Questions horse owners ask

Do you install fences?

No. Colorado Horse Fence is a referral service. Independent fence contractors visit your property, quote the job, and do the work.

Is there a fee for horse owners?

No. Contractors may pay us for introductions, and owners pay nothing.

How many contractors will contact me?

Three at most, chosen by your ZIP code and the areas each contractor serves.

Does Colorado license fence contractors?

Colorado has no statewide fence contractor license. Some counties and cities require registration or permits, so ask your local building department, and ask contractors for proof of insurance.

Is Colorado a fence-in or fence-out state?

Colorado is generally considered fence-out, and state law defines a 'lawful fence.' How that affects a shared line depends on your situation, so talk to neighbors and get local advice if a boundary is disputed.

Why are Colorado quotes higher than national averages?

Rocky ground, wind bracing, frost depth, and travel to rural parcels all add labor. See our cost page for two sets of published figures.

What's the safest fence for horses?

Most installers point to no-climb mesh with a visible top rail. Which one fits best depends on your horses, terrain, and budget.

When is the best time to build?

Fall and early spring usually have the best digging conditions before the ground freezes or the summer rush starts.
