How many strands?

HorseGuard recommends at least 2 strands in most fencing applications to provide a safe visual and physical barrier for the horse. In an area vulnerable to weeds, the bottom tape should be a minimum of 22 inches off the ground.

3 Strands and more

3 strands of tape is very popular and has a more traditional appearance. 4 strands might be necessary for delicate situations, like an excitable stallion, a busy road, deer, alpaca, ect... But remember never to set the tape too low.

Stallions

While many stallions respect a 2 strands HorseGuard Fence, 3 strands provides an extra measure of safety. The ideal tape height in this situation would be 28", 44" and 60".

Young Horses

One strand does not work to enclose young horses or ponies.
To be on the safe side. 3 strands fencing is better for young horses. 52", 36" and 28"

Ponies

Many ponies are persistent and will escape if the shock of your fence charger is not strong enough.
3 strand is a good solution. 48", 32" and 16"
