Please make sure it is stainless steel, or something 101% shatterproof - have been some nasty incidents with acrylic ones: horse kicked, or bitten, or just caught a head collar buckle or something against the mirror - which can shatter into really sharp shards.

I’ve a mirror 3’6” square, stainless steel edges rolled tight round a sturdy timber frame. It’s heavy, very sturdy (rolling horses have occasionally kicked it, put the odd dent in, also tried to chew), is about 20 years old and going strong.
Alcoengineering apparently now do something a similar size, but much lighter and a narrow profile, in stainless steel. I know someone who bought one last year, is v. pleased, but obviously can’t say anything about longevity.
Don’t fix on the back wall, if anything goes past the stable, can startle the horse looking at the reflection inside. A stabled pony on bonfire night became upset at the fireworks both outside and the flashes inside the stable - they had to duct tape a coat across, and re sited mirror the following morning.
