  1. How to Protect a wood Horse Fence  from Horse Chewing Some horse fences in Victoria, Australia are made of  wood. Horses have a vexation of chewing wood giving  their owner a headache. This happens especially when  they are contained in a limited land. This annoying  tendency can swiftly damage the fence. Horse owners  try  all  manner  of  deterrents  to  keep  off  the  horses  from the wood fences like ill­tasting spills but some  horses will not stop chewing! Other coatings that are  applied  on  the  wood  fences  are  poisonous  such  as  used oils. Using a chewing deterrent should be done  with caution and the chemicals must be approved for  horse fences. 

  2. There  is  a  safer  method  of  protecting  a  wood  horse fence from chewing horses which is:  Use of chicken Mesh wire Posts, boards, and poles are covered with this small­ mesh wire. Horses will find it difficult to chew through  the mesh wire because it will agitate their teeth. They  will thus give up on chewing the beneath wood. The top board or pole of a wire fence can easily be  secured by coating it with a chicken mesh wire which  should be cut into small strips using tin snips. Then it  is stapled on the board or pole at numerous intervals  to eliminate loose holes or extensions. The surfaces  need to be smooth so that horses won’t hold on to  them. Large staples must be used to secure the cover  and for longevity. The sharp corners and edges of the  strips must be tucked under. This will avoid ensnaring  or poking the horses.  Non­poisonous wood chewing deterrents can also be  applied to complement the chicken mesh. This can  be done occasionally and it will enhance the life span  of the wood horse fence.   This form of protection is an affordable mechanism  when  compared  to  the  process  of  replacement  of  damaged wood fence. Though the mesh wire and the  staples come with a cost, the method is cheap in the  long­run.  Thus  the  chicken  mesh  is  an  affordable  insurance cover for a wood fencing for horses.
