Round Pens have the 5 foot or 6 ft railing ~ and I have read where you say to be careful as to choose something that is not easy for a leg to be caught in ~ all round pens that I have seen have the bars so what should we do to protect against this issue
Thanks

Some metal panels have small loops at the bottom corners. These types of panels are popular but I would not recommend using them as a foot could possibly get in the loop. Also metal panels that cannot withstand getting kicked or stepped on may bend and create a sharp edge. Sometimes plywood is attached to the inside of the panels making it a solid wall. The plywood should be thick enough so that a horse cannot kick through it. Hope this helps answer your question.
