Since 1980, K Fence, of Zumbro Falls Minnesota, has been building and marketing a new age of fencing materials in the Midwest. They stock a complete line of electric and non-electric farm & wildlife fencing including:

Horse Fence

Though fencing for horses has many similarities to typical livestock fences they typically are somewhat taller and offer more visibility. A basic high tensile horse fence consists of three, four, or five strands of high tensile wire. Often the top and several other wires are insulated. If the fence is energized and remains energized while horses are in the pasture, they will keep their distance and avoid involvement and injury with the fence.

Stay-Tuff Fixed Knot Horse Fence
This is the ultimate in woven wire horse fence. It is available in 4 foot and 5 foot roll widths with a vertical stay wire every 3 inches. It is a class III galvanized product utilizing fixed knot construction of high tensile wire. It is available in a 165 foot roll.

High Tensile Polymer Horse Fence:
Utilizing the strength of high tensile, these fences have a covering that adds increased visibility and thus safety to the fence.

  1. Centaur Rail consists of a 5 inch rail encasing strands of high tensile wire. It is available in white, black, and brown colors on a 660 foot roll.
  2. Spur Rail is a 4 inch rail encasing 2 strands of high tensile wire. It is available in white, brown, and black colors on a 660 foot roll.
  3. White Lightning is a polyethylene covered high tensile wire that can be energized. It can be used in conjunction with Poly Plus and is available on a 1320 foot coil in white, brown, or black.
  4. Poly Plus is a 12 1/2 gauge high tensile wire with a polymer coating, 1/4″ in diameter. It is available in white, black, and brown on a 1320 foot coil.
  5. Hot Site is a 1″ visible electric rail encasing 2 strands of high tensile wire. It comes on a 500′ roll and is available in white, black, and brown.

Horse Fence Posts:
We believe that treated wood or fiberglass posts are the safest posts. Treated wood posts offer superior strength while fiberglass posts offer visibility and flexibility. The use of steel T posts should be avoided as they can easily ground an electric fence and offer a hazard to horses should they rear up near them.

Electro braid:
Electro braid is ideal for horse owners who do not want to fence with a steel wire product. It is composed of a polyester fiber, like seat belt material. It has a copper conductor that conducts electricity on its surface. It is covered by a 25 year warranty and is available in white on a 1200 foot coil.
