Cameo™ Horse Fence · Installed in the OKC Metro
A fence that gives before your horse does
Cameo runs a flexible polymer line instead of wire. It carries 1,200 lb of breaking strength, stretches up to 20% under impact, and contains no metal to cut with. We measure, set the posts and tension the lines across pastures, paddocks and arenas.
Wire holds a horse. It also holds an edge.

The problem with wire
High-tensile wire does not move. A horse at speed does.
A horse that hits taut wire meets a line that will not give. The wire loads up against hide and keeps its edge — the injury pattern owners call the cheese-cutter effect. Barbed wire is worse, and field fence traps a shod hoof.
Cameo is built to fail the other direction. The line stretches, absorbs the hit and returns to tension, so the horse is pushed back instead of cut. There is no metal in the line to open a wound, and nothing sharp at the post.
A single fence injury commonly runs \$1,000 to \$3,000 in veterinary care. One of them costs about what a fence does.
How it works
Four things decide whether a horse fence is safe
01
It flexes
The monofilament line gives up to 20% under load and rebounds to tension. Impact is absorbed along the run instead of concentrated where the horse hit it.
02
It holds
1,200 lb breaking strength per line. Deer strikes and downed limbs pop a line loose rather than tearing out a section of fence.
03
They can see it
Wide, light-colored lines read clearly against grass and snow. Horses learn the boundary quickly and stop testing it.
04
It stays put
The polymer resists weathering and carries a 10-year warranty. Maintenance is a tension check, not a board replacement.
Our build specification
The parts you never see decide how long it stands
The line is the safety. The posts and the corners are the fence. We set them for wind country, because a line under tension only works if the ends do not move.
Poured concrete footings at every end and corner
Corners and ends carry the whole tension of the run. They get concrete, braced, before a single line goes up.
Posts chosen for wind country, not for the bid
Thin-wall posts flex in a straight-line gust and stay leaning once they take a set. A heavier wall comes back straight.
Manufacturer hardware, tensioned to spec
Cameo insulators, links and one-way vises throughout, with line spacing set to the animals you keep.
A less expensive fence is always available. It is usually the same fence twice.
Post options
One line system, four ways to carry it
Cameo mounts on wood, steel, aluminum or vinyl, which is why an existing post line in sound condition can often be re-used. We walk the fence first and tell you plainly whether the posts will hold tension.
Wood post
The traditional look for a residence or a show barn, with insulators at each line. Pairs with cedar corners and a stained finish.
MOST REQUESTED
Steel T-post
The economical run for large acreage and cross-fencing. Fastest to set over long distances.
BEST FOR ACREAGE
Aluminum i-post
Slim profile, no rot and no rust, with the line seated in the post itself. A clean sightline around arenas.
LOWEST MAINTENANCE
Vinyl post
The white-fence look at a fraction of the board count, with no painting cycle to keep up.
ENTRANCE AND FRONTAGE
Where it goes
Pastures, paddocks and arenas
Perimeter and cross-fencing
Long runs at 4 or 5 lines, with gates where you actually walk. Cross-fencing to rotate grazing without a second post line.
Riding arenas
Up to 8 lines for a visible wall with no rail to catch a stirrup, and a sightline that does not block the rail for spectators.
Training paddocks and turnout
Tighter line spacing for foals and minis, where the gap between lines matters more than the height of the fence.
Common questions
Cameo horse fence, answered
What is the safest fence for horses?
A fence that is highly visible, flexible, and free of sharp edges. Cameo uses a high-strength polymer line that flexes under pressure and rebounds instead of breaking, and the system contains no metal, so there is no barb, no cut edge, and no cheese-cutter effect from high-tensile wire.
How strong is Cameo horse fence?
Each line carries 1,200 lb breaking strength and flexes up to 20% before it breaks. A horse that hits it is pushed back rather than cut, and the line returns to tension.
Will my horses see it?
Yes. Visibility is the point. The lines are wide and light-colored against pasture, and horses learn the boundary quickly. We set line spacing to the animals you keep, which is a different layout for foals than for a hunter barn.
Can Cameo go on posts I already have?
Usually. Cameo runs on wood posts, steel T-posts, aluminum i-posts and vinyl posts, so an existing post line in sound condition can often be re-used with new insulators and hardware. We check post condition first and tell you plainly if the posts will not hold tension.
How long does an install take?
Most residential pastures go up in one to two days once the posts are set. The line is light — a roll weighs under 20 lb — so the work is measuring, drilling, and tensioning rather than heavy handling.
Is there a warranty?
The Cameo line carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against weathering. Our installation workmanship is warranted separately. Horse fence installs require a 25% deposit to schedule, with the balance due on completion.
