Scheuklappen & Ohrenschutz 🐴 Fiaker Paul räumt mit den Mythen auf! | zoos.media

Do Fiaker horses in Vienna’s city center wear blinders to keep them from getting scared? And do those distinctive ear bonnets serve as noise protection to deafen the horses? Marco Pollandt from Fiaker Paul & Riding Dinner busts the biggest myths surrounding the headgear worn by carriage horses. Right in Vienna, the expert demonstrates the traditional driving harness and explains the technical purpose and true meaning behind the accessories. He explains the basics of the individual components of the headgear: 👉 Why a common German name for blinkers is wrong, and why even the Romans and Egyptians used them for communication when driving teams of horses. 👉 The vital safety function the connection piece performs during daily use. 👉 The real reason behind the ear bonnets — why some horses wear them and the different types available. Fiaker Paul and @ridingdinner9487 employ horses that are truly suited to this work. They have been bred for this specific purpose for generations. That is why they cope so well with the conditions in Vienna — including the temperatures. » Find out more here:    • Fiaker Paul: Studie zur HITZE in Wien 🐴 | ...   Fiacres are as much a part of Vienna as gondolas are of Venice.
