FAUQUIER COUNTY HORSE FARMS (PART III)

Wow, it's springtime and babies are here!!!!  What a joyful time...unless you have "normal" babies who like to frolic and play....and sleep!  Here's where the right fencing and the right HEIGHT of fencing can be critical!!!!  ALWAYS be sure the bottom board is located either high enough that a baby can't get it's delicate leg stuck under it...or it is low enough that it can't get it's leg through it at all!!!  Rearing and playing are a given.  Babies (horses too for that matter!) LOOK for ways to get hurt.  I guess that is the key in deciding what kind of fencing you want.  Money is another huge factor.  4 boards or 3?  It's a matter of "what the jones's are doing".....american wire and posts?  Half rounds or full?  Again, a matter of taste, deep pockets and hopefully, most importantly, one of safety for the animals.  Be safe, be amazed at the wonder of new life and enjoy the beautiful hills of Virginia!
