Not Everyone Loves This Horse Fence Like I Do

[@jimmyyounger618]

My 5 horse herd is so trained to a single strand of the white rope-type poly wire that I can use a single strand of it as a temporary gate. It doesn't even have to be hot. They see it and they're unwilling to test it. We can also rotate them through pastures using T-post corners and step-in posts with a single strand hung at waist level. As for the whole property perimeter fence, thank God for steel H-braces and T-posts. I put in a cross fence for cattle and included pressure treated wood posts every 20' to give the high tensile fence some rigidity for cows that like to push their head through to graze the other side. It wasn't 10 years before some of those pressure treated posts began to rot and break off.

Finally, a video with some of the wind you talk about. And, I just found my new fence.

[@khanhhoangngoc7865]

very good, and very meaningful, thank you for your dedication and sharing with the community, I really appreciate it, hope that the next generation will be very grateful to you!

White could become invisible with snow covered ground.

I’m digging the Sanford and Son theme music😅

So I have old field fence on T posts with barb wire on top once used for cattle; can I just remove barb and use this on top? Is that enough for the horses to "see"? They could likely bust through some of the old field fence sections..... Trying to figure out a compromise besides rebuilding it all.

[@SWiFence]

They do have adapters for t-posts. You're gonna want several strands though. And you're still gonna want to use in conjunction with the electrified.

I have a Pinch Bar. I use it for digging holes. I had my neighboar weld 6" marks.

[@weatheredvineyards9524]

How well do you think it would work for deer fencing. Might be very useful for a 3d double deer fence. Hate that my vineyard has to look like a WW2 pow camp.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Mark, Mark, Mark! You’ve done gone and started my cranial juices flowing. You know, us Ozark farm boys have tons of twisted polypropylene rope laying around. Every bale of hay sheds hundreds of feet of it. It can become a nuisance. Iffen you don’t gather it up, your brush hog will find it… and you will spend half yer day on yer belly trying to hack it offen the blades of yer stump jumper. Or, it’ll get buried in the manure and make it darned near impossible to fertilize yer garden. But, iffen a feller was wanting to use it to build a fence… he might be just a tad bit more motor-vated to gather it up before it causes a problem. Thanks fer getting me to thinking! Now all I need to do is to come up with some way of tying all those little short pieces together after I cut them offen the bale. Do you recommend a bowline or a granny knot?

[@SWiFence]

I mean if you're going that route anyway, probably just a dab of superglue between each piece. 😄

[@psidvicious]

How does it compare in price to wire? Longevity?

[@l0I0I0I0]

Does it work with cows or bison?

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Horses make great dogs.

[@SlackerU]

*food for dogs.

[@extravirginoliveoil266]

This fence just killed my sister yearling. His hoof got tangled and had serious lacerations. They need to think about some kind of break always for lower lines. Got tangled in line 1.5 feet off ground. She thought she was buying a safe fence and it killed her horse. Now she’s devastated to lose such a companion.

I wonder if the gentleman that likes to use pipe has seen the plastic posts out of New Zealand ? They claim they will last 100 years and are Made from 100% reclaimed plastic. They are black in color and very sharp to look at. I’m in the process of building a 20 acre pasture for my rescue horses and I am now leaning towards using Cameo. If I can buy enough posts to have them ship from New Zealand I’d like to use the plastic as well. I’m a small rescue and non profit. I struggle at times just to feed everyone and the quote I got on four strands of electric was close to 40k. So I’m really trying to find a way to save some money. I’ve already got 50 k in the stump digging and getting a good stand of grass going. Great video gentlemen. I believe the company is called Futureposts in. New Zealand. I was really impressed with what I saw.

[@oliverkoehn6074]

Have this fence on my place. Horses push through it. Every wire needs electrified otherwise they put their heads in lower on the fence, push through until their shoulders hit the electric wire, get zapped then jump the rest of the way through

[@mattiasortendahl4431]

Almost catch that coyote😮 Sweet🤠👍

[@andys5562]

Similar to Finishline fencing. I wonder if it's as good though.

[@gabemoore8119]

$100 worth of tools. Proceeds to bust out the tracked post pounder....

[@roadrunner197069]

Maybe it was supposed to be $100 per post, lol.

[@SWiFence]

If I've got it--I'm gonna use it. 😁

[@Tillersweep]

Lets see you use that Bryce 180 in New England! Now THAT would be a video.

[@453LOCKDOWN]

😂

[@donalddiedrick529]

Dose it break when a deer runs in to it ?

[@trackrockfencing4375]

Hey! I know clayton, I buy a lot a material from him in my local area

[@SWiFence]

He's a great guy!

[@trackrockfencing4375]

@SWiFence yes he is. His whole team is great as well. Craig, kurtis, and Cory

[@scottmichaels12]

It initially seemed like a good idea until Mark almost got himself tangled up in it. I can only imagine how bad a horse could get entangled in this type of fence with their four long skinny legs. Couple that with the fence being electrified and the horse might die of a heart attack before it gets free.

[@MegF142857]

That isn't the safest fencing for horses! Seems could lead to an entanglement, particularly for a horse with shoes. I like the bright white (except if snow situation) for visibility, but will pass on that for my horses. Better than rusty barbed wire though.

[@snacktimer]

I wonder about leg entanglement?

[@hoofgirl31]

my mom's colt degloved his back leg on this type of fencing (not this brand), it had too much stretch and wrapped around. they will always find a way, there's no fool proof horse fence.. the stretch in this is a bit scary when he's pulling the top to the grass so easily! just more room to get tangled IMO

[@snacktimer]

@@hoofgirl31 oof poor thing. How awful

[@rlawrence2]

Why was the top one (and another) multi strand rope and on insulators and the others were threw the post?

[@SWiFence]

The multi-strand is electrified.

[@collinsmith9941]

I was thinking story pole at the same time you said it

[@ProSamy333]

Does that trick with the drill at 7:45 actually work? I've heard people say it doesn't.

[@miketimmer4]

Chuck manufacturing companies have said this is false,.

[@timcartwright4679]

Looks nice, but our horses would walk right through that. It wouldn't even slow them down.

[@SlackerU]

Everyone says the animals must be trained to run the opposite direction of the lines or they will just randomly pick a direction to evade the danger.

[@ChadBray]

Someone on the crew should’ve secretly electrified that fence.

[@SWiFence]

Hey hey! Don't be giving ideas like that. 😄

[@Bremmer2023]

It looks like an entanglement fence. No climb horse fence is a better option.

[@roadrunner197069]

I was about to mention a story pole, and then you mentioned it. That tape measure on every pole would drive me nuts.

[@SWiFence]

Me too 😄

[@psidvicious]

Laser one row and story pole the rest.

[@SlackerU]

I like it. Though I'm near a city so we can only have electric fencing if it is behind or above a 6ft fence & it must be on a DC energizer, AC energizers are banned.

[@paulorodrigues8879]

Mark needs to be humbled a little bit. Good information.

[@SWiFence]

Ok....

[@jimmydcricket5893]

Horses stuck in a fence is a bad sound, nothing the good old pliers couldn't fix.

[@-S-K-Miller]

$100 in tools... $100,000 in post pounding equipment... ...eh, everyone's got that lay'n 'round...

[@SWiFence]

If I've got it, I'm gonna use it! 😁 Lots of folks manage to build farm fence without them, of course.

[@reedjensen4355]

2 strands of rusty barbed wire around here!🤣🤣

[@BuckHart-oj8gt]

Just another gimmick for wealthy equestrians to waste their money on.

[@SlackerU]

There are a few horse farms near me that take the animals to Mexico to be processed for meat. I agree it's odd that the pretty ones get police duty, race life, or jump sticks.
