borderlands, the soldiers kept large horse herds around their presidios and
other garrisoned places (flying company posts, fortified haciendas, etc.). The
regulations called for each soldier to have six horses and a mule. These add
up. So there was plenty of horses to be raided, and there are many Spanish
documents chronicling such raids by both the Comanches and Apaches.
