SMEC currently keeps their herd of 25-30 horses in vacant lots and abandoned buildings. Surprisingly, the lack of proper facilities has not affected the horses’ health, as they appear to be in good physical condition. However, the group is in desperate need of tack and horse equipment supplies. Items needed the most are horse blankets and riding helmets, but all tack and horse related equipment is badly needed.

People wishing to donate new, or used items (that are in good condition), can drop them off at the Second Company Governor’s Horse Guard’s headquarters located on Wildlife Drive in Newtown weekends between 8 am and 4 pm, from now until December 9.

For any questions or for items to be picked up, please contact LT Robert Dahm at: 270-9246 or email rd2ghg@aol.com.
