Safe
Obviously, when choosing any equine fencing product, the safety of your horse is a primary concern. With Equi-Safe® horse fence—both posts and rails—are round in shape therefore minimizing the chance of injury to your animal on sharp edges. Our fence will yield upon extreme impact rather then crack or shatter. The 3” rail diameter and 5.5” post diameter provide excellent visibility for your horse as well. Whether you’re interested in an electric horse fence now or in the future, our fences come complete with a stainless steel wire conductor spirally embedded in the surface of the rails eliminating tangles, abrasions or scratches, unlike other add-on electrical fence systems. Because of this symmetrical design, there is no tension on the wire, unlike single strand systems that must use heavier, stronger, and more dangerous wire. And, because all the electrical connections are made within the post, there are no exposed connections, insulators, or loose wires to get tangled in. On contact, the electric current gives a quick snap and the horse quickly learns that the fence sets the boundaries.
"I am confident this is the safest and most attractive fence on the market, no wire or tape to get tangled up in. But most importantly, safety for the horses. I have seen some of my colts kick the rails so hard that my heart stopped, then trot off, sound like always. Let's not forget about the colt who got scared from a hunter and ran through two fence lines and walked away without a scratch."
