How Tall Should My Horse Fence Be?

Most horse owners position their top rail at wither height, which typically ranges between 52"-54" tall. This will give you a fence the proper height for owning taller horses.

​

RAMM Tip: Utilizing an electric fence for your top rail will help to prevent any would-be jumpers from exiting your fence system and possible injury. RAMM has four exclusive electric horse fence solutions to choose from:

• Shockline Flex Fence Electric Coated Wire – Shockline Flex Fence electric coated wire has 1,400 pounds of break strength per rail and is the strongest electric fence RAMM carries! This affordable, Class-3 12.5-gauge high-tensile wire fencing features RAMM's exclusive polyethylene coating for added safety & visibility, along with 3 conductive purified carbon strips to conduct electricity more efficiently than other types of fencing conductors. Shockline is a much safer alternative than traditional fencing; the thick, protective polymer coating allowing the rail to ‘roll’ and flex up to 6"-8" on impact.
  
  
• Pro-Tek 1.5" Electric Tape – RAMM's Pro-Tek 1.5" electric tape is made up of 15 stainless steel wires, woven with polyethylene fibers. The stainless steel wires won’t oxidize, corrode, or turn green over time like copper.
