Horse Beads (or Rythym Beads)

[bicky]

Does anyone have any of these for their horses?

I got some as a belated crimbo pressie and they are really lovely. Some natural colours, some purple colours and they have 3 bells on them. The horse wears them around the neck and they attach with a safety clip to the mane. I also have a friend who has some and she uses them when she rides her huge shire gelding.

Aparently they help with rythym and have a calming effect on your horse. Not that Kinzzy needs anything to calm her down. They are popular with natural horsemanship enthusiasts!

(I think that means us lot!) Cheers!

I have thought about getting a set of these for a while, as people say they are very helpful. Don't know how Hamish will cope with wearing a necklace though LOL!!

I have some, i havnt used them yet, i just like looking at them, LOL!!

I've got some! They're very pretty, but I don't think that they help much with rhythm!!

They do get a bit tangled up if your horse has a long mane though..!

I want some for Guinness I think they are lovely - I didn't know that they attached to the mane though - would G be able to have some? he is hogged.

They can attach to a d-ring on the saddle too or maybe a saddle cloth well mine could anyway!!

i have some! ;D (Actually i have two pairs, different colours for different occasions!) a lady at my yard has started making them herself...pretty easy and cheap apparently, and fun because you can use what ever colour/bell combination you want

not sure on the whole rhythym thing to be honest as havent really used them consistently enough in trot etc. But good for helping people hear you coming in woods! I just clip mine onto saddle cloth because the clip i got was a bit 'snaggy/pully' for what very little mane we do have!
