3 rail will hold horses, even a couple mini's which I run with the big horses as baby sitters. On occasion a foal will lie down by 3 rail and roll under it when they get up...so most broodmare operations use 4 board.
Rail fences are a challenge with cattle since they push on the boards more than horses. Boards must be inside the posts and most cattle ops run an electric wire inside the fence.
High quality 3 rail fence is about $60/per panel (16 ft). use Oak not poplar planks which horses eat like candy. Poplar is staighter but becomes the incredible disappearing fence. That price is for driven posts. If you have rock to drill it is $25 per hole.
We all paint our fences black because they look better much longer. White fences show wear in a year. One local farm has tan fences and another has dark green. They look good too.
If you are looking at the hollow vinyl fence, I know nothing about it personally, but have not heard good reports. Some people say it will not hold horses. (You do not want a lawsuit from a horse or cow that walked thru the fence and into the path of a vehicle).
If you are really set on plastic fence check out Centaur Poly. It is great stuff but expensive and hard to install. But lasts forever.
