Most of the images show open (blinker-less) bridles, but there is some evidence for blinker/winker use.
The Egyptians had projections near the browband that may have served as blinkers (red circle above). The projections are subtle in extant works and more prominent in 19th century redrawings.
The 15th century yields clearer examples. Redrawing can create flawed evidence. However, Castello de la Manta confirmed that the frescos are unaltered.
In the mid sixteenth century, we have written evidence of winkers use to focus ridden horses.
