RDR2 - Dancer

Copied from Race Class page.

This is the best race horse you can get early if you have the Special or Ultimate Edition. The only downside is the low health and stamina and I did have to revive her once after a gunfight. Because I have such a big imagination, I named her Dancer which is a nod to the great stud Northern Dancer. It was nice to be able to outrun enemies with a super fast horse while learning the controls. I used her as PC's preferred mission mount but she did a little free roaming. I disliked taking her to highly populated areas like St. Denis. People are so pushy and impatient there. It's very easy to get into trouble. I improved over time but the first few trips were harrowing. I should have known it would be her ultimate undoing. We got dumped there late at night after a mission. I managed to run over somebody in the dark and rather than deal with the consequences I chose to load an autosave. Dancer reappeared by the railroad track and I immediately got them both hit by a train. PC somehow survived but Dancer was in bad shape. Rather than just revive her, like an idiot I loaded the autosave not realizing it was a new autosave with a dead Dancer. I could have then just gone back to Valentine to get another one but I was really attached to this Dancer and obviously wasn't thinking that clearly. Too many aggravating things had happened since I last was able to manually save and PC just wanted food, a bath and a good night's sleep so we went off to the stable and got PC his first non free stable horse. RIP Dancer. Sniff.
