The BEST HORSE Breed In RDR2 And Why It's Not an Arabian - Red Dead Redemption 2 Horses

Sorry for The Jacked Up Bit with the horse stats. Feel Free To roast Me. waiting on Youtube to complete the edit. Just In case the skipping caused confusion. Fox Trotter Comes with 7 Speed and 5 Acceleration 7 Stamina and 5 Health, and a much calmer personality. all Arabians have 6 speed 6 acceleration, only the Rose Gray has 7 stamina and 7 health, but worse temperment. both are still amazing horses though.

Real men ride donkeys

Me: cruising 'round Valentine on this Missouri Foxtrotter Some random guy: ,,Wow! This horse is looking better than my wife!"

I lost so many horses that I ran out of names so I started naming them after pornstars. Currently riding Mia Khalifa around.

I miss the donkey in RDR, wearing black suit with top hat and riding slowly in Blackwater seems so majestic.

Y'all arguing over the Fox and the Arabian, while I'm riding with class on my Mule.

THE REAL OGs BE RIDIN THE TENNESSEE WALKER SINCE CHAPTER 1

Buell was also my favorite horse. I had a feeling Arthur's final mission would take his horse too so I chose to bring Buell (despite being my favorite) so he could return to be with his friend. I didn't realize I was going to lose ALL of Arthur's horses. Losing my Thoroughbred in particular hit me unexpectedly hard.

I was pretty stoked when I came a cross the white Arabian while exploring the mountains. This was eventually followed by disappointment when it would get easily agitated just from riding it. Great looking horse, but I usually ride my thoroughbred

Also like how rockstar gives us all these really amazing horses to choose from but only gives us 4 stable spots

Bear sounds coming from far alway. Me: your a good girl Aribian: goodbye

Another thing that I've noted (not sure how true this is or if its just me) but coming from using a thoroughbred for a long time. Once I switched to the Arabian I felt like the handling was waaay worse, turning speed was slower and whilst it has high acceleration it takes alot longer to slow down imo. Which combined with the things you mentioned means coming off the horse alot more. Very frustrating horse. Ill be on the lookout for a fox trotter now. 😉

I got my thoroughbred at the beginning from ultimate edition and named him after my cat. I’ve tried other horses but that horse is flawless..has the black dapple coat, fast as can be and has never thrown me off…it’s an absolute unit n I love it.

In real life, the Missouri Fox Trotter is a gaited horse and produces a very smooth ride....they were bred to ride long distances and do farm work and things like that...Arabians originate in the desert and are best at endurance type work...Arabians are fast and naturally have one less vertebrae in their backs making them great for carrying a rider and that is also why they carry their tails higher, however, they tend to be hotter tempered and flighty (definitely not all Arabians are like that though)...I work in the horse industry and find the details added to the horses in this game really interesting!!

The best horse is clearly the Scrawny Nag.

Me with my shire: hi- Literally everyone:that horse is all bulk that's it.complete trash My shire:proceeds to run over said person

I remember being excited about finding the fabled white horse up north in the snowy parts of the map (That almost all online guides recommend you to search for, BTW), which happens to be an arabian, only to find myself frustrated at how nervous the thing was. Yeah sure, it was a freaking speeding bullet, and to get it quite early in the main story was amazing, but at the cost of having to ride away from most gunfights because the poor girl would get nervous at the first sound of a gun being fired. I remember thinking to myself "I miss my old horse" very often...

Everyone is arguing on who’s the better one between Arabian and Fox, and here i am riding peacefully with a Thoroughbred from the ultimate edition package.

Uncles horse has lumbago and a mustache

The white Arabian is a good girl. I named her Lily. Both story mode, and I found her again in the epilogue and pretended it’s the same horse...and again in RDO and pretended that I inherited her again. lol She’s my fav. I mastered the routine of hopping off Lily as soon as there’s danger, and let her flee to safety. I take out predators and gunfights on foot. Some might think it’s a chore, but I don’t mind to ensure her safety. 🥰
