Fitting your Mirror

Your Amigo stable mirror will arrive to you with clear instructions, all the fitments required, pre drilled and a clear plastic cover for protection, making your installation process quick and easy... even for the novice DIYer !

Although simple, Amigo stable mirrors must be fitted properly to ensure optimum performance and safety.  They are strong and their reflective qualities are good but they need to be mounted completely flat to avoid distortions as they are flexible.  They should be mounted to a solid wood backing such as plywood or MDF.  If you have a flat plywood lined wall then they can be mounted to that at an appropriate height.

If you have an unlined timber stable you MUST fit a solid back board /backing plate between the joists and mount the stable mirror to this. 

Fit your mirror at a height where your horse or pony can see into it at a normal relaxed head height.  The optimum height will vary from horse to horse and particularly ponies.   Your horse/pony must be able to see itself, full face, from its normal relaxed head carriage position.

Research has shown that a distance of 0.5m or thereabouts to one side of the door is a suitable position.  However fitting it close to a source of food or water is not advisable. Your horse may think it has a competitor trying to steal its food!
