Horse farms in Kentucky have a distinctive look with 3 & 4 rail fencing defining their paddocks. Typically, horse fencing is made with oak post and rails, but Lexington Hearth likes the beautiful rough-sawn grain of western red cedar. The Flat Sawn Beam mantel has a similar appearance to a fence rail, and the beam refinements provide a contemporary aesthetic for a nice alternative to their rustic mantels.
As soon as you leave the Bluegrass Airport Terminal, you’ll notice distinctive 4-rail fencing around the farms surrounding the airport. Just down the street, the famous Calumet farm is recognizable by its red roofs and white fencing. White fencing requires more maintenance, and was traditionally painted by hand, making it a luxury statement.
The Kentucky Horse Park followed Calumet’s tradition of white fencing up until a few years ago when Kentucky legislated that all state-owned rail fencing had to be painted black. Black paint lasts longer, can be spray painted, and protects the wood better for longer life and lower costs.
Some farms use double fencing as a safety practice. The extra fence row along a road protects the horses from vehicle accidents and any garbage that might be thrown from cars. It also allows groups of horses to see each other without the danger of them fighting with each other. With double fencing, horses are less likely to get past two barriers if they try to escape from the paddock.
Lexington's rolling hills and paddocks make for a great training ground for foals and yearlings. All in all, it is a great place to be a horse—and our earliest settlers knew it.
