RED BANK, NJ - The armory on Chestnut Street in
Red Bank was built in 1896. The land cost $6000 and the building $15,000. The 112th
Light Artillery and 102nd CAV Troop B boarded 60 horses at the Red
bank armory from the 1890s until WWII. The
armory had a dirt floor at that time and many polo matches, horse shows and rodeos
were held there. In the 1930s a stable master was kicked and killed by one of
the horses. Every trooper had a mount and every horse had a name. Ray Sniffen’s
horse was named Bingo. When the weather was mild they would ride the horses to Swimming River by Newman Springs Road where the horses could
be bathed. On weekends they would ride the horses to Sea Girt and back along with
their supply wagons and light artillery. They slept in tents at Sea Girt and
used the firing range along the ocean.
