During the last legislative session, aid for all four volunteer state militia units, particularly both companies of Governor’s Horse Guards, were at risk. These units "have an unbroken line of service to Connecticut going back to the Revolutionary War," according to a news release."The cost of maintaining both of these historically significant and vital volunteer military organizations is minimal when compared to the dedicated service of their members, and essential history of the state that they represent," Hoydick said. "Both units are providing a great deal of funding for what they do on their own, and deserve the support of the state."
The First Company Governor’s Horse Guard is the country's oldest continuously active horse-mounted cavalry unit. Organized in Hartford in 1788, it is headquartered in Avon.
The 1GHG is a volunteer unit of the State Militia under the Connecticut State National Guard. The Friends group is a nonprofit that provides financial support to 1GHG.
