Fences must be at least 5 feet high for burros and 6 feet high for ungentled horses. Horses under 18 months of age may be kept in corrals with fences 5 feet high. Fences should be of pole, pipe, or plank construction and must not have dangerous protrusions. Barbed wire is not allowed in stalls or corrals. An animal is considered gentled when it can be approached, handled, haltered, and led without attempting to escape.
Burros are much more susceptible to cold than horses.
