Time Out Presents The The Second Company Governor's Horse Guard

This was an early example of a show that was entirely shot and edited in digital format. Wayne Spires was the cameraman for this shoot and helped with the editing.

Time Out Productions presents the Connecticut Second Company Governor's Horse Guard locacated in the scenic hills of Newtown.

In 1808 Elihu Munson and a number of gentlemen of New Haven, petitioned the General Assembly at its October session, to form a troop of cavalry to function as Governor's horse guards. As a result, the Second Company Governor's Horse Guard (2GHG) was formed by an act of the General Assembly, with Elihu Munson (variously spelled Monson in different places) as Brevet Major. The duties of the original company were "to attend upon and escort the Governor in times of peace and war."

Today, The Second Company Governor's Horse Guard continues to serve Connecticut as willingly as it did during Colonial times. 2GHG is part of the organized militia of the State of Connecticut, under the direction of the Governor, and the National Guard. Although today's Trooper most often rides in ceremonial functions, cavalry military training of horse and rider takes place throughout the year. The public is always welcome to visit during regular drill hours or events.
