Introducing mirrors to horses

I bought a horse fairly recently, and I have a feeling that he has never seen a mirror before. I took him to a local venue and he refused to go in one of their schools because there was a mirror opposite the entrance of the school. How would you introduce a horse to mirrors? He seemed genuinely really terrified of it. Should I lead him up to the mirror (we use this venue quite frequently so he has to be OK about mirrors :P) in hand, let him have a sniff at it? Will this problem be curable? He's quite young which is why I think he's never seen one before.

Thanks for any advice
