We are a non-profit equestrian drill team formed in 2020, when a group of friends wanted to try something new, different and fun with their horses while everything was shut down in the height of Covid. Since the beginning, we've always been a little different. Captivating audiences with synchronized drill routines set to rock‑infused music, showcasing exceptional horsemanship, teamwork, and dynamic choreography. We are known for our rock vibe and fun-loving attitudes, bringing a little black leather and rebel heart to every performance.

Our mission is to break down barriers in equestrian sport by creating a radically welcoming space where horses and riders of all kinds can learn, have fun, and grow together through the sport of drill team riding. We empower women to try something new, ride boldly, and build confidence. We believe in doing things differently, leading with kindness, and proving that you earn your place in the arena by showing up, not fitting in. Our differences make us stronger, and we are proud to be one of the most diverse drill teams in the country.

If you’ve never seen or heard of an equestrian drill team before, let us explain what it is we do! When we compete and perform, we are riding as a team with as few as 4 to as many as 12 riders at a time. Much like a marching band on horseback, the team moves in complex formations at varying speeds, showcasing horsemanship, precision, and unity. We perform at competitions across the Midwest against other drill teams, perform at horse expos and opening ceremonies, and participate in community events such as parades, exhibitions and meet & greets. We want to share the magic of horses with the audience in a fun & kickass way!

Our team is entirely self-funded. Our riders own their own horses, and pay their way to competitions and events in order to bring the magic of drill to audiences all over. We never want to limit a rider who wants to learn, because of financial difficulties. Sponsorships & fundraising provide expanded opportunities to our riders, and make sure our horses are outfitted in the safest and most comfortable equipment.
