Apache Campaigns - Fort Huachuca - U.S. Army

stables of Texas and Arizona are ordinarily mere sheds. In these that I am describing, at the head
of each stall is a placard of tin, bearing the following data: the number of the horse, its name, the
name of its rider, and the number of its rider. Underneath this placard is a roller of salt, a patent
arrangement for the horse to lick. The saddles, covered with a piece of canvas, are suspended on
wooden hooks at the rear of the stalls. In each stall is a little canvas contrivance for holding a
curry-comb and brush.
Similar stables are being built for the other troops of the post. Between every two sets is
a corral, formed by fencing them together at the ends. 122
