Diablo Ladies Rodeo Drill Team from Livermore California was formed in 1996 by Murrel Lacy as a recreational Drill team, and at that time they rode only Arabian Horses, and were based out of Danville California.
The team performed at Breed specific events, parades, fund raisers, State Fair, and Western State Horse Expo,
In 1999 Murrel Lacy handed the team over to Margaret O’Brien where the team expanded into a rodeo performance drill team, where they traveled all over the state of California performing at various rodeos, parades, fund Raisers, and competing at the Grand National Rodeo Drill Team Competition.
The Diablo’s still travel all over Northern, California performing at various rodeo’s and events. The team is now made up of primarily quarter horses, a few paints, and a lone Arabian. The horses are in ages from 7-20, the lady’s range in age from 14 to don’t ask. The team is thrilled to be able to bring its love of drill to a wide range of audiences. One of them being the last ride of their performance year at the Historic Grand National Rodeo in San Francisco.
The Diablo Ladies also bring awareness to certain charity foundations throughout the year, the American Red Cross, Military Families, Wounded Warrior Foundation, and St. Baldrick’s Foundation which is finding a cure and treatments for children with childhood cancer.
