Answer 1

Hi,  My family was with the Top Hands from 2001-06.  It gave us some wonderful opportuities that we wouldn't have had otherwise.  The biggst problemwe had was theweekly practices. They were usually over 100 miles away so our daughter was early to bed on Friday and gone all day Saturday giving her a unique high school experience. last year when she gave her speech in the Congress Queen contest, she spoke about standing on horseback while representing the United States of America in a foreign country. (It was Canada, but still that's another country)  We got to be in the Ky Derby parade, Pfizer Fantasia, and my favorite was the Reno Rodeo, Reno Nevada. In our five years over 70 people were on the team, so we got to meet a lot of nice people, many with whom  we are still incontact and some will be life long friends.  it was a good experience, within days of our leaving the Top Hands, we were invited to join the Canadian Cowgirls and travel to all of their big performances. Last year they did 115 performances, we were in 27.  It takes hard work and dedication to be on a drill team. If you don't drive a trailer, it takes hard work and dedication from someone else too.  If you'd like to ask any other specific questions, I'll be happy to answer or direct you to someone else. Good Luck
