Some horses tend to be 'spooky' or they shy from certain things in the environment. The way a horse's eye works, it has a very large field of peripherial vision, simply put, the horse can see almost to his own tail. Winkers or blinders as they are sometimes called, keep the horse looking forward and focused on what is in front of him. He is not able to spook at things to both sides when wearing blinders.
