They are called blinders.
If things come up on a horse from the side, they can be spooked.
Blinders helps with that, you will see them on the horses that pull the carriage rides.
That is where the expression "they sure put their blinders on" comes from, for people who choose only to look at what is right in front of them even though looking around would give them the answer they need (not what they are looking for, but what they need).
Hope that helps.

For most purposes, the flat leather ones on bridles, are blinders for driving horses, they keep the horses from seeing beside & behind so the don't spook. There are also blinkers, usually a seperate mask for race horses, some of those allow the horse to see beside but not behind.

They are called blinders. Most driving and carriage horse wear them. This prevents them from looking at the side and getting distracted or spooked by new objects on the streests. it also keeps them looking forward at where they are going

They are called blinkers.
• noun chiefly Brit. 1 (blinkers) a pair of small screens attached to a horse’s bridle to prevent the horse seeing sideways.
Blinkers are used to prevent the horse from spooking at objects to the side and to keep him focused on his job.

blinders. They are to prevent the horse from spooking at things it cannot turn around and see because of the wagon they are pulling. You don't see blinders on riding horses.

Yes blinders...this is where the phrase originates, "You've got your blinders on" when someone is ignoring an obvious problem.
