Ok so i am thinking of gettind like a draft horse or abigger size horse. I was wondering what would be the best fencing for it that was also the cheapest. I heard that draft horses are very clm and gentle and i don't think that they would try and escape as long as they felt safe. so what is the cheapest fencing that i could do for it. Oh and am i right about it not trying to escape?|||The thing about draft horses is that they do know how big they are, and they will happily push through a fence if they want to get to the other side. Some breeds and individuals are more prone to this than others. We have a pair of Percherons on the farm that test every inch of their 4 board wooden fence every single day. If they find a weak spot, they go through.
I ride a Belgian draft who is less pushy, but still happy to find weak areas of the fence, even with buddies in the turnout with him. If he is hungry, he leaves.
We have the best luck with the electric tape on wooden fenceposts. We have a charger that is solar powered that works very well. I can't tell you how much it would cost, it would depend on the size of the paddock you were enclosing. It should be at least a 5 foot fence, and it could all be electric (cheapest) or it could be a wooden fence topped with electric tape.
edit-- We got the charger and the tape at Tractor Supply Company|||best fence is from this place.
