Chartered in 1808 “to attend and escort the Governor in times of peace and war”, the Second Company Governor’s Horse Guard continues to serve Connecticut as willingly today as it did during Colonial times.  2GHG is part of the organized militia of the State of Connecticut, under the direction of the Governor and the National Guard.  Although today’s Trooper most often rides in ceremonial functions, cavalry military training of horse and rider takes place throughout the year.  The public is always welcome to visit during regular drill hours or special events.
