Leading Scottish-based fencing company Tornado Wire unveiled its pioneering new range of horse fencing at the summer shows this year.

Tornado has joined forces with US fencing expert Centaur HTP® to bring the patented Centaur HTP Fencing System to the UK market, providing horse owners with a long-awaited alternative to wooden post and rail fencing.

Billed as the ‘strongest and safest horse fencing on the market’, the Centaur fencing system combines the horse-friendly combination of strength and flexibility as it incorporates three high-tensile wires that are embedded in a 125mm-wide, cross-linked polymer-coated rail. As the rails installed in a continuous line, any stress to the fence is absorbed through the entire length, dispersing impact and keeping horses contained and protected without the problem of broken fence rails, which can cause injury. The design also requires fewer posts than wooden post and railing fences, keeping installation time to a minimum.

Tornado’s managing director, Kenny Campbell comments: “We’re delighted by the response we received from the launch – all of our on-stand literature was snapped up at the shows and hits to our website have trebled. It just goes to show that there’s real demand for this type of fencing, and it’s easy to see why – the Centaur HTP system is easy to put together, low maintenance, horse-friendly, very cost effective and able to withstand both impact and extreme weather. It ticks all the boxes equine customers need.”

Designed with the exact needs of both horse and owner in mind, three other products join the Centaur HTP fence to create the complete Centaur HTP Fencing System; Centaur HTP Hot-Rail, CenFlex HTP and Lightning. Hot-Rail combines Centaur HTP technology with electric fencing, creating a longer-lasting option to electric fencing. CenFlex HTP is a lighter alternative to the traditional Centaur HTP. It uses the same cross-linked polymer technology and is ideal for use in areas of reduced pressure or when fencing on a budget, whilst Lightning is permanent electric fencing engineered for durability.

The Centaur HTP system joins Tornado’s existing equine range that includes the Classic Horse Fence and the Premium Horse Fence. Both are heavily galvanised for a longer life and benefit from the high quality of Hi-Tensile Plus wire.
