Draft Horses: Part 2

 This page includes screenshots taken after the epilogue and may reveal locations and plot details. Horses acquired through missions are indicated but missions not detailed.  If you're only interested in the best horses available early game please check out the horse database at https://www.gtabase.com/red-dead-redemption-2/  where you can sort for availability.                                                 

Horses featured are available in Story mode only and are sorted first for availability and then statistics. 

Aside from one exclusive Shire, draft horses can only be acquired through theft but all are available from Chapter 2 on. The Shire's best stat is Health, the Suffolk Punch's is Stamina and the Belgian's is Acceleration. All have heavy handling. Aside from the heavy handling, the extra point in Acceleration make Belgians a cut above most of the Riding class.

On the lam.

Sorrel Suffolk Punch.  Acquired: Mission. Availability: Chapter 2. Unnamed.

Health 3, Stamina 4, Speed 3, Acceleration 2. 

I took another opportunity to swipe a draft horse during a mission. I had no problem keeping this one at a dead run while we escaped. 

Absconding scot-free with Belgian. The wagon he was cut from is visible to the right.

Mealy Chestnut Belgian  Acquired: Stolen. Availability: Chapter 2. Unnamed.

Health 3, Stamina 3, Speed 3, Acceleration 3.

I was expecting some kind of consequences for just brazenly taking this horse in broad daylight. I was a little sneaky and obviously no one actually noticed...but still. Like the Shire, Belgians have very flashy trotting action. I was tempted to ride this one around for a while but this was late in the project and I needed to press forward.

Went right back and took the whole wagon this time.

Blonde Chestnut Belgian   Acquired: Stolen.  Availability: Chapter 2. Unnamed.

Health 3, Stamina 3, Speed 3, Acceleration 3.

We took this wagon later in the day from the exact spot we took the other Belgian. Honour got dinged but otherwise we got away with it again. We went straight to the wagon fence with this one.
