Blackhorse Association

Troopers, Family, and Friends of the 11th Cavalry Regiment

Welcome

Welcome to The Blackhorse Association’s official website. Our organization, founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970, is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to serving our country and our fellow troopers and their families.

We remain committed to our founding principles, which continue to be:

  • To honor comrades who gave their lives in the service of our country and Regiment.
  • To preserve and strengthen comradeship formed in the Regiment.
  • To proclaim and publicize the achievements and traditions of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.
  • To support the troopers actively serving in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.
  • To establish and provide educational scholarships for the children of the Regiment

We are happy that you are visiting our new and improved website! Please check back every so often as we will be updating the site with new features, Association News, Active Regimental News and More! Feel free to contact us should you have any questions or suggestions for our new website.
