Hedges/Vines around a turnout- help!

[Miss Motivation]

We are turning a miserable grass turnout into a turnout/small arena with professional footing. It's near our house and even with sprinklers, dust will be an issue, so I want to surround it with vines or hedges that can use the pipe arena rails for support.

Any suggestions for tough, non-toxic, fast-growing vines or hedges for this area? Mostly will be used for baby lessons and some turnout, so horses will have munch access when turned out.

(I'm thinking a drought tolerant, kudzu-speed-growing, dense flowering-all-year vine with a secret ingredient that makes horses refuse to even nuzzle it!)

Sunset zone 19, inland valley California, so has to be tough.

Any ideas?

Ack, please no invasive species! I would check with your native plant society (just google it). Here in NC, our native wisteria (NOT the forest choking asian stuff) grows, FASTER than the kudzu in spring and early summer and is a lovely vine around my porch.

Grapevine is a good idea too.

grapevine will not last 2 days before the horses eat it. They will grab little tendrils as they poke through and pull the whole vine down. Ask me and my gelding how we know this. They also like roses...although I always thought a rambling rose on a fence was the most gorgeous thing. They bloom densely and are reasonably fast growers. However if they have other forage they are likely to leave the rose alone due to the thorns. Grapes, not so much- my guy actively sought out the one grapevine on the property the time he got loose, made a beeline for it and ripped down about 20 feet of fruit laden vine before I could stop him, completely ignoring the lush lawn grass he had to run across to get to the vine.

I'm quasi joking here but just for giggles I threw some gourd seeds onto the ground between my barn and one of the pastures. It's a narrow strip. About 36x50 maybe? Just kind of an empty area I'm not sure what to do with.

Geez Louise.

Everyone is getting birdhouse gourds for Christmas. Vines everywhere, livestock don't touch them (not even the goat), fences covered and gourds gourds gourds.
