CHAS's "Sponsor A Rescued Horse" Program The California Historical Artillery Society uses Standardbred trotters rescued from California's tracks and retrains them as artillery horses. These horses now live on a lush 40-acre ranch in the Salinas Valley. You can help support them by "sponsoring" your favorite horse and contributing toward its care. For more information go to the program page.
