The 2012 RHPC Drill Team will be doing our first performance on Sunday, September 29th to support the Ride the Spectrum ride for Autism at Midwest. We have three new members this year: Susie Chirpas, Jackie Jones and Ramonette Dugan. Susie and Jackie have done an excellent job with learning the new routine and are a great addition to the team. Ramonette I’m sure will be a great addition as well as soon as she heals up from her tumble. Returning members are: “Captain” Dana Taylor, Teri Rypel, Joy Fowler, Sheryl Garlish, Lynne Voight, Connie Freese, Jackie Weidner, and Tina Nunez. Due to “blessed” circumstances, Jackie will be helping from the ground this year. She was a great asset to us last year in that capacity and we are pleased that she is continuing her role as consultant.
We look forward to see all the ladies and hearing their hoops and hollers as we debut our new routine!

Parade Start Time: 5:00PM

Parade Captain & Co-Captain: Peg Carson (rafftajean@aol.com) & Rose Terwiske (terwiske@insightbb.com) Please contact the Captain and Co-Captain directly for questions or to sign up for this parade

Length of Parade Route: 1.7 miles

Judged Parade: Yes

Description of Parade Route: Wide streets, crowds far away from horses

Televised Parade: Yes---televised in Kentucky, local channels

Level of Difficulty: NOT a "starter" parade, possible long wait in Staging, elevated train trestle at street where the unit waits before entering parade, unit passes under highway underpass during final part of parade

Parade Dress: Full Dress for "front lines"-Show shirts for front row (2 to 4 riders-shirts provided)
"Just for Fun" Participants-incorporating red and purple in costume
Walkers-red or purple sparkly vests and comfortable walking shoes

Equine Dress: RHPC tack, red and purple combinations included in decoration
Maximum "glitz" with glitter on hoofs (RED GLITTER on lead horses please)

Description of Parade: High visibility parade, bands and large helium balloons are in this parade. Staging is in a paved parking lot with all the other parade units. Water is available in the Staging Area. Port-a-potties also available in the Staging Area. The area in which the equine units wait to be entered into the parade is beside an overhead train trestle, which is the "scary" part of the parade, but the RHPC Walkers are prepared to assist the riders. The parade route is wide and the spectators are far away from the horses. The trailers must be moved to the disband area at the end of the parade route. The trailers are in a secure parking lot and trailer drivers can be "shuttled" back to the staging area, if they are participating in the parade. There is no requirement for trailer drivers to stay with the trailers.

Lodging and Overnight Stabling, if wanted: Some members camp at Deem Lake in southern Indiana. Lodging is also available at the KY Fairgrounds which offers stalls and allows trailers to park in the parking lot and "plug in" to the electric power at the barns. Advance reservations must be made with the KY Fairgrounds but the cost is reasonable. Other members choose to return home after the parade.

Special Note: All the parade units are required to be in the Staging Area earlier in the day. The parade begins at 5:00PM. The waiting time for RHPC depends upon where we are placed in the parade. It could be several hours. We are allowed to have the Smootmobile in Staging with water and storage of snacks, if you bring them. This does make for a very long day for both horses and humans. For those considering the Indy 500 Parade, this may be a good experience if you and your equine are parade qualified and up to the challenge. Please feel free to contact the Parade Captain or Co-Captain if you have questions.
