The Cariboo Cowgirls Precision Drill Team is a non profit organization. The original team was 'rounded up' in 2000, and later with the merger of another existing drill team, reemerged as the Cariboo Cowgirls. All team members must have their own horse and transportation. Running precision drill, designing new maneuvers and choreographing new routines is a never-ending learning process. Due to these conditions a rigorous, demanding drill season and schedule is mandatory.

Practices are twice weekly, lasting two hours per practice and continue for eight months of the year. This schedule keeps horses and riders 'show ready'.

The Cariboo Cowgirls Precision Drill Team was created by some ambitious riders at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds & Williams Lake Trail Riders Facility in Williams Lake BC. This group of Cowgirl's was looking for personal satisfaction, entertainment and a way to create an organization that would draw together other individuals in the horse industry of similar nature and interests!

The Cariboo Cowgirls take pride in the history of the team and its members and the many contributions and individual accomplishments they have made over the years. The team feels they owe much to those teams that went before them, the ones that 'rode the drill', blazing the way for other drill teams and all the people who led and organized them.

The Williams Lake Stampede Grounds & The Williams Lake Trail Riders Facility in Williams Lake, BC are the Cariboo Cowgirls home arenas. These associations unofficially sponsor the team by allowing them use of the arenas and access to arena grooming equipment for all their practices.

The Williams Lake Stampede is now one of Canada's largest professional rodeos. Immediately adjacent to the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds is the Williams Lake Trail Riders Facility, which provides an indoor and outdoor arena and a stabling facility for a variety of venues. These arenas and grounds are a vital part of their success and the Cariboo Cowgirls are proud to call them their home.
