I
wonder if I am missing the point but I suspect 2 totally different things are
being discussed. This seems very simple. A cattle grid is not a horse gate, and
I have no comment on the name for that. Cattle grids are designed to allow
wheeled things (like cars) to go through the gap in the fence without having a
gate and thus to retain cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep won't cross them. I
expect horses wouldn't either.
These
horse gates are designed also usually alongside a fence, to allow horses
(presumably guided by a rider) to step through them, when wheeled things
obviously can't, whereas cattle and sheep won't or can't cross them because they
can't step so high.
