Billy, I've got a couple mustangs and a couple burros. When we brought the horses home, one didn't learn until it run through the fence the first time but when they are running full bore then they probably don't notice the shock anyway. Same thing with the burros as one of them ran through the fence while carousing around in the corral.
They can feel it in the wire through their nose or whatever and I see them feeding on grass under the fence with the hot wire a half inch away from their forehead. I used to keep a wire across the gate to keep them from leaning on the gate but then they wouldn't want to go through the gate without a lot of prodding.
I run 2 wires at 2' and 4'. Have to be low enough they can't lay down and roll under it and tall enough they can't be tempted to jump it. I've watched them stand next to a 3' fence and jump it. Horses have been known to just side up to a fence and roll over it.
I also keep a gapped spark plug hooked to the fence with an old spark plug wire and regular wire wrapped around the threads going to ground. It zaps every fourth time or so which lets them and me know the fence is working. At night you can see the spark at a distance.
No hot wire is going to stop your stallion if a mare in heat comes by.
