Once you have everything you will need layed out in front of you, you will be ready to begin! First tie the cord (i used a type of thin leather cord) onto the hair clip (there are different styles of clips you can use). I leave the excess until last before i trimm it as i secure it with the glue.
Would love to see everyones homemade Rhythm beads !! send in your pics to [email protected]
Make sure you desensitize your horse to the sound before trying to use while riding
For hundreds of years people have built harmonious relationships with horses, none better than the Native Americans who would adorn their horses with various shells, beads and bells.
They believed that the sound of the bells would calm their horses, ward off evil spirits and allow the horse and human to become as one, totally focused, truly harmonious.
