Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best electric fencing for horses?
High-quality and durable electric fencing solutions are the best for horses. At Starkline, we offer high-visibility, safe, and easy-to-maintain fencing solutions. They prevent injuries to horses and ensure they are secure.
How high should electric horse fencing be?
Ideally, electric horse fencing should be between 4.5 and 5 feet high. However, taller horses or jumpers may require fencing up to 6 feet. The fence should include multiple strands or tape lines to improve visibility and safely discourage horses from leaning on or attempting to jump over it.
Is electric horse netting safe for horses?
Electric horse netting can be safe when properly installed and specifically designed for horses. It works best for temporary grazing areas. However, horses may become tangled if the netting is loose or poorly maintained. Hence, many horse owners prefer visible electric tape fencing, such as poly tape, for greater long-term safety.
What energizer do I need for electric horse fencing?
The type of energizer you need will depend on the fence length, vegetation, and number of wires. Most horse fences require an energizer producing 2,000 to 5,000 volts to be effective. Small paddocks may only need 1–2 joules, while larger pastures often require 5 joules or more for reliable performance.
