Am i experiencing a Mandela Effect? I thought it was horse blinders.

  Seems they are both used, with blinders being slightly more common in America: http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?614445-Blinders-or-Blinkers-and-which-one-is-American http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?614445-... This made me do a double take as well though!

    Me too. As an American I have only ever heard "blinders"... I almost posted a connect to "correct" the author then I decided to Google it and low and behold... they are both correct in common usage.

      If that horse-related spelling surprised you, this one will blow your mind: the expression "chomping at the bit" is wrong; it's actually "champing at the bit" (with an "a")!
