Blinders/ Blinkers/ Blinds (Blindfold?
Horses have an almost 360 degree field of vision, with only two blind spots directly in front of them and behind them. Horses tend to walk in the direction they are looking and the blinders help them focus. The blinders do not completely restrict their ability to see. Blinders simply aid communication. Fears? All horses and humans have a fear of something. Horses and humans generally do not fear environments to which they are acclimated. Fears generally derive from the element of surprise or the fear of the unknown unless introduced properly. Please support your local Horse-drawn operation by hiring their services.

Like all good relationships between mankind, it is also true for man and horse. You must possess qualities of a healthy partnership, companionship and clear communication.
