A protective apparatus to reduce the likelihood that livestock, especially a horse or a cow, will have a limb trapped in the opening between two adjacent fence panels having upper horizontal elements and closely-spaced vertical riser elements. The apparatus includes a U-shaped spanning member that is received over and extends between the upper elements of adjacent fence panels. The apparatus also includes a tail depending from the spanning member and a pair of riser engaging members that extend outwardly on opposite sides of the tail member and in vertical spaced relation to the spanning member. The riser engaging members are sized and shaped to receive respective riser elements of adjacent fence panels.

[ What is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is as follows:] [1.]1. A fence protective apparatus for protecting openings between fence panels; said apparatus comprising:a) a rigid U-shaped spanning member having opposite sides that are sized and shaped to snugly fit over the top of respective fence panels and positioned to face downwardly during use;b) a rigid tail member depending medially from said spanning member;c) first and second rigid U-shaped riser engaging members aligned to have a vertical axis and to face generally in opposite directions from each other; each of said first and second riser engaging members being rigidly secured to said tail member in vertically spaced relation to said spanning member and being sized and shaped to be adapted to snugly receive a fence panel riser element; each of said riser engaging members extending from said tail member in the same direction as respective opposite sides of said spanning member.
