What are Blinkers?

Blinkers are a piece of headgear used on horses to try and help them concentrate during a race. Effectively, semi-circled cups, the blinkers are used to make sure a horse focuses on what is going on ahead, as the blinkers stop them from seeing behind them, and sometimes to the side.

What is a Hood?

A hood is an item of headgear which covers the horse's ears, but doesn't cover any part of their sight. Often used to relax a horse, who maybe nervous of noisy crowds, a hood isn't used as much as blinkers, but can still be a useful tool used by trainers to aid a horse's chance of winning.

What is a Tongue Strap?

A tongue strap is a band that is wrapped around a horse's tongue and then tied around the lower jaw. It is used to assist a horse with its breathing during a race, and can prove popular with trainers in Flat or National Hunt racing.

What is a Visor?

Visors are similar to blinkers, but the difference with a visor is that they have a slit cut in the side of them, so the horse is able to see something adjacent to them. Yet again used as a concentration mechanism, a visor can often been used to try and turn a horse's form around, as the trainers look to get their horses to concentrate.
