Grullo Dun Mustang Acquired: Wild. Availability: Spawns in the wild. Unnamed.
Health 4, Stamina 4, Speed 3, Acceleration 2.
The mustangs represent the war and work multiclass. They aren't speedsters but their Health and Stamina numbers are respectable and they are easily acquired as an early game mount. They seem to have good temperaments. The silvery mane and the dark feathering caught my eye with this one. You can see a bit of the dorsal stripe on the back. Not the nicest conformation but hey just trying to survive right.

Wild Bay Mustang. Acquired: Wild. Availability: Spawns in the wild. Name: Cactus Clay.
Health 4, Stamina 4, Speed 3, Acceleration 2.
We went south in search of horses and were having a rough time. I didn't expect that a mustang would be our easiest capture but that was before I knew how to do it properly. I wanted a shot of the cactus and he let me know what he thought of posing in a bunch of prickly bushes. I was so amused that I named him Cactus Clay. That was really the only adversity we faced. I thought he was a nice little fellow though.

Amber Champagne Missouri Fox Trotter. Acquired: Scarlett Meadows Stable. Availability: Chapter 4. Name: Country Club.
Health 5, Stamina 6, Speed 7, Acceleration 5.
The two Missouri Fox Trotters are the only work and race class horses and they are awesome. I was fascinated by the amber champagne coat colour designation but the best I could come up with for a name was Country Club. I decided we should ride down to St. Denis and suffered an unusual black bear attack. I wasn't at all prepared and the PC got killed. When we recovered, we found that unattended boat I had been looking for and goofed around with that for a while. He took getting bumped and jostled in St. Denis pretty well. On the way back to New Elizabeth I thought it would be fun to use a fast working horse to rope a deer and it was. Before we were all done, we went through a couple of wolf attacks and survived. He did get worked up though. All in all, a very good horse.

Gold Turkoman. Acquired: St. Denis Stable. Availability: Chapter 4. Name: Colonel.
Health 7, Stamina 5, Speed 6, Acceleration 5.
The Turkomans represent the war/race class. I find them similiar to Thoroughbreds but hardier. And they have some quirks of their own. We don't know for sure what Europeans meant by Turkish or Turkoman horses but it's a given that military officers returned from the field with quality horses. That was the inspiration for Colonel's name. Colonel was meant to replace Dancer as a mission horse and he filled that role nicely. Initially, he was rather rambunctious but bonding alleviated that. He did not like standing still very much and seemed happiest going forward which he also did very nicely. He was constantly stretching and extending his neck. He did go on a hunting trip. He threw the PC during a cougar attack and got worked up over one wolf. He was a little high strung but solid under gunfire and a pleasure to ride.
