Ok so these 2 pictures sent me down a rabbit hole I am Not going to expand on at length about. I am just dumping them on here.

The tldr train of thought was ‘is that upper part of the bridle meant to be used as a blindfold’ and ‘if so, why is it on a finished bridle horse’ BECAUSE I have only ever seen blindfolding involved in breaking horses.

Ex: lots of criollo stuff on instagram

In breaking (1st pic) and 2nd I think is the sportier jineteada. Both involve snugging a horse to a post and blindfolding them to keep them quiet while rider goes on.

A lot of Old Cowboy art and some pictures seem to depict the same blindfoldage

So again, why on a finished bridle horse? I knew I had seen similar additions on Fancy Horse bridles in the past but couldn’t recall exactly from where. I’ll spare posting pics of Everything but Berber or barb horses in Morocco doing the tbourida/fantasia performances have fancy blinders that seem extensive enough to almost qualify as blindfolds. I found a few other things too but then finally ran into this:

‘Tapa ojos used to prevent horse from wandering.’ So essentially the same as hobbles, an alternate to tying. I have no idea if that’s accurate BUT it would make the top 2 pics make more sense. A lot of finished bridle horses and general broke cow horses would be hobbled vs tied and still are today when working in places with no trees/places to tie.

Not sure how common this practice might have been or how prevalent, or what historical training threads connect a rider in Montana with tapa ojos in Peru, but it makes sense since there are so many shared practices all thru the Americas. Cowboys be cowboying

Moroccan horsemen dressed in traditional Berber clothing, engaging in what appears to be a display of Tbourida, a centuries-old equestrian tradition. The men, each holding rifles and mounted on majestic horses, symbolize the strength, courage, and cultural heritage of the Berber people. The smoky background and the rugged mountainous terrain evoke a sense of historical grandeur and the intense spirit of these warriors, making this a powerful depiction of North African tradition and history.

Morocco Still Loves A Good Medieval Cavalry Charge

The Moroccan tradition of Fantasia is a stylized reenactment of a wartime cavalry charge. If done perfectly, a group of horsemen charge in unison, then shoot their muskets at precisely the same time. The audience should hear only one sound. (For those worried, the guns are loaded only with gunpowder, no bullets.)

Also known as lab al baroud (Arabic for “gunpowder game”) or Tbourida, it is practiced in a couple of North African countries and dates back to the 700s CE. During the Islamic Golden Age, only the cavalry charge was practiced. Around the 1200s, the now-traditional musket firing was added. Used to intimidate enemies or impress visitors, the stylized war game would be performed before sultans and kings as well as at local events, like festivals.

Today, Fantasia competitions happen at weddings and the harvest festival. It is practiced by both Arab and Berber communities. And, increasingly, by women. Making Fantasia a sort of unifying national sport in Morocco.
