You’ve heard Helena talk about how important fencing is for the safety of our horses, as well as for helping to keep our sanity in tact. We keep our horses in human environments; thankfully, new research is helping us design those environments to better suit our horses’ needs. But, even as our farms evolve, one feature will remain the same no matter what–perimeter fencing. Whatever happens inside the boundaries of your property depends on a your unique setup. The key to safety and sanity is keeping the horses INSIDE those boundaries. In this episode, Helena discusses the pros and cons of the most common fence materials used to enclose a property’s perimeter. Listen in!
