RHYTHM BEADS FOR HORSES
History and purpose of Rhythm Beads.
Decoration has been traditional since people began using horses.
We all know the rhythmic sound of bells coming from a horse drawn sleigh or wagon and who doesn’t remember the beautiful decorated horses of the Native Americans, English Draft horses and the Amish Haflingers?
Rhythm Beads originated during the Roman times.They were reinvented by the Native Americans . Their horses wore beads, feathers and shells to protect against evil spirits, and to provide strength, courage and vitality. They would also help the rider and horse to move as one.
Benefits of the Rhythm Beads
Nowadays, with so much technology and science, the simplicity of the rhythm beads for horses is getting more populair again as it is a very helpful training tool for horse and rider.The soft jingle of the little bells will provide that soft cadence for the horse and rider, that can lead to more consistent gaits and a smoother ride.
Who doesn't have the experiance of a horse being spooked because a deer or fox jumps out of the bush?The Rhythm beads will help your horse stay calm and focussed by eliminating this often so dangerous event, by letting wildlife know far ahead that you are approaching.
Horses that are quickly distracted, will concentrate more on their tasks as the sound of the bells will cover the sounds of the surroundings.
Rhythm Beads are used to enhance a natural rhythm. Like a musician uses a metronome for timed beats, the mild sounds of the bells accentuates the rhythm of the horse’s gaits and encourages your horse to follow a tempo or cadence. You can feel and hear the gaits, the timing and counting of the strides, what is useful for adjusting the tempo of the horse’s movements. The sound of the bells help riders pick up the correct diagonals and proper leads
Besides having a great training tool, these eye catching custom made rhythm beads also look very nice on a horse and are available in many colors and designs to match the color of your horse or pony, your tack and of course, your personal taste!
Eventhough Rhythm Beads are meant for horses they also can be used for house decoration. You can hang them on a wall, in front of your window or at your doors, welcoming your guests with a jolly jingle.
They would do nice too on a porche or hanging from a tree where the wind will move the beads and bells to give a soft soothing sound to your yard. Rhythm Beads can be adjusted to fit the color scheme of your home.
Rhythm Bead necklaces are available with or without matching mane, tail and saddle dangles, and with or without bells and pendants. The strings are made of leather cord or nylon line that both are strong enough for durability but able to break in an emergency.
Rhythm Beads are intended for decoration and used for training aids and riding.
As with any training tool Rhythm Beads should be slowly introduced to your horse
Do not leave on a horse unattended in paddock, pasture, or stall
