You don't need an electric fence with horses, because they are the most easily contained of any animal. Probably 'cause they're lazy and just not all that bright. :>)
If they know where the fence is, they won't cross it; one tiny strand of kite string will hold 'em, unless of course, they are all worked up.
Besides that, electrical fences really ruin a horse; they have a memory that won't quit.

I need to send a couple horses to you two and let you tell them that. I've got a mare that will walk the line until she (smells??) a weak spot and ducks under like a deer. She had two babies and passed it on to both of them. One would watch me turn the fence off and duck under until I faked him out a couple times. One will time the pulses and slip under but he just sold and will be picked up on the weekend.
