The safest gate is visible to the horse, has no sharp edges or corners, and can be securely fastened so that a horse does not get its foot caught between the gate and post. A bull gate made of pipe is a popular gate used by many horse farms. Make sure that it is hung properly to decrease the chances of injury.
