RPG Tourist's Red Dead Redemption Horseback Tour

Sometimes really odd things happen like a wild turkey flying up and landing head first on your horse. I loved the female Rose Gray from play through one but I wasn't crazy about her appearance compared to the other Andalusians. I've changed my mind on their looks and I liked this male version just as much. Amigo did the last missions for Chapter 6 so I tried to do a little scenic view with him.

Looks like Arthur caught a seahorse. I don't know why Bean was roaming around the river but she finally settled over on the other side. We were in cougar country so that might have been it. This horse is probably light gray with scattered black spots but her coat often reflects white. Bean is short for vanilla bean. I must still want an ice cream. The Few Spots is an uncommon coat and a relatively rare spawn. I had almost given up when I found Bean at an NPC camp. This horse has 1 point more stamina than the common Appaloosa. I find them a stable companion for the most part.

There's a couple of things sort of cool about this horse. The Grullo Dun and the Wild Bay are the only multi-class horses that can be easily obtained early game for free. The black stripe along the Grullo Dun's back makes him seem a little more like a true wild horse. The downside is a low acceleration number but after successfully chasing this deer down I'd say that's offset by a decent stamina number. I couldn't get a good angle on the shot of actually roping the deer and we let the little fellow go. Smokey could get agitated but came back under control fairly easily. The Mustangs have a slightly better health number than the common Work class breeds and make for another all purpose option. 

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.

Fer is meeting a new companion in the waning hours of a very busy day. We had three grizzly encounters and made two new discoveries that I had missed in my original game save. So good stuff. His name is the French word for iron. So much crazy went on with this mount that I usually never even thought of going into photo mode. My favourite was bolting into a market while being fired on and causing absolute chaos. The Gray isn't the most spectacular of the Kentucky Saddlers but I was very entertained by both Grays I have acquired.

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.

The other half of the Shire comedy duo. Eventually Grace had to be stabled for her own safe keeping and later she continued on her own. I rarely saw player owned horses grazing in my first playthrough so at first I thought "well it's a Shire and Shires do a lot of things". Horses seem to do it more often this time around so maybe more animations got added.
