How EQUINOX FOR HORSES horse rails and barriers are made ?

Our range of equestrian rails and barriers are made in-house through eco-friendly processes. They mainly rely on : 

• Eco-design: when our R&D designs a barrier, they always strive for lowering the impact to the environment. This principle applies to the raw materials as well as the life cycle of the finished product,
• Circular economy and local sourcing : we work with local suppliers and vendors as much as possible,
• Recourse to recycled raw materials (about 95% for all our ranges of fence, rails and barriers which are fully recyclables,
• Durability : our horse rails, barriers, paddock fences and track rails are made to last through the end of their life which is about 25 years.

Thus, all our equestrian fencing, 2-rails free-standing barriers, 3-rails free-standing barriers, arena rails, track rails, gooseneck rails, are designed and manufactured in-house with the most advanced technology. As a result, they feature high quality standards and fit perfectly in stables, training centers, equestrian venues and racecourses.

What is the difference between PVC horse rails and wooden arena fencing?

Eco-responsible, safe, easy.

Our arena rails, racing rails, crowd barriers and free-standing barriers and are made from 95% recycled raw materials and are fully recyclable.

We have been designing and manufacturing equestrian equipment for over 50 years.

This expertise in the design of equestrian fences and in the world of horses means that today we can offer stable equipment that combines all the features needed for riding in the best possible conditions: 

• Resilience: to absorb shocks in the event of a fall or impact on the rail (unfortunately it happens ?), which is not possible with wooden fencing.
• Resistance: the best compromise between flex and sturdiness so that the rails does not shatter if a rider or horse hits the arena fence.

These features enable you to delinear the perimeter of your training or competition arenas in a safe manner. Our solutions designed for equestrian arenas are always ‘horse friendly’, which means they are designed without metal. Our rails and posts are all metal-free. Falling or hitting a rail made of  metal-free “recycled PVC” is less painful than falling on wood. Horsemen’s word !

Our free-standing barriers are also adjustable depending on the use case: available with 2 or 3 rails, you can choose the rail height that best suits your needs (depending on the height of horses or ponies, for example). Equinox free-standing barriers spacing is 6.56’ (or 78”).  

We have also chosen white for our rails. White is the color that horses see best, as shown by this study carried out by the BHA (British Racing Authority). As a result, horses have a higher chance to avoid hitting the fences which prevents the rider from falling. 

Last but not least, Equinox for Horses equestrian fences are highly resistant to UV due to their materials and fabrication process. They can be used in the most severe climates such as Florida, New York, California or Nevada.
