- Chico Cavalry: "Following
the trend set by Theodore Roosevelt and his “Rough Riders,”
the Chico Cavalry of the California State Militia has been performing
all of its drills dismounted.
- "Yesterday members of the troop assembled at the Chico Riding Academy for two hours of extensive mounted drill. Troopers learned the commands and positions of the platoon on line mounted and dismounted, position assumed to and dismount, stand to horse, column of fours, column of twos, column of troopers and fours right.
- "According to Capt. Lores A. Colburn the reason for this drill is to have a unit of cavalry available in case of emergency that is alert, mobile and uniform, to eliminate confusion in case of an invasion and to be in a better position to guard their objectives, homes and property. The Chico Cavalry Troop is licensed by the State of California’s State Militia.
- "The Cavalry needs more mounts and will feed and care for any animals, whether broken or not, if it may have the owner’s permission to drill with the stock."
