Help Support CHAS' Horse Rescue Program

The California Historical Artillery Society (CHAS) presently uses over 30 horses that were destined for an unpleasant demise. These ex-trotter race horses, typically of no use to anyone, are discarded at auction by the pound. They are used exclusively by CHAS and given a second chance at life in the service of the "Army."

Any donation to help support these horses is greatly appreciated. And all donations are tax deductible!

You may donate online with PayPal. Select the amount you wish to donate and click the PayPal button.
