Natural Horsemanship Equine Rhythm Beads
Rhythm-n-Beads is your source for unique, high quality, designer equine rhythm beads!
'Equine Rhythm Beads', also known as speed beads, bear bells, horse necklace, cadence beads or horse beads, not only enhance the natural beauty of your horse, they create an auditory learning experience and are a valuable training aid used to improve performance and are quickly gaining recognition & wholehearted support from jumpers, gaited horse riders, endurance riders, dressage riders, trail riders, barrel racers & horse trainers of all breeds & disciplines around the world.
Rhythm Beads encourage your horse to follow a rhythm or cadence, much like a musician to a metronome through timed beats. The soft jingle of the brass bells accentuates the rhythm of horse's gaits, which is useful for adjusting the tempo/rhythm of the horse's movements. The bells help the rider pick up the correct diagonal and detect whether they are cantering/loping on the correct lead.
Rhythm beads are an excellent resource for all riding disciplines, including training and desensitizing young horses. On the trail, the bells are useful for alerting both wildlife and other riders that you are approaching. The subtle and soothing jingle of the bells create a 'white noise' effectively blocking distractions in the arena or on the trail.
Also known as 'Speed Beads', rhythm beads have been used to encourage a faster and harder pace for speed events.

www.HorseMoms.com is a company I recently discovered, and from whom I purchased a specially developed supplement to help Corazon in her recovery. So far, I can tell you their supplements smell fabulous and the three horses I offered a handful to scarfed them up! Check out their site - lots of interesting stuff there.

Possibly the best horse treat available today. You can't get it in stores - it's freshly made from human grade ingredients and shipped directly. Not only do all horses love it, but it's good for them too! Try it, your horse will like it!

This wonderful supplement has been of great help to The Golden Carrot horses, as well as myself. Please read about Chia on the website. In particular, I've found it to be of invaluable help in dropping weight from my fat ponies, and in controlling cranky mares, and those horses who are restless and figety in their stalls. The horses eat it up!
I took a look at this site, and it really has a wide variety of equine gifts and products at reasonable prices. Take a look!
