Interested in becoming a Renegade? There are a few requirements that must be fulfilled before you can join the team!
HORSE: You must be able to ride your horse comfortable and safely at a walk, trot, canter while steering with one hand. Your horse should be a stock-type horse between 14.2 to 16.2 hands. You will be in close quarters with other horses so good herd manners are a must! Being able to carry a flag is a huge plus, but if you never have, don’t worry! We will help both horse and rider learn to carry a flag. We are always willing to help new riders learn new things!
RIDER: We accept riders of all ages as long as they can meet the riding requirements. We have riders from age 11-70. Youth riders under the age of 16 will required a parent or legal guardian at all rehearsals and events.
TRANSPORTATION:You must have reliable transportation for you and your horse. Each member is financially responsible for getting themselves to practices and events. We will carpool when at all possible, but you do need to have your own transportation.
PARADE TEAM: If you are not ready to drill yet or just love parades, our parade team is a great place to start
GROUND CREW: The Renegades ground crew is very important for our success. We are always looking for extra ground crew to help us out. Ground crew is also a great way to learn about drill and see if it would be a great fit for you and your horse. Ground crew gets the best seats in the house. They are always up front at events and close to the action.
We practice on Sunday afternoons in the greater Springfield, OH area. Location can change based on weather. Our season usually starts in February and runs through October.
The Renegades are a talented, hard-working, fun-loving, family friendly group of cowgirls and cowboys. We love to have fun and goof around, all while perfecting our precision moves and unique drills! If you feel like you fit these requirements and want to be apart of this award-winning drill team, please feel free to contact us and come to a practice to see what the sport of mounted drill is all about! We are always looking for new riders who feel they have what it takes and love to be with their horses as much as we do!
