Jacob's Review: There is a lot of horses there, and you can sit on the old wagon cart. If you go on Thursday mornings they shoot the cannons and it is real loud - so cover your ears. The soldiers are dressed like olden day soldiers and they use real guns and swords when they are on their brown horses!

Dad's Notes: You can visit the site every day of the week, and you will be greeted by a Cav Trooper who will show you around the grounds. It is best to visit during the week as everyone is there working the daily care of 42 horses, 7 mules & equipment! You will be shown around to see horse shoeing (by soldiers), saddle making (they make all their own), riding, training, vetranarian, weapons demonstrations, ammo making and cannon maintenance.
Every Thur at 9 am - soldiers, families and kids on field trips can be found "Hootin' and Hollerin' " in the stands to see the spectacular Cavalry demonstration and show. A great show, very colorful with balloons (for weapons demonstrations), sabers flashing, guns blazing as the Cavalry troopers charge in through a thunderous cloud of cannon smoke. See the wagon charges, sword play and horse Drill and Ceremony (D&C). (Some fantastic riding demonstrations).
School field trips are welcome (you may want to call ahead to get schedule and make any necessary arrangements).

		Drive Directions: Take 190 to Fort Hood Main gate, as you come on to Fort Hood turn right at the Info Shack, take that road back into the Horse Cavalry Area.

The Map is in the Book!

Jacob Tip: When you feed the horses grass, keep your hand flat so it's easy for them to grab the grass with their mouth! Bring a Camera to get some really great pictures!!!
