  • Equipment worn on the bridle to restrict a horse's vision on the sides to help maintain attention and avoid distractions.
  • mostly to keep horses to wach only what is in frount of it. For example, a race horse had to wear a 'hood'(blinkers) because a horse fell under it while passing on the outside. He spooked whenever a horse passed him there, so they blocked his vision on that eye so that the horse could not see how close his opponent was to that side until it was a little in in frount of him. Therefore, he was not startled when a horse tried to pass him on that side. It would not suddenly scare him either because he could still hear his opponent. Here is a pic of the racehorse Secretariat with a 'hood' on:
  • Flashers. Good for attention seeking behavior.
  • Turn signals. Mr. Pants is a blinker *blink* *blink*
  • People who wink with both eyes at the same time.
