Ben has over 30 years of hands-on horse experience with Thoroughbreds and racing, and was born into a family with strong Thoroughbred ties.
For over 15 years now, he has been successfully breeding and racing his own Thoroughbreds along with his wife, Jo at Forest View Farm. With this hands-on experience, constant interaction with horses and horse safety front of mind.
Ben knows only too well how vital a safe fence is. Ben’s father lost four horses to nasty fence injuries when Ben was in his early 20s, and since then, Ben has been on a mission to make fences safer for Australian horses.
As well as being an experienced horseman, Ben has hands-on experience in fencing properties, originally building fences since 1993. He started building vineyards in South West WA and has installed more than a million posts over 12 years!
Ben founded Horserail Australia after spending many months researching a better and safer option than wire for the horses. Fast forward to 2018, the business evolved into the Duncan Equine Group when they started selling a complete fencing system, including horse safe gates and alternative post options.
