Round Pen Hire?

[dianchi]

Is there such a thing? Am in need as my 18mth filly is on restricted turnout for a while and its space rather than time thats restricted!
Unfortunately she jumps out over little electric fencing and i wouldnt put it past her to take on taller posts either!

Any ideas/suggestions?

I'm not sure sorry but I do know that you can hire heras panels (the tall wire barriers that go round building sites) from hire shops and also can buy new and used ones off ebay. They seem quite popular as round pen fencing

But they are not suitable to be used for horses although I agree popular. It is far too easy for them to put a hoof through the wire. I've seen it happen to a friends gelding when he was pawing to come in, made a right mess as the wire enclosed round his hoof and he couldn't pull his hoof out. He went MENTAL as you can imagine. The hole thing ended up collapsing as the joiners pulled apart and it lifted out of the feet with the horse's struggles.

Sorry but they just aren't sturdy enough.

Yeah im after a proper one, just had 6k vets fees this years would rather keep her in one piece!
Any ideas on actual ones then?

Narrow mesh Heras panels are ok for unshod horses but you could use a smaller thin mesh lining.


It may be cheaper to buy Heras panels and sell them on rather than renting - look on ebay.

There is a second hand Claydon turnout pen on eBay at the moment
