[TowerTalk] (Trashed by Horses) was 43' verticals

I have a few acres out back, and have never put anything up back there, for
fear the horses would eat it, tear it up, or at least trample it.  Does
anyone have a simple, relatively easy way to "horse proof" radials?

I've got room for a nifty four square :-)

I have one of those still in a box and one that was trashed by our horses.
They get out ok.  Very very very narrow bandwidth.  The coil is pretty
small.

Take a look at the Cushcraft MA-160V. Similar concept only a lot taller.
