Rhythm Beads - a great training aid , calms "spooky" horses and used in dressage , trail rides and endurance Rhythm beads are more than what they seem. Not only do they look stunning and make your horse stand out from the crowd, but the steady tingle of the bells with the horse’s movement help to aid with many horses’ and riders’ sense of rhythm. The bells will soon become a familiar sound to your horse, and will calm him/her out on the trail ride or simple flat riding. They are called rhythm beads because the bells sound rhythmically in time to your horse's footsteps , helping both rider and horse stay coordinated. They have become popular with endurance riders for their calming sound over long distances. Horses that are easliy spooked readily accept the rhythm beads and the soothing sound they make. Barrel racers use them for a different purpose and call them " speed beads" as they can shave seconds off their time. Whether dressage, trail , pleasure, endurance riding or simply a novice, these rhythm beads have a purpose for all. The concept originated from the native people of America, who used necklaces and other decorations of bells, beads, feathers and tassels to calm their horses and keep more in tune with them. It is a recent phenomenon in the more modern world, but already is becoming extremely popular overseas, and is a new idea to Australia.
