Gold Palomino Tennessee Walker. Acquired: Wild. Availability: Spawns in the wild. Name: Nugget.
Health 3, Stamina 4, Speed 3, Acceleration 2.
This horse was added to Story Mode with the update for PC release. He is one of the two fastest Tennessee Walkers which are the slowest horses in the game. He was the first horse acquired for Horseman challenge 10. I did ride him around until bond level 4. I don't have much to say about him other than he was fine. Nothing special really happened, If you like Palomino's, he is another option and has a very rich coat. His Stamina maxes out at 7 which is a decent number.

Health 2, Stamina 4, Speed 4, Acceleration 2.
Yep, another bold daytime heist out of Rhodes. If I had known it was this easy, I would have been doing this much sooner. The Liver Chestnut was added to Story Mode with the update and has 2 stats over 3 unfortunately offset by the low Health number. The Morgan's have the lowest Health number in the game which makes them slightly high maintenance if you insist on riding one. I didn't bother riding this one around since I had already adventured extensively with a Morgan.

| We were so excited over this one we got a fancy new riding outfit. |
Buttermilk Buckskin Kentucky Saddler. Acquired: Wild. Availability: Spawns in the wild. Name: Biscuit.
Health 3, Stamina 3, Speed 4, Acceleration 2.
The most popular NPC horse in the country I swear. Also a late edition to Story Mode. They're probably just more noticeable thanks to the distinctive coat and carriage. A thunderstorm broke out just as I decided we must capture this one and by the time he was tamed, he was so dirty I wasn't sure he was the right horse. He cleaned up beautifully though and I wanted to ride him around town right away. I also searched for fancy drink names but apparently anyone with any sense does not drink alcohol with buttermilk so I settled on Biscuit. He got less skittish around gunfire as we bonded but we did a mission together at level 4 and when dismounted you could hear him when the fireworks started. He obeyed all the rules as all of them do though. The Buttermilk Buckskin is the fastest of all the Kentucky Saddlers so there's that.

Mahogany Bay Tennessee Tennessee Walker. Acquired: Mission. Availability: Chapter 1. Unnamed.
Health 3, Stamina 4, Speed 2, Acceleration 2.
This is our beginner horse from Chapter 1. I am ashamed to say I don't even remember the actual gender. I didn't bother to give her a name or even take a photo. I considered getting another one through cheat codes but I decided that this is what happened and I should just own up to it. Fortunately, the game took a photo. This was before I embarked on my marathon horse project and I was confused about everything. I only knew that I was entitled to a free fast horse and I was short of cash. But hey, I loved the excitable Dancer. The Mahogany Bay has the best Stamina of all but one of the Tennessee Walkers and tolerates Chapter 1 and 2 shenanigans quite well. He's also very pretty.
