In 1908, the Army had built up the U.S. Remount Service, a steed mounted force unit. Its objective was to supply a huge number of steeds for military utilize. To get the U.S Remount Service inspired by Arabians, W.R. Dark colored, leader of the Arabian Horse Registry at the time, composed the main Cavalry Endurance Ride in 1919. With a high respect for thoroughbred Arabians abroad and their developing ubiquity in America, this was an ideal time to persuade the legislature and the Army's Remount Service to breed them. Lamentably, there were just 362 enrolled Arabians in the nation in 1919. With so couple of Arabians, it was not a simple undertaking to discover enough of them to satisfactorily speak to the breed in the perseverance ride. Indeed, even with this test, the Arabian steeds made an unrivaled appearing, taking the greater part of the prizes incorporating in front of the rest of the competition in the continuance ride. W.R. Dark colored won in front of the pack on his thoroughbred Arabian horse named Ramla #347. She conveyed 200 pounds amid the ride.
The second Calvary Endurance Ride occurred in 1920 and this time, the U.S. Remount Service was significantly more included. The weight conveyed by the steeds was expanded from 200 pounds to 245 limits. The stallions voyaged sixty miles a day for 5 days with a base time of 9 hours every day. The Arabian steeds fared well again as they had the most noteworthy normal purposes of any breed entered. This time, nonetheless, a review Thoroughbred that was entered by the Army took ahead of everyone else.
Albert Harris, the Arabian Horse Registry Director from 1924 to 1949, trusted that the Thoroughbred Jockey Club gave the Army $50,000 in 1921 with the goal that they could buy the best Thoroughbreds they could discover with expectations of beating the thoroughbred Arabians entered in the 1921 perseverance ride. Mr. Harris composed:
"With two continuance rides to the credit of Arabian steeds in 1919 and 1920, the U.S. Remount, and by chance the Jockey Club, felt something must be done to beat these little steeds in the following ride...".
The Army acquired a few review Thoroughbreds and wanted to have Cavalry majors ride them. The Army additionally needed the conveyed weight constrain decreased back to 200 pounds. Since the Arabians had demonstrated their backbone at 245 pounds, the Arabian Registry questioned. In the long run, a the two sides traded off at 225 pounds.
Notwithstanding the Army's endeavors to have their review Thoroughbreds beat out the Registry's Arabian stallions, the primary prize in the 1921 Cavalry Endurance Ride went to W.R. Dark colored's thoroughbred Arabian gelding, Crabbet #309. W.R. Dark colored, with his Anglo-Arab gelding named Gouya, won the trophy for the third time in 1923.
W.R. Darker (and the Arabian Registry) had won the Calvary Endurance Ride three times with their Arabian stallions. By then, Mr. Darker increased changeless ownership of the U.S. Mounted Service Cup. Albert Harris wrote in his history of the Arabian Horse Registry:
"... after 1923, the Arabian individuals chose not to enter their steeds in the ride. This was done "so that the Army would have a possibility of winning the glass whenever."
Really, there was one special case. The Arabian individuals permitted the U.S. Remount Service to enter an Arabian stallion, El Sabok #276, in the 1925 continuance ride. The stallion wound up taking ahead of all comers however he was not granted the trophy as a result of a little welt raised under the cantle (anticipating back part) of his seat. The U.S. Bureau of Animal Husbandry noted, however, that of all stallions of different breeds entered in the greater part of the rides, El Sabok was the first and final one to complete a ride.
Completely persuaded that Arabian steeds had enormous perseverance, the Army wanted to build up a supply of seat stallions that could be called to benefit if necessary. Since Arabian stallions were rare at the time and hard to acquire, the Army's reproducing program didn't generally get off the ground until 1941. This is the point at which the Arabian Horse Registry chiefs chosen to give the core of an Arabian stud to the U.S. Remount. Every chief and Mr. W.K. Kellogg (of the Kellogg oat organization) actually gave at least one steeds. An aggregate of one stallion, seven broodmares (six in foal), one suckling filly, and three two-year-old fillies were set at the Fort Robinson Remount Depot in Fort Robinson, Nebraska.
By 1943, the quantity of Arabian steeds the Army claimed was second just to the quantity of Thoroughbreds they possessed. Later that same year, W.K. Kellogg (an Arabian Horse Registry Director from 1927 to 1940) and Albert Harris, helped the U.S. Remount Service pick up ownership of Mr. Kellogg's Arabian stud in Pomona California. The stud was initially given to the condition of California, however with World War II warming up, the U.S. Remount Service felt they had a requirement for it. In October of 1943, Mr. Kellogg was effective in getting the California Board of Regents to turn over the Arabian Ranch (and 97 thoroughbred Arabian stallions) to the U.S. Armed force for use as a remount station. The farm was claimed by the War Department from 1943-1948 and was known as the Pomona Quartermaster Depot (Remount).
Later in 1948, the Army chosen to discard all its steed operations to the most astounding bidder. In June of 1949, President Harry S. Truman marked a bill which exchanged the farm back to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. On July 2 of that same year, the California Legislature passed Assembly Concurrent Resolution No.100 which supported the exchange of the farm from the Kellogg Foundation to the California Polytechnic College. Right up 'til the present time, the school keeps on keeping up a prestigious Arabian rearing project. As fighting has turned out to be more innovative, the Arabian stallion has made its move from the Army to being utilized as a part of different equine game exercises and a charmed equine to steed fans and families.
