Why Put Cheekpieces on a Horse?
Many trainers apply cheekpieces on a horse to help the horse concentrate and avoid distractions.
Most use sheepskin cheekpieces with the exception of some who use extra-large French blinkers.
All cheekpieces partially obscure the horse’s vision, which results in the horse focusing on what it can see in front of them.
The application of cheek-pieces means the racehorse cannot see what is directly behind in its peripheral vision to aid concentration.
How do you Know if a Horse is Wearing Cheekpieces?
You know if a horse is wearing cheekpieces because, in the daily racecards, you will see a ‘p’ beside the horse’s weight.
You may also see a 1, after the letter p, indicating this will be the first time they will be wearing cheekpieces.
Here is an example of a horse racing racecard which shows “p1” beside the racehorse weight to highlight the horse is running in cheekpieces for the 1st time.
The p1 symbol indicates cheekpieces and the number one indicates it is the first time wearing the application of cheekpieces.
Summary of Racehorses Wearing Cheekpieces Today
Racehorses wear all types of headgear when running in order to help maintain focus.
Headgear ranges from blinkers, and visors to other applications such as applying the hood to settle the horse.
The application of aids, such as cheekpieces can often improve a horse’s performance and for that reason, many punters like to follow and bet on horses who are wearing them.
