Electric Fencing is perfectly acceptable for fencing in horses, however polytape (not wire) is recommended for horses. Polytape is much safer than the regular metal electric wire. It's a wide tape, normally white, sometimes with orange or yellow stripes and the horses can see it better. This lessens the chance that they will run through the fence and get tangled in it. Most farm supply stores now carry polytape electric fencing.
