 Gold’s Dragoons is not a tax-exempt charity but it does help tax-exempt charities with a military mission. As a military organization with a horse cavalry tradition there can be a no better fit for our ethos and history.  The Equus Effect is the charity we support at our annual polo cup game and will continue to do so in future years. 

September 6th, 2024 at the Fairfield Hunt Club:  174 Long Lots Road, Westport, CT. 

Gates open at noon with the game starting at 3pm and ending at 5 pm.
