I don't think I can get the post hole digger much deeper than 2' however the posts that I've buried in this soil seem to be pretty stiff and at a 10 foot pole spacing I think I will be okay.

The 10 inch off the ground thing is to allow the horses enough room to eat the grass below the fence but not high enough to allow them to get in trouble under it.

I also plan on running a single "hot" wire around the top to discourage our mare from testing it too much. My gelding (15 hand, 16 yo quarter horse) will behave himself but I'd like to keep the top of the fence at least 5 feet to discourage my wife's 16 hand gelding from trying to jump it.

I do plan on using the RedBrand fence.

Technically I could go 3 feet deep since I'm using 8 foot timbers for posts. That last 12 inches might be hard to get though.

Thanks for your quick reply,
John
