I have heard so many people rave about rythymn beads that I had to give them a try just to be fair. besides spooking my horse,I found they bounced around and got in MY way when riding. I didn't find they helped either of us with our "rythym". But then, maybe they're made for those who need to learn the two beats to a trot so they know when to post.

Pros: they don't harm, only distract

Cons: they're distracting, do no help, somewhat get in the way

These beads are great for all horses but especially for those that tend to be a bit nervous on the trail. They like the soothing sound of the beads and it seems to work on me as well. They are so colorful. I gave some as Christmas presents too.

Pros: Love the colors

Cons: none

These beads are decieving..too look at them they are very pretty, but I was skeptical..when on the horses they seem to have such a soothing effect, and I do believe they feel special when wearing them...Have used them alot on our Rescue Horses

Pros: they are available in a large array of colors

Cons: Broke on my Big Percheron, but he was a moose

I have these first off to interduce things and sounds to my horses. I have 1 shetland that is scared of a lot of things due to past abuse and so I'm using this to let her hear a strange sounds and learn that it isn't going to hurt her!

Pros: great for many things

Cons: N/A

My mare used to spook at everything and anything. Once I put the rhythm beads on her, she seemed less spooky. I guess she concentrated more on the sound of the beads than she did the goblins in the woods.

Pros: Pretty, functional

Cons: None
