I have been putting in 6X6 cedar posts and using 6" x 10' rough cut oak planks about 1 1/4 thick. The posts were expensive but oak wasn't bad. I set the top rail at 5 feet and go 24 inches from top to top of the next level for 3 rows. Round post and rail looks nice till your horse backs his butt into the scratch those itches and pops the rail out. I am very familiar with a 6 volt pulse fence. We used them when I was a kid to keep the cows in (Brown Swiss) milkers. I was a rotten kid; I would get my sisters, Grab my sister’s hand and grab the fence. Horses will take the hit especial if you have a bright one that realizes it can walk through it. That web fence is kind of new and I love the idea putting the horses into the wood lot to trample the underbrush and keep the mud down. My paddock is sand base so it isn't bad there but the grazing fields near the barn can get nasty. This is a new place for me hear and I am trying to get everything set up before my horses come. I'm big on planning first rather than fix after the fact
