WHO WE ARE:
The Second Company Governor’s Horse Guard (2GHG) was chartered in 1808 originally to protect and serve the Governor of Connecticut. It is an all-volunteer unit which continues to serve the State under the direction of the Connecticut Army National Guard and the Adjutant General. It carries on the great tradition of the US Cavalry and honors the special relationship between horse and soldier. Today, the main duties of the unit are ceremonial in nature: partaking in parades and providing public educational service to schools, scouting groups, and those with special needs.

The Newtown Bridle Lands Association (NBLA) is a nonprofit volunteer organization formed in 1978 within the town of Newtown, CT. Their goal is to foster an interest in horseback riding as well as preserving, protecting, and maintaining riding and hiking trails in the community. Since their land trust was formed in 1988, the NBLA has focused more of its efforts on working with landowners and developers to maintain crucial links in Newtown’s trail system. They host educational lectures, demonstrations and workshops for their members, as well as fun group trail rides to many locations. An annual membership is $45.
