Stable mirror - glass or plastic?

[gladelpone]

I have my horse stabled in the mornings as she is a little fat! Unfortunately she is on her own so I thought I'd get her a mirror for the stable. My mum has an old glass one I can have that can be screwed onto the wall at all 4 corners so it will be very secure. Do people use the newer light weight plastic versions instead? I realise that its probably safer to have the plastic ones but interested to see what other people use.

Got an acrylic one from ebay and was really good value at £35 with postage, arrived next day with screws and pre drilled holes. I wouldnt use a glass mirror for the sake of £35

I wouldn't use a glass one...........Use acrylic or steel

Do not use the glass one!

Ebay have loads of plastic mirrors that will be safe for your horse to have in the stable

Good luck they are worth the money

Hello!
I know Glade is as good as gold, but I wouldn't risk a glass one. It would only take something silly to spook her and the consequences could be horrific
