About the Discipline

Equestrian Drill Team

An Equestrian Drill Team is a group of horses and riders performing choreographed maneuvers to music and is another of the team disciplines available for equestrians. Teams consist of four to over 20 horses and riders featuring a uniform appearance, including outfits, hats, tack, and flags. Horses should be of the same type; however matching horse colors or breeds are at the team’s discretion. Drill encourages great horsemanship, dedicated teamwork, responsibility, self-respect, and the pride of achieving team goals together. Some teams seek to entertain crowds with high-speed breathtaking maneuvers executed in a blur of brightly colored glamorous outfits to stirring toe-tapping music. Other teams teach horseback riding and leadership skills, along with drill’s historic military roots.
