Fencing
 

I am trying to find the answer online, but can't find much specific. If one has board/plank and hot wire (horse/hot-cote wire) fencing for the perimeter of their property, what is the maximum height from ground to bottom run of fencing to contain a mini? It is obvious we are going to have to modify the existing fence if we do go ahead with a mini, but I need to know specifics as to what modifications to make on the wire/plank placement.

Dont go more then an inch or two as you want to keep predators out as much as you want to keep minis in :)

well, mini's can't be taller than 34 inches or they will be classified as a Shetland. I have a shetlandx mini. he looks like a shetland but is exatcly 34 inches tall. I have barbed wire fencing, but the strands are probably 6 inches apart.

I can't wait to see pics of your mini and of Aero meeting him/her ♥

Incorrect. AMHA only registeres up to 34", but AMHR has a "B" division that goes up to 38". Anything taller that IS a mini (out of mini parents) is an oversized mini. Shetlands are a breed, must have shetland parents to be a shetland (although there ARE a lot out there who are registered BOTH shetland and miniature... any shetland who is small enough can be)

oh ok they are sum cute minnies that yous have got!!!!

Our fence is a 3 rail wood fence, the boards are 8 feet. The first board is six inches off the ground, the second is 18" from the ground and the third is 30" from the ground (Making our fence a total of 36" tall as the boards are six inches wide) Around the top we put up one strand of hot wire to keep big horse noses from reaching in... I have minis from 30" to 38" tall and every one stays in safe & sound. It looks like this.....
