Best horse in Red Dead Redemption 2: how to find it

Many players want the best horse in Red Dead Redemption 2. When choosing the personal steed, some aspects should be considered, such as the strengths of the different horse classes. For example, some are more agile while others are more robust. In each horse class there are other horse breeds available that suit your preferences.

Red Dead Redemption 2: best horse by class

In Red Dead Redemption 2, the best horse clearly depends on your personal style of play. It is not for nothing that Rockstar Games provides 19 horse breeds in the Wild West that emphasize their own preferences when riding.

• Riding horses : The classic standard horses of the game. Riding horses are fairly average in terms of their stats, but easy to tame and reliable. Riding horses are particularly suitable for short trips through safe areas without incidents.
• Draft horses : Draft horses are the strongest and most obedient horses in Red Dead Redemption 2. Since they are specially bred as draft animals, they are not quick or agile. Their high health, size and muscularity make them ideal for difficult terrain or as a luggage animal.
• Workhorses : Workhorses are similar to draft horses in terms of poor acceleration. They are not as strong as their bigger relatives, but faster and more agile. They are used to drive cattle and can also be used to persecute NPCs because they are very persistent.
• Arguing horses : You should choose a horse if you are often involved in shootings or other clashes. Although they are quite slow, they are robust, very healthy and have good maneuverability. So you can quickly turn to your opponent without being thrown by the horse.
• Race horses : Race horses are the epitome of speed on short distances. They can only maneuver quickly and quickly at full speed, but can accelerate all the better. They are usually more frightened and not as healthy as other horses.
• Versatile horses : These breeds combine aspects of different classes. The Missouri Foxtrot, for example, is a race and work horse, while the classic Mustang can be used as a work or war horse.
• A little tip on the side: You can improve the values ​​of each horse. In this way, for example, the health of a racehorse can be optimized and it is more suitable for combat. So you do not have to bet exclusively on one horse class.

Use the best horses in Red Dead Redemption 2

If you want to use the very best horse in Red Dead Redemption 2, you should only bet on Arabs. This horse breed is the only one in the "Superior" class and achieves maximum values ​​in all aspects. Since Arabs are generally very late in the game or cost a lot, they are not always interesting for gamers.

• White Arab : You can tame the only (!) White Arab in the game early on in the game. Once you've unlocked the stable, travel to Lake Isabella in the northwest of the map. There you can find and tame the beautiful steed on the western bank.
• Turkmen : Turkmen are one of the best all-purpose horses in the game. These are available from Chapter 2 in the Saint Denis stable for $ 950, which requires a little patience. The balanced nature, high health, endurance and speed inspire.
• Mustang : If the Turkmen is still too expensive for you or an Arab doesn't quite suit you, you should go for the Mustang. They are excellent in numerous situations and bind themselves with their rider for a lifetime. The perfect all-rounder can be found in the heart of the Heartlands and can be tamed there.
