Some discussion recently about using a mirror for a horse that is an "only". I bought a regular door mirror. Husband mounted it on plywood screwed to the perlan. When I first took Bill out to see it, he sniffed it then ran out of the lean to. This morning I saw him sleeping in the corner by it. This afternoon I peeked around and he was standing with his nose almost on it. I don't know what he thinks about it; we'll see how it works out. It is positioned horizontally so it is off the ground. The mirror is firmly screwed to the plywood so it is not flimsy.

I went to visit family in Vancouver. My husband said Billy could be found looking in his mirror while I was gone. I got home last night and could tell he didn't even want to leave his "friend" long enough to do his business outside. I windexed it so he can now see himself better. A good brushing and some scratch time and he is out and about now.

Well, that has me wondering...can a horse get buddy sour for his own reflection? :rolleyes:
I wondered that too. I haven't had him out since the mirror, as I took a trip to Vancouver to see my son. Just got back; looks like a cool-down coming so I can work with him again.
