The Second Company Governor’s Horse Guard (2GHG) is an all-volunteer state organized militia unit, originally formed to protect and escort the Governor. As an active Cavalry Unit, 2GHG continues to serve the Governor and the State of Connecticut at the direction of the Connecticut Army National Guard, under the command of the Adjutant General. The main duties of the unit are as a ceremonial unit, partaking in parades and public educational service to schools, scouting groups, and special needs.
2GHG was chartered in 1808 and has had a history throughout the years of dedicated service and to the preservation of the Cavalry in Connecticut. 2GHG remains ever conscious of its responsibilities to the citizens of Connecticut and thankful to those who have made our continuing existence possible.
The “Friends of the Second Company Governor’s Horse Guards,” is a 501c3 organization in direct support of The Second Company Governor’s Horse Guard. Throughout the year, different events are put together by the Friends and the troopers as a mean to raise money to care
for the horses, their feed and the facility in Newtown.
