Absolutely awe inspiring!! I raise and show Quarter Horses and Appaloosas and this tour of these magnificent service horses and the men that work in all aspects of this mos was absolutely the highlight of my visit to DC.

We showed up at 3pm on a Thursday (after a very confusing drive to find Hatfield Gate) and were told that they only do tours on Wednesdays.

Historic Stables for the US Army Caisson Platoon, who render honors to America's fallen Service Members. This is the home of the hardest working platoon in the US Army. The stable is open to the public for tours, Tuesday through Saturday from 1200-1600.

Awesome spot. It is the home of the Army's only remaining horse unit. The soldiers of the Caisson Platoon carry the remains of veterans from all branches into their final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery. The stable is open to the public for tours Tuesday through Saturday, 1200-1600.

Questions & Answers

Can you take a guided tour through the stables

Yes! Apply online and schedule one. You have to go through a security checkpoint at the base entrance, show ID, get a badge, then drive to the stables. You’ll be greeted by staff and given a tour. It’s fabulous!

What breed are the horses?

We have a lot of different breeds but it seems that we get quite a few Percherons or Percheron crosses. We have a couple Mustangs, Quarterhorses, and Standardbreds as well.

Are the stables wheelchair accessible?
