Temporary Horse Fencing

When traveling with your horse, consider setting up a temporary fencing system at your rest stop. In a wide field, the horse will be able to stretch her legs and feel refreshed. Consider purchasing temporary horse fencing; it's reasonably priced and equipped with features that make containing your horse on the go convenient and effective. There are several options available for temporary horse fencing.

Although wood posts have been used for centuries, polypropylene posts are lightweight and more ideally suited for travel. Some posts are equipped with electrical insulation for your electrical fence system. These posts are easily secured to the ground by a spike that is driven through the ground.

Electricity is a key element to many types of temporary fencing. Because the fencing structure is not necessarily very strong, the electricity becomes an additional barrier between the horse and the open field. There are several options available for electrical fencing. Horse owners can choose poly wire, steel wire, poly tape or poly equine rope. These are used with an electrical charger that is either solar operated or battery operated.

A temporary horse fencing option is the FAST FENCE Trail Kit. The kit makes an instant horse corral when one is needed on demand. The FAST FENCE Trail Kit can be assembled in 30 minutes and includes everything needed to set up the temporary fence--even its own portable fence charger and carrying bag for the trail.

The HorseGuard Bi-Polar Fence is a fencing option for temporary and permanent solutions. This fencing system is a visual and physical barrier that will prevent the horse from getting loose. It's simple to set up, and it gives an electrical shock to those who attempt to breach the fence. The HorseGuard Bi-Polar Fence also comes equipped with its own solar charger that charges best in the southern direction.

There are two types of temporary paddock fencing: electric, which was previously discussed, and portable panels. Portable panels are an assembly of panels and fasteners to connect the panels. The panels don't require assembly and come in a variety of materials, such as aluminum and vinyl. Some of the advantages of portable panel fencing is that it doesn't require posts and is very sturdy and durable. The portable panels also allow for easy expansion, just by inserting more panels. They are, however, pricier than temporary electrical fencing.
