Tornado Wire set to launch ‘strongest and safest’ horse fence

Leading fencing company Tornado Wire is set to unveil a pioneering new range of horse fencing at the 2009 Royal Cornwall and Royal Highland shows this June.

Tornado has joined forces with US fencing expert Centaur HTP® to bring the revolutionary 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 is manufactured using three high-tensile wires embedded in a 125mm-wide, cross-linked polymer-coated rail, combining the horse-friendly elements of strength and flexibility. With 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, reducing installation time.

Tornado’s Managing Director, Kenny Campbell comments: “We’ve worked closely with international equine fencing experts to bring our customers the highest quality alternative to traditional fencing. The Centaur HTP system is low maintenance, horse-friendly, cost effective and able to withstand both impact and extreme weather, ticking all the boxes equine customers need."

In addition to the Centaur HTP fence, the complete Centaur HTP Fencing System includes Centaur HTP Hot-Rail, CenFlex HTP and Lightning; a suite of products designed with the needs of both horse and owner in mind. Hot-Rail combines the patented Centaur HTP cross-linked, polymer-coated technology with electric fencing. CenFlex HTP is a lighter alternative to the traditional Centaur HTP. It utilises 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.
