In keeping with the thread A case AGAINST dog collars.
NEVER enclose a horse where there are chain link fences. The back of a horseshoe commonly extends a little beyond the hoof. If a horse rears against a chain link fence the shoe can easily get caught.
Very often the entire fence from where the hoof is caught down to the ground must quickly be cut apart as it 're-hooks' again and again. Torsion to the leg resulting in permanent lameness can happen in a few seconds. Much worse awaits a horse that is unattended for hours.
