There is a variety of fencing material available on the market. Materials such as wire and mesh less than 1 1/2” wide are very difficult for the horse to see. This makes them less reliable as a visual barrier. As a physical barrier many of the options can be quite dangerous to the horse.
Some fencing offers the horse the opportunity to develop bad habits such as chewing or wind sucking.
