remounts

Gets on again

Remounts is the plural of remount, a fresh horse provided to replace one that is tired, injured, or killed.

The term belongs primarily to military history, when cavalry units required a steady supply of replacement horses: The regiment awaited remounts before continuing the campaign.

A remount depot was a facility for procuring and training such horses.

The verb remount means to mount again—getting back on a horse, bicycle, or other conveyance after dismounting.
