- *🌟 The Border Plate: A Tradition of Honor and Valor 🐴*
Today, we commemorate the gallant history of the First City Troop of Philadelphia with the annual Border Plate equestrian event. This cherished tradition isn’t just a display of horsemanship-it’s a living tribute to the Troop’s brave service during the Spanish-American War.
In 1898, as tensions rose along the U.S.-Mexico border, the First City Troop was called to action. These citizen-soldiers, mounted on horseback, patrolled the rugged terrain, demonstrating unmatched dedication and resilience. The Border Plate honors this legacy, celebrating the Troop's enduring spirit and their vital role in safeguarding our nation.
Each year, riders of the First City Troop come together, not just to compete, but to honor the memory of those who served on the border over a century ago. As they navigate the course, they remind us all of the rich heritage of duty and service that the First City Troop continues to uphold.
Join us in paying tribute to these remarkable soldiers and the timeless traditions they preserve. 🇺🇸
