HORSEGUARD The Original Electric Tape Fence System
SQUINT YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT THE PICTURE BELOW
TO GET AN IDEA OF A HORSE’S VISUAL PERCEPTION.
You will see only the two electric tapes,
not the terrible four strands of the barbed
wire fence. Horses can’t see small fencing material, making it more likely that a horse
will sustain injury.
A common injury is cuts around the lower leg from pawing, but far more serious injuries
also occur. Some will heal, some will cripple, and some will kill the horse.
This barbed wire fence has been made far safer by the addition
of two strands of HorseGuard 1.5 inch tape, increasing visibility and
thus keeping the horses away from the fence.
Just one strand of tape and extenders... to keep their distance
Many people
remove old fencing
and simply use existing
posts to attach
2 or 3 strands of
HorseGuard Tape.
There are fence situations where it would be more appropriate to provide a safe margin
for the horse along the fence by installing the tape a small distance away from the
existing fence. See our extenders page 14
