Equine Electric Fencing for horses

A mobile fence is ideal to provide a temporary, easy-to-move paddock. It’s also perfect for subdividing large fields.

SmartFence is the ideal mobile or temporary fence for horses. The SmartFence is an all-in-one system of posts, reels and wires.  It can be assembled and dismantled within five minutes. It’s easy to carry and store 

The SmartFence consists of four wires and 10 posts, and is 100 metres long. The barrier can be erected in any required line, as the posts can be positioned anywhere, and the wires are adjustable in height. It’s also possible to connect multiple SmartFences. Combined with a Gallagher fence energizer connected to the SmartFence, your animals will remain safe

2) Gallagher Turbo EquiBraid fencing for horses

Do you want to divide your field into multiple areas for controlled grazing? Or do you have a rented field you want to fence off temporarily in a safe, but effective, way? We recommend Gallagher Equibraid for a perfect semi-permanent fence. Gallagher Equibraid is a strong electric cord, which is quick and easy to fit. It has a low breaking strength, minimising the risk of injury. Should the animal try to break out, the cord will break relatively easily. Yet, because of its twined woven structure, it will last a long time. It won’t stretch, and will last 30% longer than traditional cord. It also has 400% better conductivity than regular cord.

Did you know that the first Gallagher tape fence fitted is still standing 25 years later? Our advice

• The tape breaks relatively easily in case of a breakthrough, which minimises the risk of injuries.

  5) Offsets On Permanent Existing Stock Fencing, Utilizing Galvanised Wire, EquiFence, or Equibraid

Do you have a non-electric wood, mesh, or barb wire fence you want to fit with an electric wire? Whether you have a wooden or mesh fence, if a solution is required it would be possible to create an extra electric fencing barrier on livestock fencing that is already in place. Offset insulators would be attached to the wooden posts and galvanized wire would be passed through them - this is then electrified by an energizer (either mains or battery)
