The board is almost twisted off. When if falls the nails will be exposed to the curious horse. Note the debris in the feed trough.
This fence has several dangerous issues
A full wire mesh gate prevents a hoof from getting through. Note the perimeter fence separate from the paddocks in case a horse escapes it won't get to the highway on the other side of the pines.
This yellow plstic device stands the electric wire off od the metal post. This wire helps the horse respect the otherwise unsafe metal stakes and large box woven metal wire.
This post cap acts as an insulator for the electric wire and also protects the horse in case they rear and come down on top of the post.
Rubber fencing with exposed edges, but no nylon threads seen (burned off?). Exposed wire and insulators.
Rubber fencing with exposed edges, but no nylon threads seen (burned off?). Exposed rusty wire.
Rubber fencing with exposed edges, but no nylon threads seen (burned off?).
Paddocks with safety lane between them. Fence posts face away from turn out area.
The horse in a field of behaia grass. The field is large with no other horses so the 3 wire fencing with bare metal posts has not caused a problem.
Can you find the cat? Fencing is made of 2x4 pine boards. Plenty of shade in this farm outside of Miami. No pasture. Despite the looks, this farm always had clean water and food available. The biggest problem was boredom and poor sanitation and drainage.
A cat surveys his domain. x4 pine board fencing is all but gone as the bored horses chew through them. There is no pasture and sanitation and drainage is poor.
