RPG Tourist's Red Dead Redemption Horseback Tour

Well, I have to admit this horse had some issues. This particular episode was over a snake which had already departed. I don't think I subjected the other Belgian to too much crazy so I can't really compare. I like the feathering and the flashy trotting action but Shires have that too. The extra point in acceleration isn't really a difference maker.

Horses do stick their tongues out but this is the first time I caught it so clearly with photo mode. This is a draft horse I liberated from a camper. The Suffolk Punch is shorter than the other draft types but Arthur seems to grunt while mounting no matter the breed. I had to look up what Sorrel actually meant as a colour and it seems to mean red horse without black markings that you could also call chestnut. It's probably more of a regional term or maybe a particular shade of red. OK then. She does have a very cute forelock. Sometimes I have in game luck that has nothing to do with the horse but causes me to remember them fondly.

This bison makes the sturdy Suffolk Punch look small. They're not really that big are they? It might be a trick of perspective but I struggled to get both of them in the frame. We encountered the bison on it's own and the opening under the bridge slowed it down a bit so we were able to ride alongside for a few moments. Technically, Rufus was stolen but he was acquired from two very stupid strangers so I prefer to say "adopted". I called him Rufus for no particular reason. He was serviceable and agreeable.

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. 

Cut this one free from a wagon in Rhodes. This time I got caught and had to flee to the nearest post office. Somewhere on our travels we came across the light gray Shire. It was a little difficult to get them to pose for a photo. She was quiet but George couldn't stay still. I could rock a whole play through with these two. The only comedy duo I could think of was George and Grace. The stable master disagreed with both names. 

This is another horse I sold in play through one not realizing that he is unique and unreplaceable. This time I named him Alfred because he is majestic. He was mostly a good hunting companion but I did try to outrun bounty hunters in the dark. They fell down a cliff. The hardy Alfred survived but Arthur did not.
