Meet the Horses
Welcome to the ‘mane event’ page, our wonderful horses! Get to know some of our mighty steeds and come see them at an event!The California Historical Artillery Society’s (CHAS) horse of choice for artillery work are Standardbreds off the track; ex-harness racehorses that were done racing or breeding and in need of a forever home. Some of these Standardbred horses are adopted by CHAS and given a second chance at life in the service of the “Army” providing educational opportunities for the public. These horses are the highlight of our unique historical impression!
You can help support them! With our Horse Sponsor Program, you can select a specific horse to support. All feed and vet care for the CHAS horses comes from tax-deductible donations like yours so any amount is appreciated!
