What did you do today?

Even better idea: put strips of tin foil on the fence in a few places. The fluttering makes them curious and they usually will touch it with a nose or tongue. It's how a lot of folks teach goats to respect electric fences. Seems mean, but it's a heck of a lot kinder than having them try to jump through, get tangled, and end up strangled/shocked to death. I don't think putting foil on the horns would do much good. Horned goats usually check things out with their noses/tongues first just like hornless ones. None of my horned goats ever mess with electric fences any more than the hornless ones. But when it comes to metal gates, the hornless goats have the escape advantage (except Finn--Finn can clear just about any fence or gate in a single leap, although he seems leery to try jumping an electric fence--there's a psychological barrier there).

Hello Nanno
I like your idea of putting "metal" foil on the electric fence line and the reasoning behind it.
Problem here with what I want to use is with Bi-Polar it would "Short" out the fence.
BI-Polar carries both the HOT and GROUND on the same tape
Common electric fence using ground conduction your foil idea will work good.
I "Mark" all my horse Electric fence wire (conventional steel wire) with long streamers of construction Ribbon.
#1 for visibility  to the horses.
#2 It makes it easy for me to see if there is a section of fence down that I need to go out and work on.
#3 Don't worry I consider Barbed Wire Mean, Electric Fence and animals "Trained to Respect it" is humane. 
#4 Jumping a fence like Finn you can not do much about. that is when you need to depend on the "Herd" bonding 
#5 Dooly who you met on your visit here is a RET Hunter Jumper he can still clear a 4 foot jump at close to 18 years old. Polar and Trader in their teens can clear a 4 foot fence still. Addie (Black Filly) will do better IF I decide to go that way with her (Not likely )
#6 The "Fix" on the Red Neck Goat Shed to keep the Kids in seems to be working, no escapes. : So Far 
Happy Trails
