It's not an electric fence - it's easy to see if one is electric because they have an insulator between the post and the wire, typically plastic though ceramic was used in the past. Horses are pretty good about not going through or over a fence but they do at times. And that's actually a heavy duty fence for horses IMO....we ran 3 strands of wire in our pasture and that was good enough.
