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.

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.

I have classified this horse as stolen because I honestly believe that they don't spawn in the wild. I'm not certain of that however. I have used a Chapter 5 label because players are guaranteed to encounter one during a Chapter 5 mission. Bounty hunters sometimes ride them and players also report finding them at camps. Her numbers are the same as the common Flaxen Chestnut Hungarian Halfbred which ranked at 21 in Chapter 2 but this horse is sought after for size, looks and rarity. I named her Sam short for Samantha? Good Samaritan? I don't know but that's what I named her.

Midas is always raring to go. Both Gold Turkoman I used were a bit rambunctious until fully bonded. Both were also male. Most race horses tend to lunge unexpectedly when startled and it was noticeable with him. In fact, Midas was the first horse I noticed Arthur losing his patience with. It was partly my fault because I had Arthur dismount too close to alligators. Midas ran off somewhere he couldn't quite figure his way back from. I thought he would catch up to Arthur because he was in whistling range but he refused to come. Arthur cursed and accused him of never coming when he, Arthur needed him. Oh my. Arthur backtracked and Midas did eventually meet him in the middle somewhere so I think he was actually trying and failing. This happened again a little later. Lesson learned. Leave horse in safe space before tromping around through alligators.

Thanks to their high health numbers the Turkoman rank just under the top Arabians.

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.

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.

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.

This is another impulse taming and the second male. We seemed to have frequent close contact with wildlife so I named him Irwin because I like that better than Steve. He did get agitated but calmed fairly quickly. Just a big, solid horse.

Ferdinand is having a little spaz in the swamp here which he was wont to do. My last Perlino was a female so I was pretty excited to tame this horse. I called her Bella which is close enough to Isabella I guess so I named him Ferdinand. I really liked the Andalusians in my first playthrough but the two I've had so far have been a little nuts. To be fair to Ferdinand, I exposed him to a lot more danger than Bella faced.
