That's interesting. *I know nothing about horses, but there are a
number of houses around here that have a horse or two and most of them
just have barbed wire strung on light angle iron or something
similarly l.........

I suspect they are strung on "T-Posts". T-Posts are an extruded metal
shape with a large, flat plate welded along the length and near the
bottom. They are driven into the ground so the plate is buried and
used for wire fences, usually barbed wire. They might look a little
spindly but they are a pretty effective and economic fence system.
