Horse-safe paddock fencing: post and rail, stud rail, horse wire and electric fencing for studs, yards and private owners.
Midland Landscapes is one of Kildare’s most established equine fencing contractors. We install horse fencing for paddocks, stud farms, livery yards and private fields across Kildare, Laois and Carlow, with the posts driven and the rails and wire fixed the way horses need them: visible, strong and with nothing to catch a leg.

Horses need a fence they can see, that will not injure them and that holds when they lean on it. Tell us about the horses and the paddocks and we will spec the fence to suit, along with the paddock gates, any stock fencing for mixed grazing and paddock clearance and drainage if you need it.
Three or four rail timber fencing, the standard for stud farms and paddocks, with creosote or pressure-treated options.
Flexible stud rail and horse-safe wire fencing, a cost-effective, highly visible option for larger paddocks and boundaries.
Permanent electric tape and rope systems, and electric strands added to post and rail to stop chewing and leaning.
Planned from the ground up

Drive the posts, fix rails or stud rail to the inside of the paddock and set the correct heights for the horses.
03
Hang gates on proper hanging posts, add electric where wanted and leave every run safe and tidy.

Tell us if the fence is an outer boundary, which needs to be stronger, or internal paddock divisions.

Post and rail is the safest and most visible, which is why it is the standard on stud farms. Stud rail and horse-safe wire are good lower-cost options. We never recommend sheep wire or barbed wire for horse paddocks.
Around 1.2m to 1.3m for most horses, and 1.5m or more for stallions and jumpers. Rails are fixed on the inside of the posts so horses cannot push them off.
Yes. A single electric strand along the top rail stops chewing, leaning and rubbing, and is one of the best ways to make an existing fence last longer.
Yes. We fence everything from a single private paddock to full stud farm layouts with multiple paddocks, laneways and gateways.
Yes. We supply posts, rails, stud rail, wire, electric systems and gates, and install everything with our own crew and post driver.
We are based in Kildangan, Co. Kildare, in the middle of horse country, and fence across Kildare, Laois and Carlow. Nearby jobs outside that are usually fine, just ask.
Send an enquiry with your area, what horses you keep and a rough length or paddock sketch, with photos if you have them. We will come out, walk the paddocks and give you one written quote.
