Best Answer

White painted horse Fencing typically made of wood or PVC is used to create a visible barrier that the horse can see. This allows a galloping horse to see the fence and stop long before running into it and hurting itself. In the past a white painted fence was a sign of wealth and/or prestige on a horse farm as it took lots of money to paint the fences white and keep them looking good.
