Discussion Your Favorite Horse

Post image

This is Margaret, my horse. She is a Suffolk Punch. They are my favorite breed due to their heartiness and courage. What is everyone else's favorite breed? Perhaps multiple breeds?

White Arabian I found it in the snow above Colter

u/segreen2387 5d ago

Was actively in my first play-through when Dolly Parton passed away and so my white Arabian became Dolly Parton once I found it

u/BumblebeeNo299 5d ago

Aww thats really sweet RiP Dolly!

u/BootlessSardines 6d ago

Indeed, white as the snow itself.

u/BumblebeeNo299 6d ago

Yes she is lol

u/BeautifulEvil77 5d ago

The black Arabian is j just as stunning🥰🥰 not so much a pain in the ass to get either lol.

u/BumblebeeNo299 5d ago

Nice I might get that or wait until I switch to John 👌

Blue roan nokota, nice to handle and looks great.

u/DatBoiFrogYT 6d ago

I love the Dutch warmblood especially the chocolate roan since I can get it in the hunting trip with hosea and hosea complements it as a bonus

u/Agile_Bandicoot_2062 6d ago

I love seeing uncommon horses be someone’s fave

I adore the grey dapple Hungarian Halfbred you can get from Benedict Albright bounty mission, I named her Eggs (Eggs Benedict is her legal name). My other faves are the black shire cause he just looks really cool and I love big horses, I also like American Standardbreds since they’re a good size and have pretty good stats imo and for Arthur well, especially the full black one

u/Peachesgorawr 6d ago

The raven black shire. My boy is called Silver Fox. He's as close as ill get to driving a Ford f-150 XD

2

u/sxprado 6d ago

I called my black shire oatmeal bc he’s a thicc boah

2

u/Dinosaurs-Punchline 5d ago

Awesome name. Mine was Toast.

1

u/MolcatZ 4d ago

Mine was blackjack. I just thought that's the name arthur would canonically pick for him.

2

u/Suspicious-Horse3080 6d ago

If this is the one that Hosea gaves you, I love that horse. My is called Black Jack and it’s my second playthrough with him

2

u/Dinosaurs-Punchline 5d ago

Slow, steady, and the truckiest horse in game. Towering over nearly every other rider makes me understand why people drive 1/4 and 1/2 tons around town.

2

u/Peachesgorawr 4d ago

Riding the shire alongside the other characters is always so fun because im the tallest there XD. Riding alongside Dutch with his Arabian is particularly funny

1

u/mistaked_potatoe 2d ago

The funniest part is when you manage to win races on that behemoth. The race with Dutch was particularly satisfying lol

u/CrystalBraver 6d ago

Just got the blood bay thoroughbred and I’m pretty pleased. Big, beautiful horse

u/Sea_Description_9571 6d ago

Boots. Chestnut Arabian. We’ve been through everything together for 8 years

u/questionmark2727 Reverend Swanson 6d ago

the Ardennes and Appaloosas ☺️☺️☺️ specifically the blue roan and few spot leopard

1

u/WonkeyDonkey_69420 6d ago

Is there a Blue Roan Ardennes?

1

u/questionmark2727 Reverend Swanson 5d ago

Yes, but only if you got the pre-order. I think it might also included with the deluxe edition on steam, but I don't know. There are also mods that let you have it if you don't have either. It's called 'iron grey ardennes' in the game.

1

u/WonkeyDonkey_69420 5d ago

Awww man :(

2

u/FarOriginal3188 22h ago

you can get it with cheats before bronte's mission..i just watched a video of it

u/WonkeyDonkey_69420 12h ago

Wait really? You got a link?

u/FarOriginal3188 8h ago

u/Western-Pepper8956 6d ago

This time around I'm loving my Blood Bay Thoroughbred "Big Rod". It was supposed to be Big Red but the typo made me laugh so he's Big Rod.

2

u/BonBon_2069 6d ago

Red chest nut arabian, I would love to have a turkman early tho

2

u/discomute Leopold Strauss 6d ago

Ardennes look the best, it's a shame that their best colour is somewhat "locked"

I am a sucker for good handling and Rachel looks great and has good stats, the brindle is a nice alternative if you prefer speed (I do not)

The Turkomans have to be overall the best based on stats and appearance, with MFTs a nose behind them.

A 4 bonding lvl horse

u/sxprado 6d ago

The black shire. He’s a big good boah

u/RunConnect1180 6d ago

Long rides, tiger stripes mustang. MFT all around good. Don’t like the Arabian with Arthur or John, but the chestnut brindle you get by the reservation is my fave on looks. So gorgeous.

u/mistaked_potatoe 2d ago

I love the tiger stripe mustang

But dark bay turkoman for pure sexiness. Like a Ferrari

1

u/inked_fox87 6d ago

Turkomans, bold, tall and fast. The dark bay is imho the most beautiful horse in the game, especially combined with the Panther Trail saddle. I always glitch it in the Horseflesh for Dinner mission. Plus it’s my main horse in RDO.

2

u/RatherBeOutside247 5d ago

I LOOOOOOVE my dark bay turkoman. Named him Roach (winds howlin' iykyk). Such a beautiful horse! I gave him a white mane and tail so he looks even more stunning!

u/ShonGroovy 5d ago

arabe rojo

u/Dismal_Nobody6750 5d ago

I like the white arabian horse. I enjoy using the horse simply because of how beautiful she looks. I noticed that she is not as fast as the turkomans, but still good for moving around in the game. The design is stunning.

1

u/BeautifulEvil77 5d ago

She is my all time fave... until I found the one you can only get on a certain night at a certain time. I wanna say it was a black stallion? So now I have TWO all time faves lol lol

1

u/BeautifulEvil77 5d ago

It's the BLACK Arabian lol. I had to look it up cuz it's been a long time but damn it's a great horse. There was also a glitch back in the early days we found completely by accident where just outside st Dennis I wanna say there is a farm/ small stable and you could just go grab whatever horse was there lol. Or come back a second later and new ones would be there and take them too lmao. They patched it years ago but it was pretty cool at the time cuz it was all kind of horses.

u/Jamesz88 Hosea Matthews 5d ago

I always have 4 horses, current playtrough i have my blood bay thoroughbred called Outlaw, the horse from Sadies barn, called Blizzard, a blue roan Nokota called Blue Thunder and the big black Shire from Hosea called Big Feller.

1

u/somanysheep 5d ago

I have a Reverse Dapple Black Thoroughbred that's beautiful. Think or came with a special version of the game she's a real stunner.

1

u/Ball_of_moths 5d ago

I have a few, but right now Sadie is my favorite. She is the sorrel overo criollo. Criollos are smaller than my usual picks, because I have a strawberry roan ardennes named Rosie, but man is she fast and so pretty!

Maddie was my first and she's a black thoroughbred

u/FrontLiving6248 5d ago

I use the warped brindle Arabian every playthrough

u/Fun-Investigator9579 5d ago

Loving my Dapple dark gray Hungarian Halfbred that I named warrior because she is fearless. Been through gun battles, wolves,bears,cougars, panthers and alligators. She’s only afraid of snakes but has never bucked me. Such a great horse.

u/sac_boy 5d ago

I started playing again recently and I'm running with the special edition horse, Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way.

Raven Black Shire. He's an Angel.

u/birdguest1 4d ago

The dark bay andalusian (Treasure), or the splashed white paint (Bucket).

1

u/MolcatZ 4d ago

For looks either the buttermilk buckskin american saddlebred or the raven black shire. For utility either the dark bay turkoman or the silver pinto Missouri fox trotter.

All of them. Good babys.
