Drill Teams
Drill Team is defined as a group of riders working in unison to create a dance on horseback. The musical routines are done at a jog / trot or lope / canter and performed to a musical selection where the entire arena becomes a dance floor. The routines can be a short program, 5 - 6 minutes or a long program, 9 - 12 minutes. This performance is a series of patterns or maneuvers choreographed into a full routine.
The Crimson Acres SWAT Drill Teams are members of the United States Equestrian Drill Team Association and include beginner or novice teams; intermediate teen teams; advance and adult teams. All teams practice weekly starting mid January and continue through October. Crimson Acres also host two competitions a year, one in June and one in August, and also perform a variety of demonstrations and clinics in the Western Massachusetts area.
This is an exciting year for drill teams in the northeast!
The USEDA has made us region #5
This region will include the following states: Massachusetts,
New York, Connecticut,Rhode Island, Vermont,
New Hampshire and Maine. All Teams in this region would join the USEDA and would
also be members of this
region. The team (regional Director and 2 Directors from each srate) would assist
in setting up competitions,
clinics and represent the region at the National meeting.
The 1st official Regional drill team meeting is to be held on April 24th at Crimson Acres at 7 PM. It looks like we will have a good turnout as teams from most the states have already contacted us and what to participate. We would love to have anyone who has intrest in learning more about drill team contact us and attend this meeting.
