What are Rhythm Beads?
History and inspiration comes from Native American designs; traditionally used for protection, luck and to show status or achievement. Traditional materials included feathers, wood and bones; our designs use modern materials with fun, lightweight charms.
 
Why use Rhythm Beads?
Used in modern equestrianism to calm "spooky" horses who focus on the sounds and rhythm of the beads and bells rather than external factors. They can also be used to keep a consistent gait or warn others of your presence when hacking or endurance riding and you can listen for changes in gait and stride whilst schooling or jumping and make corrections to your riding. They can encourage speed during pony games or barrel racing.
The bells jingle against the beads and the horse's body, making a gentle but rhythmic sound; it is recommended that your horse be desensitised to the product in a safe/familiar environment.
 
They also make a great gift for your equine or human friends!

How do I care for my Rhythm Beads?
DON'T
- Wash in high temperatures
- Use bleach or strong chemicals
- Let animals chew the cord
- Use caution around flames; paracord is flammable
- Leave outside for long periods of rain/wet conditions
DO
- Use a gentle detergent or hand/dish soap
- Use baking soda or similar if you have a stubborn stain to scrub
- Dry outside; be mindful that direct/harsh sunlight may cause a loss of colour
- Store in a cool, dry place
NOTE- The first time paracord gets wet it can shrink by up to 1/4 inch per strand; it will not shrink again
TOP TIP- Wash with a small amount of citronella or other essential oil; this removes oil/grease, leaves a great scent and can also be used as an insect repellent
