Would horses bother a utility pole on our property(rub against it, etc.)?
The area of our property that we are fencing off for 2 horses that we are getting has a utility pole smack dab in the middle. We live in the country so the pole only has our lines from the house running to it and obviously the lines are to the top of the pole. Should we fence this small section off around the pole or do you think the horses would leave it alone by not chewing on the wood, rubbing against it, etc..etc..? Good point Cat! I never even thought of what the pole itself is made of or coated with
I would highly recommend to fence it out, they will yes chew on it, rub and so on. Just think they coat those poles in chemicals, and stuff so the wood won’t rot, and don’t take the chance your horse could chew on it. Best of luck.
