    Maybe a Stupid Question

    Since moving to Lex. I've noticed a whole lot of horse farms and many of them seem to have a fence going around another with about a 15' gap in between em. What's up with that?

    If a horse jumps the first fence it is pretty much impossible for it to jump the 2nd since they are usually close together, therefore it prevents the horse from escaping.

    Never grew up around horse farms. That was my assumption but wasn't sure!

    Don't feel bad Matt, that answer makes perfect since. However, I always thought it was a lane for riding. I never grew up on a horse farm, plus all the farms that have horses here don't have the money for two fences.

    I thought it was to keep the studs from fighting. The gap is usually between fields not on the road side. My pennys worth. Good Question.
