2nd Co Gov Horse Guard Patton Leaves : This photo story is dedicated to Patton of The 2nd Company Governors Horse Guard. Due to Connecticut state budget cuts the 2nd Co. Governors Horse Guard was ordered to reduce their herd in 2012. The horses removed from the Horse Guard property were taken to different locations to be cared for by individual Troopers. These Troopers are so dedicated to the care of these animals they are paying out of their own pocket in addition to the hundreds of hours they give as volunteers to the Horse Guard. The horses of the Horse Guard are rescue animals, and donated by private individuals. Patton, a Clydesdale X, who stood 17.3 hands high was one of the favorites. This gentle giant was always the lead horse in a parade when ridden by the Commandant of the 2nd Co. Governors Horse Guard, Major Gordon Johnson. These photos are from the day Patton left the only home he had known for most of his life to live with Trooper SGT Cotnoir-Abate who had recently moved to Vermont. As the photographer for the HG I have personally witnessed the loving care they give each and every animal. This was truly a sad day as the Troopers who were able came that day to say their good-byes to Patton. Due to age Patton passed away on December 14th, 2012, the same day as the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. When SGT Cotnoir-Abate sent out her email about his passing she said, "I feel that he knew the children needed him in heaven, I'm sure he gave many of them pony rides. I can just see him racing across an open field with a bunch of kids on his back squealing with delight." As children raced toward him in mass he never flinched, but would patiently gaze down at them as he was petted by many small hands. Patton will be missed, but never forgotten.

2nd Co Governors Horse Guard OpSail 2012 : With the heat index predicted to hover at over 100 degrees the 2nd Company Governor's Horse Guard Troopers and horses arrived on site before 10AM, and it was already feeling extremely warm due to the high humidity. The plan was to prepare the horses, then to take them over near the speaker's podium to await the arrival of the U.S.S. Eagle. After 12 years of waiting for OpSail’s return to Connecticut, enthusiasts weren’t going to let a one hour delay dampen their spirits. When the 295-foot barque Eagle’s masts poked through a haze that had settled over the Thames River, thousands of people at Fort Trumbull State Park in New London cheered its arrival as the first of a 23-ship flotilla that took part in OpSail 2012 Connecticut. As it maneuvered into its slip at State Pier, cannon and small arms fire from Free Men of the Sea, a group of War of 1812 re-enactors, greeted the boats, which responded with blares from their horns. The start of Saturday’s parade was delayed one hour while crews worked to untangle the Eagle’s chain from its anchor. Behind the Eagle came the USS Carter Hall, a 610-foot, 16,360-ton Navy dock landing ship with a crew of 397 which support amphibious operations including landings of U.S. Marines and other forces onto hostile shores. The ship and crew spent nine months last year supporting Operation Enduring Freedom as well as flood relief efforts in Pakistan. Docked directly across the Fort Trumbull pier from the U.S.S. Eagle was the Cisne Branco, a vessel built in Amsterdam in 1999 for the Brazilian Navy. The Cisne Branco's tour includes six ports of call in the United States, New York, Norfolk, Baltimore, Boston, Newport, and New London. The Commandant of the 2nd Company Governor's Horse Guard, Major Gordon J. Johnson, and Captain Salvatore Tarantino of the 2nd Regiment Light Dragoons escorted Governor Dannel P. Malloy, and his entourage once they disembarked from the U.S.S. Eagle. The dignitaries included U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Rear Adm. Richard P. Breckenridge, Commander of Submarine Group Two, U.S. Representative Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, Rear Adm. Sandra L. Stosz, U.S. Coast Guard Academy superintendent who presided over OpSail’s opening ceremonies at Fort Trumbull, and OpSail Chairman John Johnson who served as Master of Ceremonies. The U.S. Coast Guard's Silent Rifle Team displayed the American Flag during the singing of the National Anthem. All profits from any sales will be donated to The Friends of the 2nd Co.

2nd Co Govenors Horse Guard Kid Leaves : Kid has been a 2nd Company Governor's Horse Guard horse for the past 12 years. Originally from Vermont he has enjoyed his Newtown home participating in parades and all events pertaining to the Horse Guard. Now 28 years old Kid can no longer be ridden by the troopers, but only by someone very lightweight. LTC UnGrady who has known Kid since he first arrived in Newtown prepared him for his departure. It was a sad occasion for SGT Rosa as Kid was the horse he always rode. The dynamic duo were known for counting together. SGT Rosa would paw the ground with his foot, and Kid would copy him with his hoof. Kid left the Horse Guard for his new home, and his new owner who also has some of Kid's other horse pals on Sunday March 4, 2012.

2nd Co Horse Guard Horses and Barn : The Second Company Governor’s Horse Guard (2GHG) located in Newtown, CT is an all-volunteer state militia unit. It was originally formed to attend and escort the Governor. As an active Cavalry Unit, 2GHG serves the Governor and the State of Connecticut at the direction of the Connecticut Army National Guard, under the command of the Adjutant General, Major General Thaddeus J. Martin. One of the oldest cavalry units in continuous service in the United States, 2GHG was chartered in 1808 and has had a history throughout the years of dedicated service to the citizenry of the State of Connecticut in times of peace and war and to the preservation of the Cavalry in Connecticut. When the Fairfield Hills Dairy Farm property in Newtown became available in 1988, 2GHG Commandant LTC John Ungrady jumped at the chance to have a permanent home. 2GHG has remained at the Fairfield Hills property and continues to grow and change with the times. 2GHG has a herd of some very special horses. They come from many different disciplines before becoming Cavalry Mounts; some experienced life as race horses, show horses, pleasure horses, and field hunters. A few pulled carriages in their time, and some had beginnings roping cattle and rounding up sheep. Three are Mustangs, from the Federal Bureau of Land Management, captured in White Mountain, Skunk Canyon area near Rock Springs, Wyoming. They have realized that domestic living has many advantages - not the least of which is two squares and plenty of hay and grass! There are large box stalls for each horse used to feed them twice a day and to shelter them in the worst weather, but most of their time is spent enjoying a natural outdoor life style which keeps them extremely healthy. They live in a herd, and for part of the year graze on twenty acres of grass. All profits from any sales will be donated to The Friends of the 2nd Co.

2nd Co Gov Horse Guard Girl Scouts Visit 3-12 : The Girl Scout Daisy Troop 50762 from Sandy Hook, CT were very excited when they arrived at The 2nd Company Governor's Horse Guard to learn about, and to meet some of the horses. They began their tour of the barn in the tack room where they were told what horses wear by Haley Taylor. Haley is an experienced rider, and daughter of one of the Troopers. This was followed by a peek outside to see the horses in the pasture. After that it was feeding time for all of the horses who were brought inside and put in their stalls. The Girl Scouts fed many of horses carrots, then had fun meeting, and brushing Patton. Please contact Marleen, the photographer directly to order prints.
