1. A hybrid fence assembly comprising:
a flexible polymer mesh structure having opposite ends, a horizontal length between said ends, and a vertical height; and
at least one electrically-chargeable horizontal conducting wire integrated with said polymer mesh structure and extending between said opposite ends along said horizontal length; and
an electric fence energizer operatively connected to said at least one electrically-chargeable horizontal conducting wire to electrically charge said at least one electrically-chargeable horizontal conducting wire, such that when an animal touches said at least one electrically-chargeable horizontal conducting wire when charged by the electric fence energizer, an electric current passes from an exterior of said at least one electrically-chargeable horizontal conducting wire through the animal causing the animal to receive an electric shock.
