Hello equine specialists,
As Long Run was being led in after the King George VI chase yesterday, we noticed that as well as a sheepskin noseband, he was wearing what appeared to be a pair of padded, blue clackers on his bridle, attached to the headpiece and bouncing gently on his offside cheek. I wondered if it was some sort of device to stop him hanging to the right, but just googled (hard to google when you don't know what something's called) and found a suggestion that they were earplugs. I've just looked at a photo of him racing and can't see them, which I guess does suggest that they were in his lugs at the time.
Thanks!
