Seasonal Work | Summer Trail Drive | Remuda page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 Derived from the Spanish word for "relay of horses," the remuda was the large herd of extra horses that accompanied an outfit during the roundups and trail drives. Each cowboy had a string of six or more cowponies he could use. When they were not being ridden, the horses were penned in a rope corral. The horse wrangler monitored the remuda and would have fresh mounts ready for the cowboys in the morning, at noon, and in the evening for night herding.
