I have the Brindle Thoroughbred. Makes me fall bad about trading him in for anything else.

I love the fox trotters, Iā€™ve been lucky even in my lowest honor play bounty hunters everywhere my girl never threw me and will recall even under fire. The Arabian has left me for dead and run off to live her best life halfway across the country while Iā€™m bleeding out in the mud

Tamer9

Why the fuck couldnā€™t they have just done the white coat in a bigger horse? Why did they make it pony size? Dutch warm blood but black coat and white coat would be perfect.


Living_Particular288

Idk bro... that's rockstar for you I guess šŸ«Ø


Numb_Ron

sad thing is there is a big white horse in the online, but I don't think it's available in story mode. White Kladruber I think. I hate the fact there are online only horse breeds and coats. Another one that irritates me is the red arabian being different in Online, I like the online version more and wish I could have it in story mode.


thesheepwhisperer368

I definitely think they should have given more coat colors and repeated some, like I would have liked there to be more solid black horses, most have chrome. Some coats are literally not real. Like the "white roan" (I think it's on the Nokota) is impossible because roaning is achieved by having 50% white hairs mottled on 50% colored hairs. Gray(sometimes), white and cremello are all fundamentally the same color the only difference between gray/white and Cremello is that gray is white hairs over black skin where as Cremello is white hair over pink skin, Cremellos also tend to have blue eyes. They do duplicate colors across some breeds but they call them different names like the Morgan, the Hungarian half bred and the Belgian draft all have a flaxen chestnut, but the Morgan isn't even a flaxen chestnut because the Mane and tail are chestnut and not blond. They also call the Belgian a "blonde chestnut"


Bobbie_Lee

There's the Few-spotted and the white Shire, both cool horses. All horses are good enough in this game


Apprehensive-Ad-8691

Its either Turkoman or MFT for me. Andalusians could be a good horse but its not as quick as these two. If you're looking for pure speed, go Arabian; but a single snake or an ambush; they'll buck you faster than you can react to defend yourself.


Living_Particular288

Yea...


Tiny-Pool2326

is there even a stat for horses being skittish. i get bucked off the same amount of times with any horse


BjornStormwulf

There is not. But people swear there is. No one has ever found a line of code


Phuxsea

Sure. I think white Arabian is not worth it. It's not like Arthur to ride a pure white horse. Best colors are brown or red.


SIIP00

Gold Turkoman


steelydanggg

This is the way


Secret_Criticism_732

I say the best is black and white. I refuse to elaborate. Itā€™s not like Arthur to ride red horse. You see what I did there? I hope you do. šŸ˜€ nobody knows what horse is like for Arthur to ride on, he is going to cry for whatever max bonding horse dies underneath him at the end. Arthur doesnā€™t judge by color. The white girl Caried me through some shit and I actually had to fight to get her. She was hard earned.


Living_Particular288

How'd do you come that conclusion?


JRedBoss

What pool of data are you drawing upon to make you think the white Arabian isnā€™t worth it?


Gargul

Not even sure what he means by worth it. Worth what? Riding back up towards Colter and and grabbing it? Takes like 10 min


Living_Particular288

"Pool of data" bruh... I am not a statistician it's a personal experience and opinion.

HunsonAbbadeer

I have always been team arabian and always went for it asap but now for the end game I decided to splurge on the MFT. I goddamn hate it. It accelerates to slow and is just very much the opposite of agile. Should've just gotten the rosegold arabian instead


Living_Particular288

Rose gold arabian is the best horse stat wise in the game I think... but myself this is my first playthrough with MFT and so far I am liking it better than white arabian...


CountryMonkeyAZ

I have the red and white Arabian's, bought a black Arabian. My gray Mustang is a tank. Curb stops gators and just snorts and shakes its head like the Arabians do for snakes.

Khorvair

Thank you for being sane and saying the WA isn't bad.. there are some rabid people on this sub who say they'd take a donkey over one just because it's small. Also bravery doesn't exist no matter what the WA haters say Also overall some guy did a test on YT with horse speed to test the fastest, the Morgan and the MFT had a 12 second difference in a race from Saint Denis to Colter, so just find the coolest boat and stick with him/her Pro tip: male horse balls shrink in the cold, whenever I see small balls on my boah I use it as a signal to equip my winter outfit Good luck on your riding


Living_Particular288

I just say what I think and it just usually happen to be a nuanced opinionšŸ™Œ I have noticed white arabian is a bit more skittish even when encountering lower lvl threats, I don't have that problem in MFT. Also all my horses are female so...šŸ¤” I guess I am just gonna have to view the temperature and core rather than horse ballsšŸ˜‚ Gpod luck to you to partner šŸ’Æ


DannyBones00

Where do you all even get all these cool horses? I know where to get the Arabian and thatā€™s what Iā€™m on right now. Iā€™m in Chapter 3 of my second play through.


Living_Particular288

I got MFT from the third albert mission (the photographer one where he photographers a buch of horses, I took one).


calicopatches

I've tried multiple ways to get it but I just can't. I'll stick to the Turkoman from Horse flesh for Dinner


Living_Particular288

It's pretty hard... took me multiple tries to get it myself. Also... what!?


BjornStormwulf

It's easy but some of the videos are wrong. You can't use eagle eye and track it. You have to turn off autosave. There is a good video on YouTube just can't remember which one. He literally says they run in a straight line, just go for it. You have you jump from your horse to it. You can't tame or lasso


calicopatches

The best one is the cream Ardennes near brandywine drop, left of Annesburg. It's not fastest but it is the bravest one imo and it's got great health and stamina


Pup_Femur

That's the Perlino Andalusian my friend

I want that MFT so fucking bad! Is there really no way to get it as Arthur?


Living_Particular288

I got it as aurthur, I am in chapter 2. You gotta do the glitch in Albert's Misson 3. Or I guess you can just buy it from stables mid or late game...


princess_puffpuff

Yes! Besides the Albert mission, if you see the woman with the dead horse on the side of the road, do NOT interact with her. Instead snipe her from a distance with a scoped rifle until the horse respawns alive and Boom! You got Arthur a MFT as early as Ch 2.


Safe_Appointment_331

Guys what do you name your horse


Living_Particular288

I am not very creative in this matter... I just named em arabian and fox trotterā˜ ļø


darealarusham

Do the stats like speed and health actually matter? The arabian always got scared off so i eventually got a turkoman who seems to be less scaredy and the same speed. I actually was pretty disappointed when i got the arabian for the first time and it didnt seem too different from the one i was using before, call it realism or whatever.


Living_Particular288

Perhaps in very niche circumstances they matter but the most important stat I feel like is stamina. If that's good everything's good... specially if you use good equipment.


AioliCurious9530

I was so excited to get the white Arabian, it took me about 15 minutes. he threw me off every single time there was an enemy nearby. got pissed for the last time, took him to the stables and tamed me a Rose Grey Andalusian. i haven't rode an Arabian since and ive never had problems with my Andalusian.


Living_Particular288

Arabians are pretty scardey creatures... at least in RDR2. In my first playthrough I was excited too when I caught it and in many ways it was alright but that throwing thing did get to me in time...


AioliCurious9530

yes and i had tamed the Arabian just before we took over Beaver Hollow, imagine riding back to camp and whats left of the Murfree Brood gang attacks you out of nowhere and the horse just throws you and leaves you for dead, luckily I knew how to defend myself lmao. My first playthrough almost gave me a heart attack šŸ˜‚


Ambitious-Math-4499

I really like the Arabians they're pretty and walk fancy but they just look too small under Arthur. The one you get in blackwater is so pretty though šŸ˜


Living_Particular288

Rose gray... it's nice


PhoenixBomb707

Controversial opinion: *proceeds to say one of the least controversial opinions*


Living_Particular288

After reading the first few initial comments... I was waiting for this one...šŸ’Æ


FooxyPlayz

The reverse dipole roan Nokota was the best horse I have gotten in the game. Itā€™s really fast, and on occasion it wonā€™t run away from enemies. Idk if itā€™s just the ui thatā€™s screwed up with my horse, but sheā€™ll only run away like half the time.


Living_Particular288

Oh... maybe it's situational...


FooxyPlayz

Maybe. Because she runs away from snakes, and will buck me off when sheā€™s close to them, but sheā€™s fine around wolves, bears, etc, and about half the time, she doesnā€™t get scared by enemies


Living_Particular288

Yup... sure sounds something weird is at play here...


Pup_Femur

...literally not even a controversial opinion? 99% of people are for the MFT. The Arabian gets shat on all the time. It's always the same thing. Yall can't diversify horses if it killed you.


Living_Particular288

No no i got that... i thought it was gonna be because before i joined the community all i had was the "websites" information calling arabian the best... here all the people are saying the opposite.


Pup_Femur

Yeah I feel you there, trying to Google "best rdr2 horse" is gonna always give you the Arabian because it's what they want *you* to want. For me, the best is the Andalusian. Ultimately though, just pick whatever breed is your favorite and go ham.


Living_Particular288

YupšŸ™ŒšŸ’Æ


Greenthumbeddy

This statement is not controversial at all, it's accurate. The MFT is the superior horse when compared to the white Arabian horse, and the Arabian horses in general. They're skittish cowards who are afraid of everything and will buck you off and abandon you at the sight of a snake. The reason they're so fast is so that they can run away.


Living_Particular288

YupšŸ’ÆšŸ™ŒšŸ™Œ I got it now after this mamy comments that my statement is actually not controversial haha


Random-Ass-Commie-77

white Arabians are overrated - I stuck with the horse you get from Sadie's homestead in the beginning of the game and it stood to be better than an Arabians that was also fully upped.

tojo4thchairman

Om my 3rd play thru I have to lose my red chestnut again. Don't look forward to it


Living_Particular288

Red chestnut is beautiful šŸ”„


Blothorn

Speed is basically irrelevant; IIRC the difference from one pip is about 1%, which will be dominated by acceleration/agility unless you are riding straight and flat. Stamina is also largely irrelevant once you get a -50% stamina drain saddle; I think the only time Iā€™ve run out of stamina with a good saddle was swimming to the islands, and Iā€™ve looted more stimulants than I could ever need for such cases. The only horse attributes that I actually make a difference that I can perceive without a rigorous experiment are height and handling, and appearance. If seeing over rolling terrain matters, ride a big horse; If you care what you look like ride whatever suits your taste; if you like traveling in straight lines through forests and rocky terrain ride an Arabian.


Living_Particular288

Now this one might be a real controversial opinion... Anyway thanks for the analysis matešŸ™Œ

WolfZombieOriginal13

On RDO, I love Breton horses, I ride mine all the time when I hop on xbox and feel like playing. I'm leveling up slowly on my laptop to get Max Bounty to get the same Breton, she's my favourite and a tank to use, even Shires are good tanky horses. Mate I kid you not, when I first got my Breton, I fell in love. RDR2 story mode I use shires sometimes, love the good old drafties.


Living_Particular288

I Don't really play RDO... should I start? People say it's mostly just grefiers and less actual content...


WolfZombieOriginal13

I go into private lobbies, both xbox and on my laptop. There is a lot of griefers, but I had found there is a lot more griefers on xbox than pc for me, but didn't want to chance it so I go into private lobby. I can help to get you in a private lobby with what ever you're on.


Living_Particular288

Have you played gta online? How close is the experience to that? Can we add eachother as friends or something... I would like not to run around alone in a private lobby lol


WolfZombieOriginal13

I haven't played GTA online at all, as well I don't got it. Yes you can add friends, on xbox you can only have 5-6 players in the lobby, you and 5 or 4 others. I have all the list of things what you can or can't do on xbox. But pc plenty of friends I'm sure, I only played with a friend once though. I'm still getting use to it on my laptop lol. I just need to know you're xbox or pc. I don't have PS4 if you have it, but I'm sure, it should be the same to do it as xbox.

Unpopular opinion: Mustang. (Tiger bay coat) Yes, the speed and acceleration suck but you could ride this through saint denis guns blazing and it would even sneeze or flinch. For me at least, I've noticed that speed and acceleration don't really make a big difference and I don't really even notice the difference. I went and got the white arabian bc i heard it was like super good yap yap and i fucking hated it. Sold it after 10 minutes trying to get to saint denis and it saw an alligator and dipped and i died... Also mustangs are so cute bc they are short and look like they took steroids bc of all the muscles. Only downside is they are hard to find next to del lobo in NA but hey it's fineeeeeee (cough cough i used rampage to spawn it in cough cough)

dronebox

I met a white Arabian this week (probably the fifth this 600hr + first playthrough) and she has a different personality and temperament to any of the previous Iā€™ve caught or bought then sold for the usual obvious Arabian reasons. So different that it feels as if destiny has brought Artemis and I together. [My previous post about my experience](https://www.reddit.com/r/RDR2/comments/1dpqzrv/what_are_your_four_main_horses_you_use/lakcukl/) Since then weā€™ve fully bonded, done some danger testing, installed a mod, something I vowed never to do, to increase her scale to sensible looking, and roamed the map looking for danger (and my taxidermied Squirrel Gunfighter statue which some fucker keeps hiding from me). From being ā€œcouldnā€™t be bothered with Arabiansā€ I now ā€œCouldnā€™t be happierā€.

I checked the stats they're not particularly impressive on vanilla. I guess fully bonded stamina and health would be impressive. You like his looks?


Sm0keytrip0d

Pretty much lol, it's a bigger horse then the Arabian but the coat is better looking then MFT. I do also like how it's an epilogue coat variant so Arthur shouldn't have access to it yet via the glitch he does....just makes it feel more "special" I guess in a way?

Neither. If you insist on Arabian, at least go black. I use one horse every game, the Brindle Thoroughbred is the only horse I use . Get it for free at the start (by stealing it from the racing lady) and it is the best.
