We have designed our necklaces with safety in mind. The materials we use include pony beads, leather lace and 5 genuine brass or polished chrome plated brass bells.
Our rhythm bead necklaces also come with a clip to attach the rhythm bead set to your horse's mane, so that when he lowers his head the beads will not slip off over his head.
Should the necklace at any time become caught on an immovable object, the leather lace will break, freeing your horse.
Use: You will want to take the time to desensitize your horse to Rhythm Beads before you use them as you would with any new piece of horse tack. You and your horse will find the sound of the bells to be very comforting.
Maintenance: If your bells get a build up of tarnish due to horse sweat, simply clean with Brasso or similar. When not in use store in a dry place wrapped in natural cotton.
Standard Sizing Guideline
Mini 35", Icelandic 45", Horse 54
The placement of the clip is adjustable, and these sizes will accommodate most horses, but should you require a special size, please contact us.
Rhythm Beads should fall on the horse’s neck right at what is known as the “drive line". This is the area just in front of the
shoulder. The beads should not be loose or tight – they should be comfortable. They should not hang down on the horse’s chest. They should clear any tack such as a breastplate or martingale.
Measuring
Measure, in inches, from in front of the withers, around the neck and back to the wither. Add approximately one to two inches to this measurement so that your rhythm beads will hang comfortably on your horse's neck
