I see places selling this smooth wire that is 12 guage. My opinion this is too small for the horses to see. I see some of the coated wire rope at 5/16 inch. This is better but I still feel it is too small. Is there anyone out there that makes at least a 3/8 inch product? I have seen a product with a white ribbon and three high tensile wires spaced inside. That is good, but expensive. Visibility is utmost so with any of the smooth wire products, attaching flags would have to be done. That is why I think the something at least 3/8 inch must be used.
