Rhythm Beads are more than merely a fun, colourful necklace for your horse! A set of Natural Horsemanship Rhythm Beads will quite often have a very calming effect for both horse and rider. The soft and rhythmic jingle of the bells helps to eliminate outside distractions that might startle and spook your horse, while at the same time providing a soft rhythm that frequently helps the horse to move into a more even and consistent gait. This same soft rhythm has been very beneficial to many riders that might be having a little difficulty keeping their own movements coordinated with those of their horse.
Rhythm Beads have become popular in the sport of Endurance Riding in the past few years. Because these horse & rider teams are traveling long distances, the calming and relaxing benefits of the Rhythm Beads have been very welcomed. Another very appreciated bonus in the use of Rhythm Beads while Endurance Riding/Training is that the continued jingle of the bells has been very helpful in keeping both the horse and rider more focused on such a long ride.
The Gaited Horse Communities have been noticing that the addition of the bells seems to encourage their Gaited Horses to accentuate their gaits even more than usual. Many have commented that it is almost like their horse is enjoying the rhythm of the bells and really getting into the musical rhythm that they are producing.
Something taken into consideration by many is the believed impact of various colours on a person or animal's being. This might be something you would like to consider if you are having trouble picking out a colour pattern for your Rhythm Beads.

Whether you choose to study the various colours and their assumed influences, or you just want to match up colours to some of your other horse tack - the important thing to remember is to have fun with your horse! Keep life interesting and enjoyable for both you and your horse partner!

You and your horse will find the sound of the bells to be very comforting once you have both become accustomed to them. Not to mention that you will be the envy of all the other horse owners in the area once they see how beautifully dressed your horse is! Please do not leave a set of Rhythm Beads on your horse unattended for basic safety reasons.
Maintenance: If your bells get a build up of tarnish due to horse sweat simply clean with some brasso or similar. When not in use store in a dry place wrapped in natural cotton.

Rhythm Beads are not new to the horse scene. The Native Americans would adorn their horses with beads, shells, feathers, etc. It was believed that these adornments held great powers that would keep a horse and his rider safe during times of danger as well as assisting them in moving as one.
The various decorations placed on a horse during those early days would also show a tribe member's rank in the tribe. The beads, shells, feathers, etc. did not come easy - they had to be earned. The beauty of these
costumed horse and rider
teams is undeniable.
