🖤Drill Teams have a lot of history🖤

Formation riding, also known as drill riding or equestrian drill team, has a rich history that dates back centuries. Its origins can be traced to military cavalry units, where soldiers would perform coordinated riding maneuvers for both training and entertainment purposes. These formations were essential in battle, helping troops maintain order and control on the battlefield.

In civilian life, equestrian drill teams began to emerge as a form of entertainment in the 19th century, often featuring precise and synchronized riding displays at parades, rodeos, and other public events. These performances showcased the skill and discipline of both the riders and their horses.

The art of riding in formation is deeply meshed in the military, ceremonial and civilian histories of nations on all continents. Drill team maneuvers first began on the battlefield, where to effectively move horse soldiers around (the field), there had to be some semblance of order. The order was created through riding drills, which helped soldiers learn to ride more skillfully and in unison. As a result, each troop became a team better prepared for battle.

Prior to the mechanization of cavalry units and the transfer of U.S. equestrian sports leadership to civilian entities, drill competition was principally a military exercise. In the 1930's, drill team competition was a popular feature of horse shows throughout America, including the National Capital Horse Show in Washington, DC and the National Horse Show held at Madison Square Garden in New York. The legendary horseman John Clarke, an officer in the 9th U.S. Cavalry, helped to train and coordinate U.S. Army drill teams that successfully competed against many of the world's best, including members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, known internationally for their famous 'Musical Ride'.

The same type of maneuvers used by the cavalry can be used by riding clubs to create a sense of teamwork among members.

Love this rich history of drill teams! We are excited to work on our formations and teamwork this coming season!
