About Our Team:
The Tacoma Lariettes are an equestrian team specializing in precision drill and rodeo entertainment, based in Tacoma, Washington.
Formed in 1946 by Martha Palin, our unique team performs in parades, competitions, rodeos and other special events throughout Washington and Oregon State.
Our team consists of approximately 25-30 members, all of whom keep our own horses and transportation. The thrill of working together and performing on the horses we love is what drives our group of determined, strong-minded cowgirls to practice at home perfecting our riding skills, and hauling horse trailers through traffic and bad weather for drill practices and events!
The Tacoma Lariettes are recognized as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We hold many fundraisers throughout the year to which we dontate to our local community!
Our group enthusiastically supports each other as riders and friends!
