Description
While working for a ranch, a cowboy is most commonly assigned six to eight horses for his use alone. Therefore, all the cowboys’ horses together, make up the remuda. In this painting, which takes place on the Diamond A Ranch, one of the larger ranches in Arizona, the remuda consists of over one hundred head of horses. On such ranches there are usually two cowboys that move the remuda from one camp to another, often many miles apart.
