Requirements to Join Temecula Cowgirls

We practice Monday evenings 6-7:30PM, contact us to haul over for a practice.  After a rider attends 3-5 practices a decision will be made to offer a position or not.  Drill routines are performed at a lope, parades at a walk.  Skilled riders can attend one practice as our guest, consecutive practice invitations will be at the captain/coach’s discretion.  

Temecula Cowgirls possess strong moral character, athletic ability, advanced level horsemanship skills, and own sound, tolerant horses with acceptable social behavior.  Team members must have reliable transportation and commit to joining our scheduled practices, parades and events.  

We will consider parade team only riders on a case by case basis. Junior riders, under 18 years old, are considered on a case by case basis, a parent must remain present at all practices and events.  Helmets are required for riders under 16yrs, unless a parent approves use of a cowboy hat with written permission.  

All team members must join Temecula Eq-Wine Riders, our Title Sponsor, annual dues of $100 are collected when a new rider is accepted to the team. This fee will help to cover event insurance fees, entry fees, incidentals, team equipment, etc.  The mission of the club is to preserve SAFE riding trails and promote the Equestrian Industry throughout Southern California. 

Basic personal attire items such as cowboy hat, jeans, black splint boots, etc. will need to be purchased.  We do have some loaner items to share, while supplies last.  We provide a lease of matching team-owned tack, saddle blanket, beautiful custom-made RODEO chaps, practice tee shirt with ballcap, specs for making your own practice flag, etc. 

We are proud to say our team is one of the most affordable to join in SoCal.  Our hard work fundraising for many years has enabled us to acquire the valuable investment of team-owned items.

About Our Team

The Temecula Cowgirls Parade Team was formed in 2013, after winning First Place Equestrian Division in Old Town Temecula's Independence Day Parade.  In 2014 we were awarded the honor of being the FIRST non-profit, community color guard group to be gifted a City of Temecula Flag.  Our flag was  presented formally at City Hall Chambers by Mayor Maryann Edwards.  In recent years we have transitioned in a Drill Team providing exciting, fast-paced and patriotic performance exhibitions to enhance special events.  

Over the years we have acquired many First Place parade awards and honorable mentions in Temecula, Murrieta, San Juan Capistrano's PRESTIGIOUS Swallows Day Parade, Cherry Valley Festival Parade, City of  Coronado 4th of July Parade, etc.  Many of these parades are professionally judged by the California State Horsemen's Association based on the criteria of horsemanship, attire, tack, Color Guard presentation, ease of parade ride, execution of maneuvers and teamwork.

Our community service projects and fundraisers support trails preservation, therapeutic horseback riding and equine therapy programs, preservation of Temecula's Rural Lifestyles and support of Southern California's Equestrian Industry.  Watch for us performing at RODEOS,community events, parades, horse shows, Grand Openings, Western Days, Civic events, etc.  We offer a Grand Entry Drill Routine, Formal Color Guard, and entertaining Drill Performances according to the venue. 

On New Year's Day 2020 and 2022 we rode in the "Granddaddy of all Parades" Pasadena's Tournament of Roses Parade, as well as performed at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center's EQUESTFEST Horse Show.  Together, with the Horsewomen of Temecula and the Temecula Valley Horsemen's Association, we accomplished a dream come true for our Cowgirls and the City of Temecula.  TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK! 

We practice on Monday evening in the saddle 6-7:30PM Practice locations rotate, contact  Juanita Koth-Team Captain and Founder at 951-515-9964 to join a practice with your horse.
