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.
