The Diablo Ladies Rodeo Drill Team was founded in 1996 by
Murrel Lacy as a recreational team. It was, at this point, an all Arabian
horse team. Murrel started the team as a way for riders to meet other
riders, learn horsemanship skills, and build confidence in each team member as a
rider and as a person. Murrel believed that every rider deserved a chance
and if you build respect and confidence in that person as a rider, it will
impact that person in their everyday life as well. He encouraged the
team to perform with integrity and, above all, have FUN!
Murrel coached the team for 3 years and then passed the baton on to the team's present drill master. The team soon grew to include other breeds of horses and to go on to being a premier rodeo performance team. The Diablo Ladies hold dear to the principals of their founding coach. We encourage each rider to be the best that they can be, to remember that your horse is your partner, to treat each other with respect, and that if you believe in yourself and your teammates, the sky is the limit. The Diablo Ladies have the pleasure of performing all over Northern California at various rodeos, demonstrations and parades. The Ladies have also performed at the Grand Nationals at the Cow Palace to the approval of an appreciative crowd. |

The Diablo Ladies Rodeo Drill Team is
known for being one of the nicest drill teams out there. They
practice hard but have a lot of fun doing it. And the practice is
worth the effort as they have a total blast performing for their audiences.
Currently, the Diablo Ladies are accepting new riders by invitation only.
If you're interested in meeting the ladies and possibly receiving an
invitation to join the team, contact Margaret O'Brien

Every year, the Diablo Ladies Rodeo Drill Team supports and promotes a local charity. This year, the ladies are proud and honored to bring awareness to the communities of the organization Give Every Child A Chance. The Diablo Ladies will be riding in a wonderful rodeo in June promoting this organization and their work to give every child a chance to be successful.
