The fences feature two verticals which are closed together in order to make the jump wider. Oxers are also known as spreads. They have two poles or equal heights or can be of different heights. Oxers with top poles of equal heights are called  box oxers or square oxers. Oxers with the furthest pole higher than the first are known as ascending oxers.
