RC Riders are respected throughout the Drill community.  Many members are active in several equestrian clubs.  The positive exposure your company would receive, as well as the appreciation of several cowgirls, would be priceless.

The Cost of Drill:  Equestrian Drill is truly a labor of love.  There are few monetary rewards in this sport.  We compete because we love the challenge, the fun, and our horses.  Like many of the best things in life, Drill is not cheap.  The entire team cost for Drill each year is between approximately $15,000 and $25,000, depending on the number and kinds of competitions attended. 

These costs do not include ownership, care and maintenance of our horses as well as the vehicles to transport them.  It is not uncommon for a rider to have to quit participating in Drill because it has become too expensive.

To help offset the expense of our sport, each winter the team builds and sells holiday wreaths.  This fundraiser typically earns between $1000-$2000 for the season.  The proceeds usually pay for our first big competition of the year.  However, the more money the team has available, the more competitions we can attend.

Our team competes in at least four local and regional Equestrian Drill events each year, as well as the Oregon State Fair.  We also ride in local parades and equestrian demonstrations throughout the year.
