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.
The electric fence was first developed in New Zealand between 1936 and 1937. The original patent application was submitted by the inventor Bill Gallagher.

Wooden fencing is the best kind, though it can be expensive! Electric fencing works, but they require lots of maintenance, and vinyl fences last the longest. If you're looking for cheap stuff, woven wire fencing is the best. Rope fences work as temporary fencing, though never for a permanent fence. AVOID BARBED WIRE, but if you must use it, replace all rusty wire, and constantly check it to make sure it is strung tight and not lying loose on the ground, where horse's can step on it.
For purchasing new fencing supplies or accessories go to Sears department store or their online shop. They have wide range of fencing in styles and materials.
I would say a wooden fence with at least one strand of electric wire above the fence. So that way your horse won't try to get out or ruin the fence for the wire will shock him/her, and don't worry it doesn't hurt that bad. It will just discourage the horse from trying anything stupid.
