Titan Rail at Equitana Melbourne

Think Fencing’s Titan Rail -
The Thoroughbred of Horse-Safe Fencing

When it comes to horse safety and fencing innovation, few names resonate as strongly as Think Fencing. Founded over 25 years ago by horse lover and engineer Jack Fitzgerald, this Australian family business has pioneered the development of safe, durable, and environmentally conscious fencing solutions that have become essential to equine properties worldwide. Now, as a sponsor of Equitana, Australia’s largest equine trade show, Think Fencing is proudly showcasing its horse safe fencing product, Titan Rail, which has transformed the landscape of horse-safe fencing.

A History of Innovation Rooted in Family Values

Think Fencing’s story began in 1999 when Jack Fitzgerald, deeply affected by a personal experience of seeing his beloved horse tangled in a traditional wire fence, set out to create a safer alternative. “That moment changed everything for me,” Jack recalls. “I knew I had to design a fencing system that would prevent such injuries while still being practical and long-lasting.” Driven by this goal, Jack developed the company’s first product, Zappa Rail, which later evolved into Titan Rail—a composite fencing system designed to be tough and resilient yet gentle on horses.

Titan Rail continues to be one of the most innovative products in equestrian fencing today. Manufactured in rural Victoria at Think Fencing’s state-of-the-art facility, the system is composed of durable composite materials that are UV-stabilised and offer unmatched safety for livestock. With hundreds of kilometres installed across Australia, Asia, and the Americas, Titan Rail is an enduring testament to Think Fencing’s leadership in the industry.
“We’ve always been about innovation,” Jack says. “Every fence design we produce is extensively tested for safety, durability, and ease of installation. We’re constantly improving and adapting our products to meet the needs of our customers, from large-scale racetracks to small lifestyle blocks.”

Titan Rail: A Superior Fencing Solution for the Equestrian World

At the heart of Think Fencing’s success is the versatility and reliability of Titan Rail. With three high-tensile wires integrated into the rail, Titan Rail offers exceptional strength – a 2000kg breaking strain – while being safe and aesthetically pleasing. The product is fully electrifiable on the top and bottom wire as standard, with a standard energiser, ensuring that horse owners can enhance the safety of their properties without extensive additional equipment.

Designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate, Titan Rail is made from high-tech composite materials that do not warp or discolour in the sun. “We know the concerns horse owners have about plastic,” Jack explains, “but our Longranger post PVC fencing is not only incredibly strong and durable, it’s also eco-friendly. In fact, our Longranger post system is the only fully recycled Australian made PVC post that can be driven into the ground and resist warping. Think Fencing have in-house recycling capabilities to ensure we’re reducing our environmental footprint.”

Titan Rail’s commitment to sustainability extends throughout its lifecycle, from design and production to installation and maintenance. Unlike traditional timber fences, Titan Rail never requires painting and is built to last for decades. Think Fencing confidently backs the system with a 30-year warranty, giving horse owners peace of mind that their investment is well-protected.

Trusted Partnerships: Think Fencing and Whites Rural

Another key to Think Fencing’s success is its partnership with Whites Rural, a national fencing business and an equally trusted name in rural Australia. Whites Rural is more than just a distributor for Titan Rail—it’s a family business run by Jack Fitzgerald’s uncle and cousins, meaning the synergy between the two companies goes far beyond commercial cooperation. “It’s a genuine family operation,” Jack proudly shares. “Between Think Fencing and Whites Rural, we have over 100 years of experience in the fencing industry, and that shared knowledge allows us to offer the best possible service and support to our customers.”

Whites Rural ensures that after-sales support for Titan Rail is always close by, no matter where in Australia a customer is located. There are presently over thirty stockists nationally and growing. This partnership guarantees that both large-scale operations like thoroughbred breeders and smaller rural properties can access the fencing systems and expertise they need with ease.

Tailored Solutions for Every Customer

One of the hallmarks of Think Fencing is its ability to cater to the diverse needs of its clients, from large commercial operations to families on rural lifestyle blocks. Whether you’re a horse breeder managing multiple stud farms or a family setting up your dream property, Titan Rail offers a fencing solution to fit your specific requirements.

Jack Fitzgerald explains, “We know that every horse owner’s needs are different, which is why we’ve made sure Titan Rail will suit any property. And for those who are handy and want to save on installation costs, Titan Rail is designed for easy DIY installation. We provide detailed guides and video tutorials to make the process as simple as possible.”

For those who prefer professional installation, Think Fencing also has a network of accredited installers familiar with the product who can ensure a seamless and efficient setup.

Think Fencing at Equitana: Leading the Charge in Horse Safety

As Think Fencing and Whites Rural prepare to support Equitana, the company highlights its commitment to innovation and sustainability. Equitana is a fitting venue for Think Fencing to connect with new and existing customers, particularly those in the equestrian sector, including racetracks, horse studs, and families with horses. “Equitana is the perfect platform for us to showcase Titan Rail to an audience that understands the importance of horse-safe fencing,” says Jack Fitzgerald. “We’re excited to engage with horse owners, breeders, and industry professionals to demonstrate how our products can improve the safety and value of their properties.”

Visitors to the Titan Rail exhibit at Equitana can learn more about the technical features of the advanced system, more on the company’s broader range of composite fencing systems, including the Longranger post, featuring advanced technology developed jointly with the CSIRO. They will also gain insights into the company’s commitment to sustainability, including its recycling program for PVC materials and plans for further innovation in the future.

Continuing a Legacy of Innovation

As Think Fencing continues to expand its global reach, one thing remains constant: the company’s unwavering dedication to providing safe, durable, and environmentally friendly fencing solutions that meet the needs of its customers. With strong family values and a focus on innovation, Think Fencing has earned its place as a trusted leader in the fencing industry—and Titan Rail is a shining example of that legacy.

For anyone attending Equitana this year, a visit to the Think Fencing display promises to be an insightful experience, offering a closer look at the company’s exceptional products and its enduring commitment to horse safety and customer satisfaction.
