In the past few years, drill teams have become very popular and many people can’t wait to watch these beautiful performances. In case you are not familiar with this discipline, we will try to explain it to you in simple words.
Drill teams include a group of horses and riders doing choreographed movements to music. These teams normally perform at rodeos, horse fairs, ceremonies, exhibits, and drill team competitions.
Drill teams are meant to entertain, manifest sportsmanship, horsemanship, partnership, and dedication. The goal is to organize a group of horses and riders to perform correct maneuvers to music.
The components of a drill ride are often taken from dressage and other disciplines such as reining and even jumping. Some drill teams only act to entertain audiences at events, while some may compete in drill riding competitions.
Drill teams are very entertaining to watch and horse lovers have always appreciated their performances.
