horse fence

Stable yard perimeter

A horse fence is fencing designed to safely contain horses, typically taller and more visible than cattle fencing since horses are prone to running into barriers they don't see.

Common types include wooden post-and-rail, vinyl board, and electric tape fencing.

The term also refers to a specific style of rustic split-rail fence: We lined the property with horse fence.
