 Freya

Arthur has gone a little strange here. He thinks he's incognito but that didn't work of course. He's very happy with his massive war mount though. Oh that luxurious mane. I named her Freya because sure why not? The absolute top heavy horse in the game and ranks with the top Andalusions which come in at number 5 in the Chapter 2 list.

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.

 Harmony

File this under fun things to do. I tried to jump from the train to the horse but failed. Failure was a bit of a theme with Harmony. I saved a stranger from outlaws and thought a surviving outlaw was a good candidate for lassoing and dragging. I wound up just running him over with the Suffolk Punch instead. Everyone else had vamoosed except for the patient Harmony who was just standing there for the taking. My first White Roan was female as well. She has the same stats and handling as wild Thoroughbreds but is much quieter and easy to handle.

That's an interesting spot you've put yourself in Thunder. The name is inspired by dose hooves. He does inspire confidence as you thunder along. His stats are the same as the Dark Bay Andalusian and they seem similiar in temperament. So it's a matter of preference between those two. Huffy and refined or snorting and bulky. We spent most of our time cougar hunting and trying to avoid being dumped. He is a fun horse though.

 Hickstead

Yes Hickstead, it is a long way down. Play through one Chocolate Roan was named after a famous female Dutch Warmblood so this one got the name of a famous male. I already had the horseman jumping challenge achievement but Hickstead won the speed upgrade for me at last.  Available at Valentine stable, this is one of the top early game mounts if you can afford it.

Rhapsody was blatantly stolen from a camp. Her owner shouldn't have yelled at me. She's doing the level 3 sideways movement here. This is a horse you might ride for looks rather than stats. I think she is one of the most beautiful horses in the game.

Giselle

I was chasing a pronghorn across the river and suddenly Giselle just soared over a rock. I thought Giselle sort of sounded like gazelle. The pronghorn disappeared from the frame however. Giselle formerly belonged to a man we encountered running on foot and in some kind of distress. Taking the horse was apparently not the correct thing to do but opportunism won over. Giselle surprised me by dealing extremely well with a wolf swarm.

Bangs is a terrible name but the forelock is a notable feature. As far as looks go this is my favourite Tennessee Walker and Arthur looks great riding him. I took him right out of the gang camp. I was doing Horseman Challenge level 2 here.
