Compared to white picket fences, dark fences are now common in the countryside around Lexington. In 2014, the state of Kentucky passed an ordinance called Paint it Black. It required that miles of white plank fencing that had been in place since be painted black to lower maintenance costs. Now, the most common color for horse fencing is black.

Double-fencing between paddocks or fields keeps horses from interacting across a typical fence and allows vehicles and farm machinery to move easily around the property.
