Frequently asked questions

What type of fencing is safest for horses in Hickstead?
The safest fencing options for horses are post and rail (timber), electric fencing, and high-tensile polymer rail. Post and rail is the traditional choice and is highly visible to horses, reducing the risk of collision. Electric fencing is effective as a temporary or secondary boundary. Barbed wire should be avoided as it causes serious injuries. The best option depends on your land, budget, and horses' behaviour — local fencing contractors on The Digital Yard can advise on what works best in your area.
How much does equine fencing cost per metre in Hickstead?
Fencing costs in Hickstead vary depending on the type and specification. Softwood post and rail fencing typically costs between £15 and £35 per metre installed, while hardwood or treated timber is at the higher end. Electric fence systems are more affordable to install but require ongoing maintenance. Get quotes from equine fencing specialists listed on The Digital Yard for accurate pricing based on your land.
How high should horse paddock fencing be?
Paddock fencing for horses should be at least 1.2 metres (4 feet) high, and 1.5 metres (5 feet) for stallions or particularly active horses. The bottom rail should be high enough to prevent a horse catching a hoof underneath. Fence height and rail spacing should be chosen based on your horses' size and behaviour.
How long does equine fencing last?
Treated softwood post and rail fencing typically lasts 15 to 25 years with good maintenance. Hardwood fencing can last considerably longer. Posts are usually the first component to fail, particularly at ground level. Regular inspection and prompt repair of damaged sections will extend the life of your fencing significantly.
