RPG Tourist's Red Dead Redemption Horseback Tour

Arthur should have acquired this horse much earlier in the game but I was still trying to move past my attachment to Champ, the Palomino Morgan from my original play through. Until I decided that a female would be an entirely different horse that is. Studying an unbonded horse doesn't seem to reveal the gender unfortunately so there's Arthur trying to figure it out. It seemed a little sad that I named her after myself but Victoria is sort of a female complement to Champ. I didn't detect any appreciable differences from Champ. She might have gotten a little more agitated but I spent so much time on Champ that I don't really know. All I remember is that he was a very good boah.

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.

It seems funny to take a photo of a horse named Apollo in the moonlight but this was one of those times I thought the scene warranted a screenshot. My first Gold Palomino was male as well. This one was wandering outside Valentine stable and I just took off with him with no consequences. My experience was the same. He's a nice horse. Nothing much unusual happened. Arthur is carrying a lantern because I thought it might keep wolves away. That didn't work of course but I was so close to Strawberry that I just outran them.
