Wood Fencing

Wood fences are the classic look for a horse farm, but they have advantages and disadvantages. When properly maintained, they can last for years, especially in a dry climate (wet climates require periodic application of preservatives).

Maintenance is the key - check regularly for nails, splinters, cracks, loose boards, and other hazards. An electric wire along the top and just inside the fence line keeps cribbers and chewers away.
