Remuda

Look up remuda in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

A remuda is a horse herd from which ranch-hands select their mounts. The word is of Spanish derivation, meaning 'remount', i.e.: "change of horses", and is in common use in the American West.

The person in charge of the remuda is generally known as a wrangler. The wrangler provides spare horses during roundup, when cowboys change mounts three to four times a day.
