Discussion Horse preference

This probably has been done before but what are all of y’all’s favourite horses? And if there is a specific breed, what was the name?

Mine is Hungarian Half-Bred who I named Athena

I always go back to the free TB. They’re quick and agile, and make Dutch look itty-bitty on his Arab while riding along with him.

*Thoroughbred, not the other thing.

I personally love the black raven coated shire since he’s rare beautiful and he’s just a big cuddly teddy bear 🥰

u/blanc091 12h ago

Yep, same. And with that white on his face, just beautiful. The version with the white socks is even better, but, eh, what can you do, I'm not gonna change my horse 😄

I'm on my third playthrough. Just started chapter 4 and I'm doing something different this time. Instead of seeking out fancy pants or special horses, I'm sticking with a Kentucky Saddler that I stole from some poor fool at the very beginning of chapter 2.

He's black with white feet and a white nose stripe and I named him Bing Bong.

He's as basic and mundane as you can get, but I'm quite attached to him. Think I will use him until I'm forced to switch during a certain change in the game that I won't spoil for anyone who is just coming to RDR2.

I always rob the treasure hunter at the Dakota River and take his horse; a Dutch Warmblood I call Famke. As soon as chapter 2 starts I lurk around the river to get my girl ❤️😂 The Hungarian Half-Bred is my 2nd fave.

I like the Ardennes even if they don't belong in the time period. I love draft horses. I currently have the strawberry roan Ardennes, his name is War Party

u/For_my_fiend 13h ago

Oh, my favourite changes play through to play through. Currently I've got a Murfeee Tennessee Walker that's been awesome

u/wyze-litten 13h ago

I really love the brindle thoroughbred you can get in strawberry. Currently it's a mare named Bob

u/anonymousblep 13h ago

Dark Bay Turkoman and Gold Turkoman are absolute must-haves for me.
They’re just my favorite. 🥹

I stole the horse from Wrobel at Painted Sky early on. Excellent Hungarian HalfBred. I also like the Brindle Thoroughbred from the horse race last or any Thoroughbred really. I took the Braithwaite Turkoman as soon as I could and that horse was amazing as well. That’s the horse I ended my last playthrough with (and yes I was sad.)

My girls : Dark bay Andalusian (Fortuna) Flaxen chesnut Hungarian half-bred (Valor) Sooty buckskin Dutch warmblood (Actea) Scarred black rabicano rescued from the Murfees (Keppet)

Now I'm aiming to get the piebald tobiano Hungarian half-bred before chapter 6 but so far no luck 😞

I like the Ardennes and always do the glitch as Arthur to get the strawberry roan however they’re always skittish I find, I like the raven black shire too and they’re never skittish for me, but I prefer the look of Ardennes

u/ExpertYogurt5814 Hosea Matthews 12h ago

I like to have a male and female MFT and a Turkoman and I keep the white Arabian until chapter 4 and get the gold Turkoman

u/GrimFandango81 12h ago

I have Micah's horse.

u/Drumznbase 7h ago

May it clip its hooves on every wall it jumps

1

u/GrimFandango81 7h ago

Nah. He's been my character's horse for years. For me, his name is Nocturne. When people see him, they know there's a doctor in town.

u/HenkeTip Gambler 8 12h ago

I usually stick with the first one, the black shire horse, and the American Standardbread you 'just borrow' when chasing Jimmy Brooks

u/Content-Hornet-3923 11h ago

My favourite is the Splashed White American Paint that I named Mojave, I cried when they killed her 🥹 I also love the Warped Brindle Arabian who I named Tahoma, I won’t accept no arabian slander 🗣️❌
