Whitewashed wood split rail fence is the traditional look for equestrian homesites, but this material is rife with problems and high maintenance. From the need to repaint periodically is time consuming and expensive. Some horses actually eat (cribbing) the fence, which not only destroys it, this can cause serious health problems for the animal. The introduction of vinyl fencing solved all these problems and more, to provide a weather resistant alternative to wood for creating this classic horse farm style.
