She is doing great with the beads so far. I think that it is helping her not rush at the trot on the lead. I have only been keeping them on for five to ten minutes at a time right now though.

Thank you! No, they were ordered from Rhythm-n-Beads on their website

Congratulations!

Online halter is a good idea for anyone that wants to share their horse and it is interesting to see all the pretty horses!

Thank you! I am having a lot of fun with it! Especially since I can't afford in person showing this year.

Congratulations! For some reason I didn’t see the halter show pics until now . I don’t get on too often so I think I get “lost” when I do . I need to have my daughter do this!

Thank you! I have totally done that before, and then looked back and been so confused!

Can you tell a difference when you use the rhythm beads? I’ve been in the horse world for a while and this is a new concept to me..I must definitely be out of the loop

Yeah the rhythm beads are cute... but i don't get how they work....

I bought them to manly warn wildlife that my pony and I are around because we walk in the woods a lot, but they also are said to help calm and help keep an even cadence at the walk and trot. I have friends that use them in trail driving and love them as well.

Bliss' very first ribbons from The Online Miniature Horse Show

Today we went back to our positive reinforcement focused training. I had taken a break from it to review for a few weeks and to work on feet handling, cleaning out, and rasping, but now is time to get back to more fun low stress behaviors! Bliss and I had an excellent session working on calm default/treat manners on both sides, then we worked on targeting, leading with her following my body cues, and stopping with body cues. She did very well and stayed relaxed almost the entire time. I could definitely tell that she was actively thinking about staying calm and working through what I was asking of her. I am proud of her, and ready to start working on more behaviors and cues for future horse agility training. I then took out Ella for a good brush and a walk, and snapped this super cute picture of her mane being blown in the wind.

That’s a great idea..we walk through woods too and if I take them to any trails about 30 minutes from here in the mountains we have potential of running into black bears
