Blinkers, Visors, and Hoods FAQs

Racing blinkers are specially designed headgear that help keep horses focused by limiting their peripheral vision. They’re commonly used in horse racing and eventing to reduce distractions and encourage forward concentration. At Treehouse, our range of racing blinkers is designed for comfort and performance, with lightweight, breathable materials to suit both training and competition.

While both are used to improve focus, horse visors differ from blinkers by featuring small slits in the cups that allow partial side vision. This makes them ideal for horses that benefit from concentration but perform better when they can still see other horses around them. Many trainers use visors when a full blinker setup would feel too restrictive for the horse.

Horse hoods are designed to provide comfort and protection while helping to manage sound and visual distractions. Some hoods include built-in ear covers to reduce noise, keeping nervous or highly sensitive horses calmer during events. Our collection at Treehouse includes a variety of horse hoods suited for racing, cross-country, and schooling.

Horse cheek pieces are fleece-lined straps attached to the bridle that help encourage horses to look straight ahead by narrowing their field of vision. They’re widely used in racing, cross-country, and showjumping to improve focus and enhance performance without the need for full blinkers or visors.

The choice between racing blinkers, horse visors, horse hoods, and horse cheek pieces depends on your horse’s behaviour, temperament, and discipline. For horses easily distracted by surroundings, blinkers or cheek pieces are ideal, while hoods and visors offer more balanced focus and comfort. At Treehouse, we stock a wide range of options to suit different horses, ensuring you can find the right fit for training, racing, or everyday riding.
