Blinkers
Panels attached to a Bridle that limit peripheral vision.
Definition
Blinkers, sometimes called blinders, are panels attached to a Pony Play Bridle that reduce peripheral vision. They are used in some driving and dressage contexts to focus the Pony's attention and are sometimes chosen for their ceremonial or sensory effect rather than practical necessity.
Historical background
The Blinker adapts equestrian gear, used selectively within Pony Play communities.
Discussion
Blinker use raises questions of orientation and safety. Many Stables advise using them only in controlled environments.
