Equine fencing
Paddocks, arenas, stabling and cross-country fences for equestrian properties across Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset.
Equine fencing isn't one product, it's a category of products, and the right one depends on the horse,
the discipline, the field, and how the property is used. We walk each property and talk it through before we quote.
Paddock fencing.
Post-and-rail in sawn oak or treated softwood, set to a depth that outlives the rail above. Three-rail or four-rail depending on stock and discipline. Capped where the timber is exposed to weather.
Wire spacing and gate sites set with the horse's eye line in mind, not the human's.
For boundary fields we often combine post-and-rail with stock-wire mesh inside, keeping horses in and small dogs, foxes and deer out.
Arena fencing
Dressage arenas, schooling arenas, jumping arenas.
The dimensions, fence height, kickboards and gate positions all change with the discipline.
We build to international standard sizing where required, and we'll work to your trainer's specification where you have one.
Pressure-treated softwood is the standard. Hardwood for show yards. Rounded corner posts for safety, every time.
How we work.
Every job starts with a site visit. We walk the boundary with you, measure the levels, talk through what the fence has to do, privacy, security, visual continuity, livestock control, and what it has to look like.
We send a written quotation within 48 hours.
Once you've signed off, we book a date and arrive on it.
Our crews work two-to-a-job for most domestic installs.
We turn up in tracked machinery on sensitive ground,
so we don't leave the lawn in worse condition than we found it.
Where the safety lives.
Equine fencing safety is in the detail. Rounded corner posts.
No protruding fixings. Rail spacing set so a hoof can't trap.
Gate latches at horse-mouth height, not horse-leg height.
If you've had a horse injure itself on previous fencing, we'll walk the property with you and tell you
where the risks still are, whether or not you choose to work with us.
