porary fence and for keeping horses away from trees.
E: 6′ METAL PANELS
It is hard to beat sturdy metal panels for fencing small areas such as runs that need to
withstand a lot of horse contact.

Continuous pipe fence on treated posts with an electric fence wire on top makes a very
secure perimeter fence that a horse will not go through or lean over.
