They are best for showjumpers and schooling horses that get distracted by movement, crowds or activity at the side of the arena.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause they fasten with hook and loop straps rather than buckles or bridle loops, they can be added to an existing bridle in seconds and removed just as quickly, making them practical for riders who only want blinkers for certain classes or sessions. They are FEI compliant, so they can be used where blinkers are permitted under the rules of the relevant discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannelled vision:\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped cups narrow the field of view to help the horse stay focused forward\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-oiled leather:\u003c\/strong\u003e supple, traditional finish that softens further with use and conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook and loop tape attachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e fits around bridle cheekpieces without dismantling the bridle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable positioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e slide up or down the cheekpiece to suit the individual horse's head\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFEI compliant:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for affiliated use where blinkers are permitted\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile:\u003c\/strong\u003e showjumping, cross-country schooling, flatwork and in-hand work\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeMieux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBridle blinkers (sold as a pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-oiled leather\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttachment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHook and loop tape straps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompliance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFEI compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorse, pony, cob and warmblood bridles with standard cheekpieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShowjumping, schooling, general riding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eFit and adjust the bridle on your horse as normal before attaching the blinkers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWrap the hook and loop strap of each blinker around a bridle cheekpiece and press firmly to secure.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSlide each blinker up or down so the cup sits level with the eye, with clear forward vision and no contact with the eye itself.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck both sides are level and that the leather does not rub against the cheekbone or browband.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduce the blinkers in a familiar arena for a few short sessions before using them at a competition.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAfter use, wipe the leather clean, dry naturally away from heat and condition regularly with leather balm or oil.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more bridlework and tack in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bridles\"\u003ebridles collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do blinkers do for a horse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlinkers are shaped to channel the horse's vision forward, limiting side-on distractions.
