RPG Tourist's Red Dead Redemption Horseback Tour

I did not intend to do this at all. I had just left the stable with Bullet and was merely trying to run alongside this fellow but I hit the square button either by mistake or by just auto reacting to an on screen prompt and Arthur abruptly leaped over from Bullet, shoved him off and took over his mount. In a panic, I had Arthur remount Bullet and tried to outrun this very persistent, angry guy not at all paying attention to the horse's stamina drain. It was the first time I can remember getting thrown over empty stamina. I then subdued the guy with the lasso, refilled Bullet and got out of there. I have a history with this horse and should have known I couldn't get too far without a calamity. Both were male. 

This horse is pretty much identical to the Special/Ultimate Edition Dappled Black Thoroughbred which ranks 4 on the Chapter 2 list. That and the attractive brindle coat make this a desirable horse. I'd say the Brindle Thoroughbred is ideal for the run away, run away playstyle as long as you keep stamina filled. He's the fastest horse available before Chapter 4 in the standard edition unfortunately not until Chapter 3 and at the price of 450.00. He's not bad under gun fire but takes a while to bond so his cores need closer monitoring at first. Not a great hunting companion.

As I mentioned before, this is the second nutty Andalusian acquired in this playthrough. Both my Dark Bays were male. I spent a lot of time in Lemoyne which Andalusians don't seem to tolerate as well as some other breeds. He improved a lot with maximum bond and heading north. Of course, Diablo didn't really ask to do things like deliberately antagonize grizzlies. I had so much fun with him, he has his own YouTube playlist.

Here's a nicer photo of him showing his form in a park. The Dark Bay Andalusian is probably my favourite RDR2 mount. He is a beauty.
