Requirements to Join Temecula Cowgirls

We practice Sunday afternoons Fall thru Spring 3:30-5PM, in the Summer we switch to 5:30-7PM to avoid the heat.  Team tryouts are held as needed, after a rider attends three 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 skills.  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 sponsor, annual dues of $100 team membership are collected when a new rider is accepted to the team. This fee will help to cover event insurance fees, entry fees, incidentals, equipment, etc.  The mission of the club is to preserve SAFE riding trails and promote the Equestrian Industry in Southern California. 

Basic personal attire items such as cowboy hats, jeans, team shirts, appropriate size black splint boots, etc. will need to be purchased.  We do have some loaner items to share while supplies last.  We provide matching team-owned tack, saddle blankets, beautiful custom-made RODEO chaps, practice tee shirts and specs for making your own practice flag, for a seasonal lease to drill team riders.  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.
