Drill Team??!!

Heyy everyone... I got asked to be on an equestrian drill team and I was wondering if I should join or not. I don't really know much about drill team either ... so some information would be great.

~TIA

Well I have never been on drill team but it sounds like a lot of fun.and I have somewhat of an idea about it but I think you should go for it! It sounds really fun. And it would be a great experience for you and your horse!

Oh yeah you definitely should. That would be fun. I really want to join one but you have to be 18 for most down here cause they had a bad accident a few years ago. Theres an awesome drill team down here called the rainbow riders. You can look them up on youtube. They have some awesome routines

That'd be SO cool, it's soo fun to watch drill teams...their routines are soo neat. I say go for it.

I think it's fun. I tried it other week, but didn't go really well because I have inexperienced horse. I'd vote to try though.

TOTALLY JOIN IT! I was on the Young Americans Equestrien Team for years! It was AWESOME, we did parades and we did drills from VA, to PA, WV, and MD. We used to haul out to wehrever the parade was and we would set up tents and camp out and it was a BLAST. We did the drills to music, the pinwheels and do si dos and everythign. It was my entire highschool career and several years after. I rode Pistol my rearing horse, I carried the American Flag and we would race out during the bugle call, I would halt and rear while the others would race around me, and then the parades, we would blast Proud to be an American... It was totally worth it AND!!!! Pistol is absolutely BOMB PROOF because of it! It was really worth it.... YOU WOULD LOVE IT!

Oh and in case you guys didnt know... parades are actually competitions, you are judged against the other horse teams... and overall... we have so many trophys, it was really fun....

Okay guys thanks sooo much ! I will defiently think about it some more !

They are loads of fun but they can be very time consuming. Be prepared to take a lot of time away from your regular riding time out of your schedule.

Yes, they said it would be a TON of practice. Still thinking about it though. :) Oh and My2Geldings ... I LOVE your avatar!

Thank you very much
