Fence post stay for wire fences

A fence post stay for supporting a first post in a wire fence having a plurality of wires, the stay comprising:

• a first tubular collar, a second tubular collar, and a third tubular collar;
• an elongate first member connected to and extending between the first and second tubular collars, the first tubular collar comprising an attachment extension for receiving the first member, wherein the attachment extension is fixedly coupled to the first tubular collar and extends away therefrom, wherein the first member is separably coupled to the attachment extension at a first attachment location spaced away from the first tubular collar, and wherein the first member and the second tubular collar are fixedly coupled;
• and
• an elongate second member connected to and extending between the first tubular collar and the third tubular collar, wherein the second member and the third tubular collar are fixedly coupled;
• wherein the first tubular collar is sized and shaped to operably enclose around the first post, the second tubular collar is sized and shaped to operably enclose around an adjacent second post, and the third tubular collar is sized and shaped to operably enclose around the second post or an adjacent third post, such that a tension force exerted by the plurality of wires on the first post is at least partially directed through the stay to:
• (i) the second post;
• or (ii) the second post and the third post.
