Half brother to Man O' War US Remount stallion The Army Remount Service was designed to help the Army build a good source of horses for the Cavalry. Breeds included in the program consisted of Thoroughbreds, Morgans and Arabians. Remount stallions allowed ranchers to improve their horses using well-bred stallions with good conformation without spending a lot of money. The stallions were free to the ranchers to use and the colts produced could be sold back to the government at the age of three for $155.00 apiece. The horses not selected were left to sell and use as the rancher pleased. By 1944 there were six Remount Depots: Front Royal, Virginia; Lexington, Kentucky; Sheridan, Wyoming; San Angelo, Texas; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Pomona, California^
