RPG Tourist's Red Dead Redemption Horseback Tour

He was troubled by a black bear in the vicinity while Arthur was distracted by an NPC who is currently hidden by the horse. His name was entirely prompted by this photo. He seemed a little noisier than any of the other Nokotas I have ridden including the Reverse Dapple Roan in my previous save. He even had some minor separation anxiety. His stats are the same as the top end Thoroughbreds but he was still easier to handle.

We tried some fishing but that didn't really work as planned. I'm really starting to reach for the names here. Venus got selected to end Chapter 2. I decided to move on even though I have more wild horses to collect and there is still many items to hunt for. Things were getting repetitive however and I was running out of inspiration. I'm stuck on some challenges too. Venus got a lot of usage and held up pretty well.

It was a struggle getting a shot that does justice to this handsome boah. Either the weather was bad, the lighting was too dark or too much crazy was going on to think about it. I thought maybe I could make Arthur do something interesting so we practiced dismounting with weapons drawn. This required some exact button manipulation but one of them didn't look quite right every time. So this is what I came up with. Buffed out this is a pretty nice horse and one of the top stable bargains in Chapter 2. He's faster than the wild race horses, bigger than the Nokota and more stable than the Thoroughbreds. Adonis had an unexpected trick up his sleeve too.

Here we have a horse named Luna watching the sun set on an alligator. Her coat didn't remind me of any candy but did sort of resemble the surface of a far away moon or planet. First play through I know I acquired a male version of this horse after a mission and I know I didn't do anything fancy to get him but I had to purchase Luna from Valentine stable. It was definitely worth it. I really like this horse. A little less edgy in the swamp than others.

Another uninspiring photo of a Dapple Bay. Tennessee Walkers are pretty steady generally. I neglected to note how she was acquired. Probably an impulse taming. She acquired her name during a flubbed lassoing attempt. I failed to hogtie a robber and inexplicably climbed back on the horse while he shot directly at us. She stood there until I got off to hogtie him for certain this time. I thought she must have faith.

I have been doing things a little differently and discovering much I missed the first time and a lot I don't remember well. When Valentine stable unlocked I was confronted with two horses that I had an unreasonable reaction to. The Dappled Black Thoroughbred and the Palomino Morgan are two of my canon horses from my original save. Dancer the Thoroughbred from Chapter 2 to 4 and Champ the Morgan post epilogue. Champ has his own spoiler page about completing the Horseman challenges. I can't think of them as anything else.  I took the Dappled Black for zero dollars, mostly used her as a temporary and refused to name her. The Dappled Black is only available to players with a Special or Ultimate Edition. She was just as anxiety ridden as a temporary as she was as a main horse and seemed to often have her nose practically up the lead horses butt. Inevitably she despawned back at the main camp and reappeared in the stable sometime later where she has stayed.
