Fencing

[Juneir@aol.com]

I have a place in Auburn Lake Trails and recently ( 4-5 months ago) put up 
the horseguard fencing  (tape with wire through it) in green on 3" round 
treated posts(also greenish).  Looks real nice - meets CC&R's and got lots of 
compliments from local folks. I have Arabs of assorted ages and a stallion in 
it, and the only thing I've noticed is the need to tighten the fence about 
once a month to keep it looking good. The manufacturer indicates that as the 
fence gets older, there will be less of a need to tighten it. Not dificult to 
do. I had no-climb with wood posts and rails on top, at my La Honda (by Jack 
Brook Horse Camp) home and it was great but expensive and needed lots of 
upkeep. I would still have a no-climb playpen for new babies but really like 
the horseguard so far and the horses do respect it. June
