood materials. Alternative fencing materials are also available that look like wood but are synthetically made and last considerably longer. Another option is mesh fences, which are great since they bend not break, however, you’ll want to get a woven mesh that’s galvanized. The most important thing to remember when buying a horse fence is to buy great materials that are going to last. The extra money it may cost is well worth it in the long run. 

    Cost

    Working out a budget for how much you want to spend on a horse fence helps you figure out how much space you’ll be able to utilize and what kind of materials you’ll want to purchase. The best materials may cost a little more upfront, but the money they’ll save you on future repairs and replacements outweighs their additional expense. Installation and shipping on a variety of fences can be relatively inexpensive and can save you money, allowing you to purchase better materials. 

    Buying a high-quality fence for your horses is a wonderful investment for their safety and comfort and your peace of mind. Your horses will appreciate you for providing them with all the room they’ll need to gallop and graze at their leisure.
