Answer 3

There is not point to them. They get in the way and slide around the horses neck. No I would not use them. There distracting if they won't stay in place.

Answer 4

They look cool...? :)

Some people say that horses will follow the rhythm of the bell/jingling beads, and that an uneven horse will smooth out, a gaited horse will find his rhythm, etc.

I'm not sure how much of that I believe, but I've found them to be useful for alerting other riders and the wild pigs on the trail that there's someone coming.
