2023 Evergreen Rodeo Drill Team

THE EVERGREEN RODEO DRILL TEAM is comprised of dedicated volunteers and their horses who work in their communities as a team using the sport of equestrian drill to promote the tradition of Rodeo, and to give back to the community. The drill team performs across the front range and western slope of Colorado for various organizations and rodeos while representing their home base – the Evergreen Rodeo Association.

Our rodeo drill team could not thrive without the support of our local communities, friends, families, sponsors and most importantly our rodeo association. We are appreciative of our fellow volunteers, and all who have invited us to perform or

Not only does the drill team perform at our rodeo during the summer but they represent us throughout the year at:

• Roof Top Rodeo in Estes Park,

• Park County Fair in Fairplay,

• Boulder County Fair and Rodeo Ballet on Horses

• Douglas County Fair and Rodeo

• The local Little Britches Rodeo

• Rocky Mountain Horse Expo participate in their community events and rodeos. We provide Grand Entry and our drills for rodeos and horse shows as well as participate in parades.

If you’d like to see the ERDT at one of your events, are interested in joining our team or would like more information, please contact us today. To us, the words freedom, faith, friendship, strength, hope and love are synonymous with horses.

BAREBACK RIDING is one of the most physically demanding events in rodeo. A bareback rider sits directly on a bucking horse, with only his own “riggin’” to hang onto. As the horse comes out of the chute, the cowboy’s feet must be above the break of the horse’s shoulders. He holds his feet up at least through the horse’s rst move, usually a jump, then spurs the horse on each jump, matching the horse’s rhythm and showing control rather than opping around. He may not touch the horse, his equipment or himself with his free hand. If the ride lasts eight seconds, two judges award up to 25 points each for the cowboy’s “exposure” to the strength of the horse and his spurring technique and up to 25 points each for the horse’s bucking strength and moves.
