Over the years, the Troop participated in numerous parades, civic and historical events, re-enactment's and also provided authentic, mounted Cavalry for television and motion picture productions. This parade, however, was ultimately canceled due to extreme weather conditions. Riding in an adaptation of the late era United States Cavalry uniform, tack, equipment and weapons, the Troop prides itself upon its' horsemanship and presentation.
All Troopers own their own mounts and are experienced riders.
We were fortunate in having the benefit of his leadership, experience and friendship for so many years. Captain Raftery will be greatly missed. In an expansion of our passion for horses and the history and traditions of the United States Cavalry, 6thCavalry E Troop evolved into a cavalry troop of the pre-World War I era, representing the span from the Territorial Days of Arizona through Statehood in 1912 and beyond. We then undertook a campaign to create an Arizona Governor's Horse Guard. After much effort and with the support and assistance of Arizona Governor Fife Symington, the Troop provided a mounted escort for the Governor and First Lady on numerous occasions between 1991 and early 1994.
