Agree.....getting a mini as a companion is a good idea..........but there are downsides, much as I love shetties. If working full time,have horses at livery, have a limited budget....then one extra (even a mini) means, extra cost, extra work management due to laminitus problems....even on good grazing, shetties seem to think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and are amazing escapologists.
Equine Mirrors are used extensively in racing stables, and you could not get more hyper and stressed than fit racehorses!! A horse is not capable of recognising it`s own reflection, so feel horse mirrors must work and are worth a try. If not, at least you can sell the mirror and wont have to worry who buys it. Much bigger problem if you give a home to a shettie and find your problem is not resolved
