Caballada is a Spanish-derived term used in the American Southwest and Western ranching culture to describe a herd or remuda of horses — specifically the string of spare horses kept by a cattle outfit or ranch for daily use. It comes straight from the Spanish tradition of horsemanship that shaped Western US ranching culture. You'll find the word in historical accounts of trail drives, cowboy memoirs, and Southwestern literature, where managing the caballada was a critical responsibility.
