LEGAL
Regulatory Show-Ring Compliance
Certified compliant with FEI, British Dressage (BD), and British Eventing (BE) competitive rules.
Optimize show-ring focus, eliminate distractions, and support focus. The EcoRider Leather Blinkers are our bestselling removable bridle accessories, engineered specifically for horses that become tense, unfocused, or distracted by arena environments, crowds, or jump wings.
Hand-crafted from our premium, vegetable-tanned EcoLeather and treated with EcoRider's natural beeswax formula, these blinkers are designed to fit onto standard 5/8" (16mm) cheekpieces using a secure, low-profile velcro wrap-around attachment. By concentrating the horse's forward field of vision, they limit peripheral distractions, helping your horse remain completely dialed-in and settled. Fully compliant with FEI and national showing rules, they are a practical and highly effective training and competition tool.
Key Performance Features:
- FEI Compliant: Fully legal for use under FEI competition rules, making them ideal for showjumping, eventing, and other regulated arenas.
- Vision Concentration: Sleek 5" (12.5cm) x 1.25" (3.5cm) dimensions reduce the peripheral field of vision without restricting forward sight lines, preventing spooking.
- Velcro Wrap-Around Attachment: Strong, heavy-duty velcro tabs wrap cleanly around standard 5/8" cheekpieces, allowing you to attach or remove them in seconds without dismantling the bridle.
- Supple EcoLeather Construction: Hand-crafted from naturally vegetable-tanned eco-leather, ensuring they sit flush against the cheeks and grow more comfortable over time.
- REACH-Compliant Eco-Leather: Naturally vegetable-tanned over several weeks to ensure a breathable, hypoallergenic, and exceptionally skin-kind finish.
Anatomical Configuration
Horses possess a wide, panoramic field of vision that makes them highly sensitive to peripheral movement, such as flapping flags, jumping wings, and crowd activity. This sensory overload activates the nervous system, leading to poll tension and head-tossing. Leather Blinkers gently restrict this peripheral field of vision. By blocking distracting movement, they prevent visual startle responses and help the horse maintain focus.
Material Integrity & Care
Dynamic Fit Tip
💡 Pro-Tip: Fasten the blinkers tightly around your 5/8" cheekpieces, ensuring they sit aligned and flush against the leather. Position them high enough on the cheeks that they do not rub the outer corners of the horse's eyes or interfere with the noseband straps.
