== Chronology ==The first recorded use of Horse Artillery was in 1756 when the HEIC formed a unit of '''Madras Galloper Guns''' that were faster and more mobile than the bullock and draft horse drawn guns and were able to keep up with cavalry. This unit became Horse Artillery when the '''2nd Troop Madras Horse Artillery''' formed on 23 January 1809. Its modern descendant is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_(Sidi_Rezegh)_Battery_Royal_Horse_Artillery J (Sidi Rezegh) Battery 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery]. *The '''Rocket Troop Madras Horse Artillery'''was the 1st Troop formed in 1805. It became ''' raised*''C'18??Troop Madras Horse Artillery''' in 1825, served in the [[1st China War]] in 1840 and was awarded the honorific title "Dragon Troop". Its modern descendant is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_Battery_(The_Dragon_Troop)_RA P Battery (The Dragon Troop) 5th Regiment Royal Artillery].  In 1862 the Madras Horse Artillery was taken into the British Army[[CategoryRoyal Horse Artillery]] as the 3rd Royal Horse Artillery Brigade.<ref>[http:Madras //books.google.com.au/books?id=J-ERAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA606 "The New Artillery Regiments]Amalgamation"], pages 606-607 (December 1861) from ''Colburn’s United Service Magazine, Volume 97, 1861 Part 3'' Google Books</ref>
