I hope to open your minds on why WholistiBEADS are wonderful to use with your horses and may just become your next go to item.
#1 – They can be a great training tool
- The soothing sound of the bells provides focus. Helping you and your horse to be mindful in the moment.
- They divert you and your horse’s attention away from unwanted distractions.
- They can help young, nervous and spooky horses concentrate. The same applies to riders too 😉
- The sound of the bells can help you tune into the movement of your horse, picking up on any changes in strides.
- This can be especially helpful for endurance riders, show jumpers and cross-country riders where striding is paramount.
- They help you focus on a consistent rhythm when schooling and asking for dressage movements, making each footfall easy to hear and respond to.
- They will guide you to hearing you are on the correct diagonal and the correct canter lead.
- They can alert other people and wild animals of your presence when out trail riding, causing your horse to become less spooky when out and about.
- They help the rider hear and in turn create a consistent rhythm – which is the first step on the Pyramid of Training. Along with relaxation. Meaning they help you towards achieving two steps in the Pyramid of Training!
- They promote a sense of harmony between you and your horse.
The same concept applies to using WholistiBEADS. They provide white noise and focus, helping to lower blood pressure and slow your breathing.
#2 – Colour psychology plays a big role in the use of WholistiBEADS
- We all have our favourite colours, right? Ever wondered why that is?!
- Every colour provides us with a feeling.
- Each colour has a different meaning – for example, we all know that Yellow is associated with joy and happiness and red is associated with danger, but also love and passion.
#3 – WholistiBEADS sets made with gemstones hold healing properties, for both horse and rider
- We all know gemstones are very beautiful, but did you know they offer healing properties too.
- Each gemstone has its own unique energy and cellular healing vibrations.
- This energy and vibration resonates both with people and animals.
- They help to settle any imbalances throughout the mind, body and spirit.
- Gemstones can help to balance the chakras
#4 – They enhance the natural beauty of your horse
- We have adorned our horses in an array of decorative attire for centuries, why not join in the fun.
- They were worn as a sign of honour and respect when traditionally used by Native Americans.
#5 – They make the perfect accessory to your matchy match gear
#6 – They make a beautiful and unique gift that won’t break the bank
I use crystals in my Reiki healing and have seen the transformations they can make in people’s lives.
The Wholistic Equestrian is very proud to share with you that we are adding this beautiful healing element to our range.
Not only working with colour but with natural stones that have proven properties to support you and your horses unique journey.
The Wholistic Equestrian WholistiBEADS will be offered in three styles.
- All beads on this set are a combination of gemstones to suit you and your horse’s needs.
- These sets are mainly made using colourful beads.
- They also include a combination of 30 gemstones.
- The colours of the beads and gemstones represent something special and unique to you and your horse.
- The colours chosen are to reflect you and your horse’s needs.
- Pendants and trinkets added all have their own meanings, enabling the WholistiBEADS for you and your horse to be very bespoke.
I am currently trialling a couple of styles to showcase what they look like as not everyone is familiar with WholistiBEADS.
In the not too distant future I will be offering consultations for which gemstones and coloured beads may suit your horse. This can include providing crystals for certain types of healing, past abuse, loss of a herd mate, injuries etc.
Being a Reiki Level 2 healer, I can sit with your gemstone WholistiBEADS and offer Reiki healing specifically for you and your horse.
A Word About Safety
- All WholistiBEADS are designed to snap if your horse gets caught.
- The leather cord will snap easily without a lot of pressure.
- Waxed cotton thread has a high breaking point but will snap if your horse gets caught. This style is suitable for vegans. No animal products are used.
- Paracord 550 is used for its strength and durability and has a breaking point of 550lbs.
- WholistiBEADS should NEVER be left on your horse unattended. You always need to be with your horse while they are wearing this item. They should not be left on when your horse is tied, in a float, or left in their paddock or stable.
- WholistiBEADS come with an alligator clip to hold them in place. These are to be attached to the horse’s mane only, never the saddle or any other piece of tack.
- WholistiBEADS should not be used as a neck rope.
- All beads are securely knotted into place. No beads should become loose during activity.
