Gray Black Mane Dangle

Use a flexible tape measure or a piece of string to measure the distance around your horse’s neck where the SteedBeads Rhythm Beads will sit. This will provide the appropriate length, which will be the circumference of the horse's neck, at that point. The beads should lie comfortably on the horse’s shoulder (the drive line) and fit comfortably just in front of the withers. The SteedBeads should cross the chest area where they will not interfere with tack, such as a breastplate. SteedBeads Rhythm Beads come with an adjustment clip that allows them to be shortened, if required, but they cannot be lengthened. Therefore, order a length that is slightly longer than needed, rather than the exact size. If you use a breast collar or martingale, choose a Rhythm Beads length that will either hang above or outside your tack. If your Rhythm Beads get trapped under your martingale or breast plate, don’t fret. They are not likely to hurt your horse if this happens, but they may suffer due to dirt and abrasion in this position. Adjusting the length usually will help avoid this situation. If you don't see a readymade set of SteedBeads Rhythm Beads that will meet your needs, order a custom set. You may then choose not only the length, but also the bead colors and bell and pendant types. Mane and Saddle Dangles are measured from the top of the ring or clip to the bottom of the bell.
