Painting a horse corral.....

    When you "horse people" paint a fence... (ours is a corral) what type of paint should be used? Anyone have their fence painted a different color other then white? Do you like it or do you wish you would have gone with the traditional white?

    I don't know, my fence is traditional wood, I have seen red fences though...

    When you say traditional wood... did you paint it or did you seal it with something to keep the natural wood look? We are building a corral with treated posts (they look greenish) and non treated 2 X 6's I will need to put something on the 2 X 6's so they will last longer. I was just trying to figure out what is the best to use.

    I think I just want to use a water sealer..... is there a safe one for horses and cows?

    Will Thompsons do the job? I don't have the horse or calf yet and I don't know if they chew on wood. I hope they dont!! Those posts were murder putting them in!!! ](*,)

    That should be fine. Yes, horses and cows will chew on the wood. If that becomes a problem just spread tabasco sauce on the rail that they have found particularly tasty. Or spray with pam, and sprinkle with cyenne (sp???) pepper.
