Electric tape fence can look very nice when installed properly. Unfortunately, too many times I've seen it not well maintained, sagging, twisted (although I'm told twisting it helps by tape-enthusiasts) and overall appearing cobbled together.
Electric tape provides good visibility, which is one of the most important considerations for all horses, but especially the young and frisky. I also have not heard of many horse injuries involving electric tape in comparison to barbed wire, smooth wire or high tensile wire.
Tape fence will require use of a dependable electric fencer or "charger" as it is more of a psychological barrier than a physical one. If your power goes out, so does the effectiveness of your fence. Be careful!
