The invention is a guard for a fence or gate post. In use, the guard is located about or proximate the base of the post and secured using anchoring means such as pegs that are inserted through at least two channels running between the top and bottom surfaces of the body of the guard such that they penetrate the ground. When positioned in this manner, the front face of the invention, which is outwardly curved, provides a smooth contact surface against which a hose or irrigation pod may bear should it contact the invention as it is being towed or dragged past. There is a reduced risk of the hose or pod being damaged or sudden application of tension which may otherwise cause the user of a vehicle towing the hose to fall or be injured against a part of the towing vehicle.
