This is the safest fence your horse can have
There are many different options for an electric fence for your horse. Do you choose rope, tape or permanent cable? What is the right width for the tape? Which posts are safest for a horse fence and which meadow gate is best? Not to mention, which device do you use to put power on the fence?
In this article, we will help you make the safest choice for your horse's fence. We assume here that you want to install the fence yourself and that it is permanent. That is why we have chosen Turbostar 40 mm tape. Will you have the fence installed by a professional or are you handy yourself? And do you want a virtually maintenance-free fence that lasts an extremely long time? Then consider the Turbostar Equifence wire with its insulators. The other advice points remain the same.
Always connected, wherever you are
Gallagher Ag devices app
The MBS1000i communicates via the included gateway controller and alerts you on your smartphone in case of problems. Via the free app, you can see the status of your fence 24/7 and adjust the device's settings. This allows you to take quick action in case of problems and restore the safe situation.

The very best tape for horses
TurboStar tape 40 mm
Thanks to its visibility and large contact area, 40 mm tape is the perfect solution for electric fencing for horses. TurboStar tape has a unique material composition that makes it 40 times more conductive than standard tape. The tape is very strong thanks to the sturdy, conductive lace wire in the edges, allowing for good clamping. The windflow structure makes the tape less sensitive to wind.
Very robust to endure high tension for a long time
TurboStar horse strain insulator
The insulator consists of three parts that provide extra strength. Thanks to the slot on the outside of the insulator, the tape can be optimally clamped and serve as a start/end point. The cast-in orange rubbers ensure that the tape is firmly clamped in the insulator.
Stays put, no matter what
Insultimber (FSC®) corner post
When you put 2 or 3 rows of tape under voltage, a lot of force is put on the corner posts. If a horse tries to flee through the fence, the force gets much higher still. You want to prevent the corner posts from breaking or coming out of the ground. Therefore, always choose very solid Insultimber corner posts.
Know immediately where the problem is
Fence monitor for the i Series
This fence monitor for the i Series allows you to monitor a separate area of the fence via smartphone. When you then receive an alarm, you can see right away where the problem is, instead of having to do a tour of the farm.
One hand, one movement
Multi strand gate kit
This passage set allows you to open the gate with one hand and one action. This allows you to open the gate with the horse in hand and enter the paddock or pasture. When the gate is open, there is no current on the passage and the handle can be easily inserted into the ground.
To complete it
Accessories and Testers
Always use a suitable tape joiner to connect tape. This is important for power passage and prevents sharp parts that the horse can injure itself on. For measuring the voltage on the electric fence, a voltmeter or fault finder is an indispensable tool.
