Researching Your Fence
Why a Horserail® Fence?
First - you will notice that a Horserail® fence looks like a quality horse fence should - strong, straight lines - evenly spaced rails and rich, full colors! It is as visually appealing as a "traditional" fence - but the similarities stop there.
The Fence-of-Choice of Veterinarians
Although many options are available to today's fencing consumer, recent surveys have shown that continuous, plastic coated fence rail has the lowest reported number of injuries to animals and riders.
Because we know that owners are concerned with the health and safety of their animals, we are committed to producing and distributing the safest products possible. Our fence rail products and their attachment mechanisms are designed and time tested for safety. We provide specially designed hardware for inside mounting of the fence rail, and use new bracing techniques to keep animals and people safe. Our attachment brackets fit virtually flush with the post, so there is less chance for injury. The smooth edged, rounded design of the tensioning spooler, coupled with the flexible surface of the rail ensure a safer atmosphere.
We want our customers to rest comfortably knowing that they have provided the safest environment possible for their animals. Go ahead and check with your veterinarian - we feel confident that they will confirm our safety statement.
How Safe: These pictures show how Horserail® can flex and not hurt your horse even when its legs get tangled in the fence. Not a mark to be seen.

Beautiful, Safe and Strong!
How does it work? Horserail®'s strong, smooth surface is designed to flex and slide so that if your horse is to run into, hit, kick or put a leg through the fence then Horserail® will bend and flex so that animal will be uninjured.
How Strong: These pictures show how Horserail® stood up to a car crashing right through the fence but Horserail® was NOT broken and the horses remain securely fenced.

Comparing Horserail® to other materials used in fence manufacturing and other fence types again shows why Horserail® "Is in a class of its own!"
Lower Costs With Reduced Maintenance
The cost of building a Horserail® fence will usually be lower than a traditional board fence.
The cost of building a Horserail® fence will usually be lower than a traditional board fence.
Due to Horserail®'s design and strength characteristics the fence posts can be placed further apart resulting in less money spent on posts and less time installing those posts. One of the most significant features with our product is the reduced maintenance cost, with no broken boards, no splintering, no painting or mold treatment required. The rails will not go moldy and grey as with wood and other non-treated products. Horserail® is easy to clean - a bit of soap and warm water, a quick spray rinse is all that is needed.
Up To 30 Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty
We use only premium components in the manufacturing process which allows us to offer up to a 30 Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty*.
The Horserail® system is unique in that we have developed a number of patented features. For example the coated wire is both prestraightened and molecularly bonded to high quality plastic. This means that it is lighter & stronger and longer lasting.

What Other Folks Say About Us:
We know that we have a great product and we don't mind telling everyone so - but it's always good to hear from others. Read what some satisfied Horserail® consumers have to say…
Neville Duncan - Oakland Park Stud

Anthony Mithen - Rosemont Stud
"Safety has to come first for every farm. The fact that Horserail® looks so good as well is a huge bonus! I love it and will be opening more and more paddocks at Rosemont using the Horserail® product."
Mike Davies - Veterinarian/Belmont Horse Hospital
"Our recovery paddocks are fenced with Horserail® as safety is the first priority at our clinic; we are very happy with them and would highly recommend Horserail® to anyone looking for a safe and aesthetically pleasing fence."
Gary Mudgway - Grange Thoroughbreds
"We have used Horserail® exclusively on our new property, for safety, aesthetics, practicality and cost. I would not use any other product and would highly recommend it to anyone."
Alister Rodgers - Rockhampton Veterinary Clinic
"Our new clinic has been fully fenced with Horserail® fencing and as a vet we require the best of what is available, that's why we chose Horserail® to be used in all our paddocks and pens."
Trevor Delroy - Wyadup Valley Farms
"We have installed over 15km of 3 Rail Horserail® fencing in recent years. Injuries have been reduced substantially due to its safety features and we have experienced no problems with its durability."
Eddie Rigg - Geisle Park
"We are delighted with the safety and minimal maintenance that Horserail® offers. We recently had a horse hit a Horserail® fence at pace and by the time we got down to the paddock we could not work out which horse had hit the fence!"
John Smith - Kulani Park
"Brilliant product - as the safety of our horses is our first priority and there is no better product on the market today!"
Billy Douglas - Manager/Aquanita Racing
"We spell some of our best racehorses behind Horserail® as it is the best fencing to give you peace-of-mind when valuable stock is behind it! All of our trainers love it!"
Stephen Irwin - Riverslea Farm
"During a daytime storm, we witnessed a foal hit and go through a 4 Rail Horserail® fence and all it did was take a small amount of hair off its back legs. If it had been any other type of fencing - the foal would most likely have been seriously injured or killed, Horserail® has paid for itself in one incident!"
Brad Travers - Dawson Stud
"When we needed safe fencing for our Yearlings we used Horserail® products - and were so happy with the cost effectiveness we have continued throughout the rest of the stud! Best investment we have made!"
John Woods - The Old Crossing Thoroughbreds
"Our whole stud has been fenced in Horserail® and we have all but eliminated fencing injuries. Anyone looking at fencing should use the Horserail® range of products!"
Helen & Adrian Palmer - Black Hills
"Thank you for the opportunity to say how wonderful Horserail® has been as a product in our re-development of "Black Hills" Tasmania. Over the past 12 months Horserail® has provided us with a very strong, highly defined fencing system. The system is easy to erect, has a fantastic visual effect for both horse and human alike with the added advantage that it provides a low risk barrier to contain horses. When the low maintenance aspect of Horserail® is added to the equation, then we believe it is the best way to improve our horse management!"
Paul and Deirdre Robinson
"Are we ever glad we have Horserail® fencing!
Yesterday morning when our young (extremely frisky) filly had her cover put on in the paddock by our trainer the straps tickled her back legs and so she tried for a short cut through the fence...luckily she hit the plastic rails and got thrown back on her butt but did manage to break off two posts and undo a pile of electric wire...NO damage to her at all! The three guys who watched her said if it had been regular fencing she would have killed herself.
Huge testimonial for anyone who wants to know about Horserail®! Also it was so easy to repair the fence."

About Us
A brief look at who we are, where we came from and our look to the future…
John Wall's knowledge on the fencing industry comes naturally. John was born and raised on a farm in New Zealand, and it was in his native land where he began working as a fencing contractor and large herd manager. In 1969, he moved to Pennsylvania, founded a fence company and promoted smooth wire fence technology throughout North America.
Through a partnership with "US Steel" (fence wire) and "Koppers Company" (treated posts), John's company grew rapidly selling through distributors and training fence contractors throughout North America. John became aware that one of the problems with continuous horse rail fence has been improper installation techniques. Using new technologies, John Wall Inc. developed rail fence that stays flat, smooth and straight as a board. The company has also developed superior attachment methods that successfully hold the fence in place while lessening the chance of injury for horse and rider. These new technologies and simplified installation methods combine to offer distributors, installers and owners the safest, most reliable fencing product.
With the creation of Horserail® in the early 90's, John began combining his knowledge with modern technologies. The result is a fence rail system like no other. A system that is safe, affordable, durable and attractive. John has built his fences in most states and numerous universities and land grant colleges. He has been a past instructor at the American Fence Association in Field Training School. With over 55 years of experience, John is in constant demand as an adviser and consultant.
John and his staff continue to experiment and develop new products and installation techniques. The company is based in Carmichaels, PA. These products are sold through distributors worldwide.
