How do i make the horse i just lassoed my "default" horse? What kind of hat does the main character wear? How do you name your horse? There's also the quality of the horse's handling to bear in mind too, which ranges in responsiveness, from low to high, between Heavy, Standard, Race, or Elite. The horses that we've found to have the highest stats across the board then - coupled with the best handling - are the two Arabian breed horses that are only available from specific stables, in Saint Denis or one of the Epilogue locations, after reaching Chapter 4 or Epilogue 1 respectively.

There are also certain Missouri Fox Trotter or Turkoman breeds that are pretty great alternatives too, but again they're not available until at least Chapter 4, and all of these will cost you a pretty penny to buy when you finally unlock them. So, with none of these horses available in the wild or for free, and none of them are available until Chapter 4 onwards, what's the best horse you can catch yourself, from any point in the game after the world opens up in Chapter 2?

The best free horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the Arabian horse with a white coloured coat. It's ever so slightly lower in health and stamina than the two Arabians mentioned above, but it's still a superb option, and is available at just one location in the game: in the wild, up in the north-western part of the map. Gamer Network's Arekkz discribes just how exactly you can get it in the video above, but for posterity here's what you need to do:. There are several ways you can get new horses in Red Dead Redemption 2: buying them, stealing them, or catching and breaking a wild one.

Buying and stealing are fairly self-explanatory. You can buy horses at stables introduced to you as part of the Exit Pursued By a Bruised Ego mission early in Chapter 2 which are in all of the game's major towns and easily found on your map.

You can steal horses that aren't tied up, as long as they don't already belong to one of Dutch's gang members, or 'find' them from previous owners - usually from a random encounter with a stranger.

First you need to approach it calmly. Walk at the slowest pace possible towards the horse, and hold L2 as you go, which focuses you on it. Whilst doing this, you need to calm it to stop it spooking and running away. To do so, keep one eye on the white bar in the bottom right of the screen.

This will sit at full, and then suddenly start to drop periodically. This then starts another minigame of sorts, where you need to 'break' it.

Then, you need to quickly push it in the opposite direction to whatever direction the horse is trying to go. So if the horse turns left, you need to turn right.

If it tries to go forwards you need to pull the stick back, and so on. After a short while, you'll get a notification in the top left saying you've broken the horse, making it your own.

To make it your main horse however, you then need to saddle it. Simply hold a saddle in your hand from your inventory and then approach the chosen horse, and hold Up on the D-pad to put it on. The Tennessee Walker horse you get at the start of the game is good-natured and easy to ride, but it is not a very good horse. It has a slow gait and is very frail.

Indeed, the best horse you can buy in the early part of the game, a Dutch Warmblood workhorse, has a lot of health and stamina, but is still pretty slow. Those categories are riding, draft, work, race and war. They also have handling styles, to give you an idea of how they ride. Those styles are standard, race and heavy. The best horse in the game is the rose gray bay Arabian horse, which is rated 7 in health and stamina, and 6 in speed and acceleration.

Health and stamina can be increased by three points through horse bonding, and speed and acceleration can be increased by two points with stirrups, so this horse will reach 10 health and stamina and 8 in speed and acceleration once you have kitted it out and fully bonded with it.

Focus on the white Arabian horse if you want the best upgrade possible as quickly as possible. You can tame the white Arabian horse as early as Chapter 2, and it has the same 6 in speed and acceleration as the other Arabian horses, but only a 6 in health and stamina.

The white Arabian also blows away the Ardennes War Horse you might have gotten for pre-ordering the game, and the Dappled Black Thoroughbred you got if you bought the Special Edition or the Ultimate Edition.

Once I was fully bonded with the white Arabian horse, I was able to complete the sixth horseman challenge, which requires you to ride from Strawberry to Saint Denis in nine minutes without touching water. My plan is to ride the white Arabian until I can get the rose gray bay Arabian late in the game.
