This message is from: "Jeanne M Zuker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Linda From: Jeanne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regarding: fencing
Linda, This is my first reply to the list, since I am such a new horse owner I usually just read and never reply, but I will go out on a limb here. For my horse Olaf and his pasture buddy Flicka, I decided on the equine mesh fencing using 8" wood posts on corners and highway type metal posts (painted white) every 8', I have made my own "toppers" out of the vinyl eave trough, which add a good sight line as well as making the fence have a more "finished" appearance. I used a 2" white tape for the sight line at the top of the fence. The horses have never challenged the fencing and the added bonus (especially with the winds we have had lately -- gusts up to 35 mph) the fence has helped to keep the hay inside the paddock/pasture so Olaf and Flicka don't see their groceries blowing outside the fence>:) My fencing is visible from the road so I wanted something that would keep the horses IN, look pretty good from the road, but mostly keep my "kids" safe. Just another idea. Jeanne in Michigan Temp at 3 degrees
