We've had pipe panels for about 25 years and have yet
to have a horse cast himself under one. I do not recommend non-climb wire
or hog wire, because a pawing horse can catch a wire under the heel of his shoe
and be caught. Then the horse is frightened and all hell breaks
loose. Big wreck in the making!
As much as I con't like pipe panels because of casting
conditions..they are a better alternative. And this property is nothing
but peeler core and none-climb wire! And yes, I have two horses that
want to eat the wood to the core!
I
kept a friend's beaver horse here for a few years. The horse
was definitely better, hardly chewed, when she was given the
supplement Quitt, AND had something to eat ALL DAY. We fed her a ration
of good quality hay for her nutritional needs in addition to a flake
of something close to straw in nutritional value, at each feeding.
The poorer quality hay wasn't as appetizing, so it lasted all day. She
was a very easy keeper, but wanted to eat constantly.
And pipe
corrals work great!

My horse is eating all the
trees and wood she can get her hands on... Any suggestions? This is our
first "beaver horse" Micki and Chris
