Remount (remonta) regulation for the presidios. Remounts bought with the inspector's approval when captains judge necessary; officers, sargentos & cabos must receive their remount horses by lot (sorteo), not by choice, so the soldier isn't left the worst; light-troop soldier allotted 3 horses + 1 mule (later orders: 2 + 1); dragoon piquetes 1 horse + 1 mule per man; volunteer-company soldier 1 mule. Copia legalizada by Bonilla. Orig. pp.45–47.
