Is there such a thing as fail-safe fencing and gates? Maybe someday! In the meantime, there are certain steps you should take to make sure your horse not only remains in his enclosure, but remains there safely.

Initially, consider visibility. Your horse must have the ability to see his fencing, in any other case accidents are imminent. Whereas your horse should not have any hassle seeing a wooden or PVC fence, wire fences pose extra of a problem. Colourful tape or ribbon tied to the fence every foot or so makes the horse aware of the fence.
