Our new property is not quite ready for horses yet, but we are eager to get our fencing up to par. We will be adopting untamed BLM mustangs next time they roll through Florida. Does anyone have experience with holding wild horses in?
We have 3 and a half acres to secure.
Current fence is 4' 3 board on the front of the property. Unfortunately the boards are nailed to the outside of the posts, so we aren't sure if this is a total redo, or if we can just put no-climb on the inside and call it a day.
One side of the property is already 4' 2"x4" nonclimb, but that neighbor has not been maintaining the fence and it needs repair.
The other side of the property is hideous chain link. It is also partially cross-fenced with this atrocity. It has to go.
The back of the property is barbed wire. It's not on my side of the property line, so I need to place my fence in front of it.
I know we need a six foot fence to hold them at first, so we will be building 6' tall paddocks, but when they are ready for the pasture I assume 4 feet is adequate?
