The Fort Gary Horse is a Canadian militia (i.e. part-time reservist) armoured regiment. It is currently part of Land Force Western Area's 38 Canadian Brigade Group.

History

The regiment was formed in 1912 as the 34th Regiment of Cavalry. In 1913 it was renamed 34th Fort Garry Horse.

In the First World War volunteers from the regiment helped form the 6th Battalion CEF, later Canadian Cavalry Depot, then later The Fort Garry Horse.

In 1920 the regiment was named The Fort Garry Horse in order to perpetuate The Fort Garry Horse of the CEF. In 1936 the regiment absorbed The Manitoba Horse .

During the Second World War the regiment was mobilised as the 10th Armoured Regiment (The Fort Garry Horse). After the war, in 1946, the regiment was reconstituted in the militia.

In 1949 the regiment was renamed The Fort Garry Horse (10th Armoured Regiment). In 1958 the regiment was split into the 1st Fort Garry Horse (in the Regular Force) and the 2nd Fort Garry Horse (in the Militia). In 1970 the Regular Force component was disbanded.
