Yes,horses are very much affected by an electric shock. My friend boards horses. He has boarded horses for years.

Assuming what you meant to ask was "How do you stop your horse from chewing wood", I would suggest an electric fence wire lining the post rail fencing in the horses paddock. The fence wire sends a mild electric pulse when the horse touches it, teaching him not to touch the fence therefore not to chew the fence. If your horse was chewing on a rug or bandages though, for example, I would buy a pepper spray bottle from your local saddlery. It is a unique formula of spices that tastes 'hot' when the horse chews on whatever it has been sprayed on, teaching him not to chew.
