Throwback to Drill Team

One of my last rodeo seasons the main rodeo company I photographed at brought in an Equestrian Drill Team to perform during their events. It was my first time seeing a drill performance and it was visual fun to watch and photograph.

As an equine photographer I have been lucky to see many different kinds of events and photography in many different places. It has also allowed me to make many really cool images.

Such as the one below which was taken of a drill team during a rodeo.

What is fun about this and what draws my eye besides the flags in the line that the riders created with their equestrian partners. I am sure there is a specific name to this formation and I have seen it several times since this image was made but this image really captured just how well this team executed clear and crisp lines with excellent spacing and visual appeal.
