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 20 years now, he has been successfully breeding and racing his own Thoroughbreds 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.
