Our Drill Team Members

We are looking for ladies who want to have a great time and fellowship with other riders.  Ages of current members range from 42 - 64.  Members must have their own horse and be able to get to drill practices and performances.  Horses will be taught drill patterns and drill behavior.  Basic manners and good behavior are required for horses.  Horses must be able to stop, turn, and work with other horses.  A calm nature is a must. 

Practices

We understand priorities.  Family, community, and career commitments come first.  We may have 2-4 practices a month.  Members are not required to be at all practices.  Practices will be held in the arena closest to where the majority of riders are available.  Currently practices are being held in Stephenville and Comanche.

Drills

The drills patterns are not intricate nor hard to learn.  The key to a successful drill is practice and precision.  The toughest part of many drills is walking a straight line across the arena while staying in perfect alignment with up to 7 other horses!!  If you can walk a straight line - you can do drill!!  You just may need some practice to get in perfect sync with the other riders!   We will learn drills for 4-8 horses.  That way we can perform at events regardless of how many team members can attend. 

Performances

Typically, we will perform once a month.  Usually at Cowgirl Productions events - others as we have the opportunity.  Our performance area is currently scheduled for Hamilton, San Angelo, Eastland, Comanche, Brady, and Stephenville.

Equipment

Our goal is to project a polished, professional appearance with a minimal investment.  Cowgirl Productions has provided team members with their first performance shirt.  We have a vendor who has donated a second shirt.  Team members are asked to wear a black felt hat and black jeans/boots.  A plain black saddle pad is the only horse equipment - available at tack stores from $20-50.  The team recently voted to use black polo wraps for performances as well - under $15 for a set of four.  We have flag holders and flags/poles that you can use.  You may choose to purchase your own set ($16 for the holder, about $20 for the flag and pole).   

Our inspiration:  I Corinthians 12:12-27     Ladies, read this over when you have time.  Thanks for Kandie for bringing this to my attention.  This passage is about one body, many parts.  A great passage that illustrates our team.
