The Equi-Safe® Horse Fence Story…
The technology behind Equi-Safe® was developed in Europe over 20 years ago with the simple goal of creating a maintenance-free horse fence that would, by its unique design, minimize potential injury to the horse, and due to its attractive appearance, enhance property value.
AVCON Inc, the parent company of Equi-Safe®, recognized a need in the US equine fencing world for a product that combined the strength and durability of HDPE, with a unique electric fence component built in, and brought Equi-Safe® horse fence to the United States in 2003.
Equi-Safe® horse fence is a product unlike anything we've seen in the US until now. It is unbreakable, environmentally friendly, safe, weather resistant and economical. Equi-Safe® was originally, and continues to be, manufactured at our facility in Lakewood, NJ. As a result, word about this unique equine fencing system initially began to spread throughout the Northeast. Today, Equi-Safe® fences can be found across the country, from Maine to Hawaii, as well as in Europe and Australia.
At Equi-Safe® we continue to push the technology, taking the original design and improving on it with the ultimate and simple goal of producing the best horse fence available on the market today.
"I am confident this is the safest and most attractive fence on the market, no wire or tape to get tangled up in. But most importantly, the safety for the horses. I have seen some of my colts kick the rails so hard that my heart almost stopped, then trot off sound like always. Let's not forget about the colt who got scared from a hunter and ran through two fence lines and walked away with not even a scratch. It is very easy to recommend this fence to anybody who is looklng for the safest and best looking fence for their farm. Just simply the best. This fence will revolutionize the horse fencing business. Maintenance free, no nails, no painting, replacing broken boards... nothing! And looks great too!"
