The Mounts

Company A

Phantom

Phantom is an 18.3 hands Friesien Thoroughbred cross. He is 7 years old and is the lead mount in any engagement. He is owned by the Regiment's Captain, Charles A Milburn of Saybrook, Illinois.

Cricket

Cricket is a 9 year old Tennessee Walker. She is the pasture mate of Phantom. She is a gentle horse and takes direction well from her rider. Cricket is owned by Captain Milburn.

Dakota

Dakota is a Missouri Foxtrotter. He is inquisitive, but cooperative and gets along well with his pasture mates Phantom, Cricket, and Kit. Dakota is owned by Trooper Remington Kane.

Winchester

Winchester is a Chestnut Quarter Horse. He is 6 years old and around 15 hands. He came to us from Southern Illinois and is a happy and affectionate horse with just a touch of that child-like mischievousness, which apparently makes him well-suited to his owner, Sergeant Alan Kilgore.

Ransom

Ransom is a 22 year old 16.1 hand Saddlebred. He was an Amish buggy horse for many years. He has been retired from battle but still proudly serves the 10th as a parade mount. Ransom is owned by Corporal Dawn Conlin.

Kit

Kit is a 16 hands Quarterhorse Arab Cross. He is the pasture mate of Phantom, Cricket and Dakota. He has an unusual task as the mount for Ray Schaefer, the Regiment scout. Kit is trained for gunfire as well as cannonfire, but also has to be prepared to make a quick getaway when the scout is "discovered" behind enemy lines.

Ulysses

Ulysses is a 16 hands Tennessee Walker, about 8 years old. He is the son of 10th Cavalry mare, Cricket. He is owned by the 10th Cavalry Regiment and is sponsored by Colonel Ted Henry. Ulysses is new to the Regiment in 2010 and will learn quickly what he needs to do. He has an assertive peronsality but responds very well to instruction. We expect him to do well on the battle field. He is, of course, named after General Ulysses S. Grant.

T.J.

TJ is a 14 hands Tennessee Walker, about 10 years old. He is the older brother of 10th Cavalry mare, Cricket. TJ is new to the Regiment and is expected to make a good musician's mount.

Monty

Monty is a 15 hand, rising five year old Missouri Fox Trotter. He is smart, curious,and generally eager to please. He is fairly sure he is a people, not a horse.
