Blinkers, also known as blinders, blinds and winkers, are a part of horse harness and tack which limits a horse's field of vision—blocking vision to the sides, the rear, or both.[1]: 56 [2] Blinkers are usually seen in horse driving and in horse racing (both harness and ridden), but rarely in horse riding.[3]: 20
