Economical = metal tpost and wood corenr posts and H braces or L braces.

I just did my 10ac a while back.

Pop corners in and brace, and then drop a H brace every so often.. 100-150' or so.. I used 20' spacing on my t-post.

Woven Field wire with a optional top strand of barb wire. some people don't like field wire for horses.. some do.. your choice. Field wire is strong, and economical. Next choice is 2x4 welded wire.. not as strong.. but 'safer' for horses.. but.. again.. not as strong. up from there is 2x4 woven wire.. strong and horse friendly.. but not wallet friendly.

I used barb wire 4 strands onmine.. but had no dogs to contain Tpost and wire hold in mules and cows.. so any of the wires i mentioned should be ok for your application.

Buy a fence stretch rig, and a set of PHD's.. and your wood corner posts. i reccomend the large 6-8x8 corners.. and braces can be 5-7 and peeler posts.... get some fence staples, and a good set of fence pliers.. a post pounder, and some twine to pull your line.. drive the truck down the line and have a helper toss out tpost ever 20' down the line.. One of you start pounding int he t-post while the other does the corner and brace holes. I like to 'bias' my corner posts leaning away from the fence pull.

You and a helper should be able to drop in a couple thosand foot of fence on a clear line a day easy. IE.. this can be a 2 day project at most for a gate and a rectangular fenceline with no clearing.. just digging, pounding unrolling and stretching.. etc. Then go back and clip the wire to the posts.. etc.

plan your gates WELL.
