An equestrian drill team is a group of horses and riders performing choreographed maneuvers to music. Teams typically perform at rodeos, horse fairs, parades, benefits, and drill team competitions. Drill teams are intended to entertain, and showcase sportsmanship, horsemanship, teamwork, and dedication. Members must have a uniform appearance, including outfits, hats, tack, and flags. At competitions, a drill team is judged on ability, including spacing and alignment, timing, coordination, originality, difficulty, the attractiveness of patterns, speed, horsemanship, uniformity, manners of the animals, music, and crowd appeal.
