Blinkers
Blinkers, also known as winkers, are devices fitted to horses' blinkers to restrict their peripheral vision. They are commonly used in harness racing, but also find application in other equestrian disciplines.
Material:
Traditionally, blinkers were constructed from leather or a similar durable, yet pliable material. Modern blinkers are frequently made from molded plastic, rubber, or nylon. The lining is often padded for comfort.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of blinkers is to prevent horses from becoming distracted by activity on their sides, such as other horses, spectators, or objects in the environment. By limiting the field of vision, blinkers encourage the horse to focus on the track ahead and maintain a consistent stride.
Function:
- Reduced Distraction: The most significant function is to minimize visual stimuli that could cause a horse to swerve, slow down, or become unsettled.
- Improved Focus: By concentrating vision forward, blinkers help the horse stay on course and respond to the driver’s cues.
- Enhanced Safety: In racing, blinkers can reduce the risk of collisions caused by sudden movements or reactions to surrounding horses.
Usage Scenarios:
- Harness Racing: This is the most common application. Horses typically wear blinkers throughout the race.
- Polo: Blinkers may be used to help horses maintain focus in the fast-paced environment of a polo match.
- Driving Trials: Some drivers use blinkers during competitions to improve concentration.
- Training: Blinkers can be employed during training to acclimate horses to racing conditions or to address specific behavioral issues.
Common Types:
- Full Blinkers: These completely block peripheral vision, offering the highest level of restriction.
- Half Blinkers: These allow some limited peripheral vision, providing a balance between restriction and awareness.
- Cheek Blinkers: Smaller blinkers that cover only the area around the eyes, offering minimal restriction.
- Racing Blinkers: Specifically designed for harness racing, often with a molded shape for optimal fit and performance.
- Removable Blinkers: These attach to the bridle and can be easily removed or adjusted.
