[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 217092, member: 852"] I've actually heard tell that while wood fencing is probably the best for horses, barbed wire is not the worst. Barbs will rip a horse open, yes, but [i][u]smooth[/u][/i] wire wrapped around a leg will cut to the bone as there's no barbs to stop it from sliding and sawing through flesh and tendons. And that mesh fencing? Also not good. A horse can make a playful paw at the horses in the neighboring pasture, get a hoof caught, and at best come away less one shoe. At worst pull a tendon and be out-of-commission (sp?) for a year... or permanently. [/QUOTE]
