Best Answer

Hooded Bridges or "Covered Bridges" were important when horse travel was common. Horses are very reluctant to cross an uncovered bridge. They often will refuse to cross such a bridge, fearing they will fall into the water below. Covered bridges give the horse the illusion that they are entering a barn, because they cannot see the water below, and they do not balk crossing such a bridge.
