Rhythm Beads are used to enhance a natural rhythm. Much like a musician uses a metronome for timed beats, the gentle 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, and are 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. They are a valuable training aid used to improve both rider and horse’s performance in addition to being a wonderful "jewelry" accessory to match tack or change out for different events and Holidays!

Also known as "Speed Beads", Rhythm Beads have been used to encourage a faster and harder pace for speed events. They have gained recognition and popularity from jumpers, gaited riders, endurance riders, dressage riders, trail riders, barrel racers, horse trainers, and riding instructors. On trails, the bells alert wildlife and other riders of your approach and can help a spooky horse relax. In training, the soft jingle cadence helps the horse move into a more even and consistent gait while at the same time has been beneficial to many riders in keeping their own movements coordinated with their horse.

Instructions:
These are handmade and uniquely different. Polyester cordage is used for stringing the beads making it simple to clean with plain water. A mild soap can be used on more stubborn dirt. Hang to dry.
