Use the electric poly tape, not the traditional wire, which is more for other livestock such as cattle, pigs, etc. The polytape is wide, colored bright white, or yellow and white, and much easier for the horses to see, so they are less likely to run into it and tear it down or hurt themselves. There are also many types of wooden rail fences and plastic and rubber coated rail fences. Most horse magazines have advertisements all throughout and especially in the back in the advertisement section that will give you lots of ideas of the types of fencing available.
