Fencing Built for Your Animals
Dependable — From Dog Runs to Full Pastures
Fence Pros has extensive experience with the full range of animal enclosures — dog fencing, deer fencing, rabbit fencing, and full-scale equestrian installations. That breadth of experience means when we build your horse and animal fence, you're getting a team that understands what works, what fails, and why material and design decisions matter for the safety of your animals.
Whether you're enclosing a small backyard pen or fencing several acres of pasture across Southern Colorado's varied terrain, we bring the same level of care and craftsmanship to every project.
Horse-Safe Design
Mesh spacing engineered to prevent hooves from catching — eliminating a primary cause of equine fence injury.
Predator Deterrent
Close wire spacing keeps coyotes, dogs, and other predators from entering pastures and corrals.
Galvanized for Longevity
Hot-dipped galvanized wire resists Colorado's moisture, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles without rusting or degrading.
Flexible & Easy to Maintain
Wire mesh flexes under pressure rather than breaking, keeping the fence intact through contact with large animals.
Why Material Selection Matters
For horse and livestock enclosures, choosing the right fencing material isn't just a preference — it can mean the difference between a safe animal and a serious or fatal injury. The wrong fence design exposes horses to hoof entrapment, panel collapse, and cut injuries that are entirely preventable with the right system.
The best equestrian fence is constructed of wire mesh, made by weaving wire into specific spacing patterns and using knots to secure each intersection. This design is fundamental — the wire layout determines the fence's strength, stability, and safety profile.
⚠ The Most Important Safety Spec: Mesh Opening Size
Mesh openings must be small enough to prevent a horse from getting its hoof caught between wires, and to stop horses from climbing on the fence or stepping down on the line wires — either of which can cause collapse or structural failure. Correct spacing also deters predators from entering a pasture or corral. This is not a detail to cut corners on, and it's why Fence Pros uses only properly engineered mesh systems for equestrian installations.
Galvanized Wire Mesh — The Right System for Horses
Wire mesh fence is woven in rectangular or triangular patterns with openings specifically sized to prevent hoof entrapment. All wire used in our equestrian installations is galvanized — hot-dipped to resist the elements, including Colorado's wet spring runoff season and harsh winters.
This system also keeps pets and small animals contained or excluded from your pasture, provides excellent linear strength along fence runs, and remains flexible enough to absorb the impact of an animal leaning or pushing without catastrophic failure.
- Mesh openings sized to prevent hoof entrapment — a critical safety requirement
- Galvanized wire resists rust, corrosion, and Colorado's weather extremes
- Deters coyotes, dogs, and other predators from entering pastures
- Keeps pets and small animals in or out of your enclosure
- Flexible under pressure — won't shatter or splinter like wood boards
- Excellent linear strength across long pasture fence runs
- Easy to inspect and maintain over a long service life
Fence Types for Horses & Livestock
Wire Mesh / No-Climb
The gold standard for horses — small rectangular openings prevent hoof entrapment and climbing.
Board & Rail
Classic wood or vinyl board rail fence — highly visible to horses, attractive, and great for paddocks.
Combination Mesh + Rail
Wire mesh with a top board rail — maximum safety plus high visibility for horses approaching the fence line.
Welded Wire Panels
Rigid panels for corrals and smaller enclosures. Strong, predator-resistant, and quick to install.
