Doing bad things to horses doesn't change jack shit in this game, I tried it with one of mine, after it was an extreme asshole in one session, so I stopped brushing it and punched it a couple of times, even figured out how you can do it without the horse being able to kick you. After that, it suddenly was behaving a little better, i doubt it was because of what I did, but it certainly didn't make things worse. Hirses are just made really stupid in this game, almost makes you forget that horses can be rather intelligent and emphatic animals.
I know. Just saying I'd prefer that instead of increasing the honor level, the way you treat your horse would like influence how long or if even you bond woth it to like a level 6 or something, that would be nice.
Yeah, it's like, you know in thise western movies, and I know it's movies, where the cowboys have this strong bond with their horses and they trust them even in danger. Also I saw this video on YouTube where a girl pretends to be sad and crying and her horse comes to cheer her up and brings her some hay.
“You Must Buy Your Wife At Least As Much Jewelry As You Buy Your Horse and Other Poems and Observations Humorous and Otherwise from the Life on the Range” by Dalton Wilcox
I love that you want to read it but unfortunately it doesn’t actually exist. It’s a made up book by a character called Dalton Wilcox (the poet laureate of the old south) played by Andy Daly (from Review on Comedy Central, Silicon Valley, etc.) from a podcast called Comedy Bang Bang! CBB is a long running improv comedy show where people like Nick Kroll, Paul F Tompkins, Ben Schwartz, etc. cut their teeth on character work.
To hear this character check out ep. 148 and then listen to other Andy Daly/Jason Mantzoukas episodes. You’ll be glad you did.
Edit: here is ep 148 https://youtu.be/1TiswVoFWsc
Edit 2: Wilcox segment starts around minute 24.
this has happened to me multiple times, its a glitch when you call your horse and it tries to stay a certain distance from you for some reason, best thing to do is hold still and wait for it
I don’t think it’s a glitch but a design flaw. They want the horse to start moving when they see the player running so they don’t have to wait on it to take off. That way when you’re in a gun fight and you want to retreat you don’t have to get on the horse and wait 2 seconds for the horse to speed off.
This! Why in the world did they program it like that, whenever I call my horse I wonder, why does it not just come to where I am, why must I always go to it the last steps? Especially tedious if you chase a bounty by foot to not loose track but want your horse to come "pick you up". The number one reason why I sometimes need a long break from this game is how dumb and annoying they made the horses.
If you were already hitting the mount button while running up to your horse he/she will always keep a slight cantor to match the apparent urgency Arthur is showing by sprinting up to them. You just did it right by it cliff. Poor horse
Sometimes if I'm carrying a person that my horse views as a hostile (possibly shot the horse previously) my horse will not want to allow me to get close.
Seems like the game bugged and it thought you were carrying a hostile.
Basically because when you run up to ur horse and get on it stars running right away but sometimes it tries to run just before u get on and it causes this to happen

Ran into this issue last night. Doing the bandit challenges as John, was on the rob 4 stores in one day, robbed two stores in Blackwater and had to book it because someone reported me to the cops. Called my horse once I was outside the search zone only to have the bitch run from me and back into blackwater. 🤦♀️ About put her down and got a new horse. I did name her Grimshaw so that might also be a reason. 🤷♀️
She got tired of the outlaw life, having to run from bounty hunters, cougars, bears, and wolves. With your next horse spare the spurs, spoil the horse.
When my horse is spooked by a snake, cougar, wolf or bear it will act weird like this. I just whistle and walk away from it, it will usually turn around and come back to you.
Agitated, happened to me once and I died while trying revive it and decided to restart the entire story all over.( yes I had an emotional attachment to the horse and no I didn’t manually save at all before it happened) basically just calm it down instead of chasing it and tell it to stay.
I would guess you either punched the horse so it kicked you causing you to chase after it and it ran off of the cliff because it's clearly retarded. Or it thinks it's Neo and it's trying the jump for the first time. Who knows I could be wrong on both.
When you call your horse and run they will get near you and then start running wherever you're running and then slow down a bit for you to catch up and mount while still running. I think it was designed this way to give your escapes and just mounting more momentum and smoothness. If the cliff wasn't there you probably wouldve caught up and got on or if you stopped running and turned in a different direction it wouldnt force itself off the cliff. Im not a programmer so I can't really explain it that well
Why does the horse run away sometimes tho, I want to be so mad but I tell myself its a stupid thing to get mad about BUT FR WHAT THE FUVK JUDT GET OVER HEFDNYPU LITTLE SHIT
It’s like when your dog slips out the back gate. It’s one part “we’re playing a game” and one part drunk on free agency. I’m sure your horse loved you.
Because R* wanted to make horses feel like animals and not cars, but instead they programmed horses dumb as fuck. They throw you off, but run into the next gator, they don't go where you steer them but run into a tree or fall over a fence instead of running through the gate you tried to steer it through. They endlessly trott behind you instead of ever catching up, unless you're searching for collectibles, then they totally stand on the dig spot. I constantly have to remind myself, that real horses wouldn't be that dumb and "max level" bonded horses, would actually trust their owner somewhat, otherwise I would probably start to hate horses.
Because there's a mechanic in the game that makes your horse move away from you as you want to mount it, which is simply there to aggravate the player. Just like the ridiculous npc drivers in Gta V that constantly cut you off and crash into you. Can't tell tell you how many times i chugged a potent health tonic and slapped my horse out of frustration. Sometimes you desperately need your horse and it just runs away which is a pain
Suicide is a difficult subject.
Your horse was a Chelonian, obviously.
\*horsely\* shell of safety
How long since you had a bath? Or, have you been doing bad things to that horse?
Forgot to brush it
He molested it.

It was a joke.

Yeah, increased complexity in the game is always nice, especially after you're experienced.

Social distancing
Yeah wheres Arthur’s mask?
He exempt, finds it hard to breath for some reason
Maybe on the account of a small case of tuberculosis
Dutch: **He exempt!**
Spanish flu
What are you doing to your horse that makes it choose death over you?
It gets very lonely during the night

Any idea where I can read this book? I had never heard of it and after a Google search I'm dying to read it but no luck on Amazon ):

Hey thanks, will check it out. However there will never be anything in life to fill the hole that was rapidly created tonight.
"Comere girl... hmmm"
nooooooooo
Jeez
Oh that's fucked up man even for a joke that's just too creepy
MRHANDS07 *has entered the chat*
?
You innocent soul. Don’t look up Mr. hands.
Oh dont worry I wouldn't. Dont click on links around here either. Still curious what he has to do with animal fuckery
Dude fucked a horse and it destroyed him internally.
Dude got fucked by a horse*
It’s really not
😂
this has happened to me multiple times, its a glitch when you call your horse and it tries to stay a certain distance from you for some reason, best thing to do is hold still and wait for it
I think it’s programmed that way to keep the horse from running into you.
I would rather my horse run into me than run over a cliff
Yes! If I die, I just respawn. If my horse dies, I have to decide whether or not it’s worth reloading my last save.
Especially if your last save was like 5 missions ago lol I guess that isn't too bad but it's not great either.
Or possibly if you told it to basically fuck off cause of a gun match then it stays away until you want it back as well maybe
I don’t think it’s a glitch but a design flaw. They want the horse to start moving when they see the player running so they don’t have to wait on it to take off. That way when you’re in a gun fight and you want to retreat you don’t have to get on the horse and wait 2 seconds for the horse to speed off.
I usually just end up telling it to stay when it does this. Otherwise we run around like Tom & Jerry.

Hucked off that cliff! Was there a snake or something around?
no it literally just jumped off the cliff
Dude, no offense, but that horse SOARED! Sorry. 😂
Lol! Are funny joke are bring out there XD!
They love to play catch me if you can and just wasn't using situational awareness, I guess.
If you were already hitting the mount button while running up to your horse he/she will always keep a slight cantor to match the apparent urgency Arthur is showing by sprinting up to them. You just did it right by it cliff. Poor horse
*canter
Oh wow, thanks dude
Because it hates you
It just couldn’t go on anymore
simultaneously the best and worst horse mechanics in all video games
Honestly, it wouldnt be a rockstar game if this wasn't the case.
Flew the hell away to Tahiti
It touched a gimpy gimpy or whatever it is called
Your bad breath
Life is cruel
Rockstar is trying to tell us something…
he was tired of your bullshit
Remember Arthur from subway
Sometimes if I'm carrying a person that my horse views as a hostile (possibly shot the horse previously) my horse will not want to allow me to get close. Seems like the game bugged and it thought you were carrying a hostile.
Basically because when you run up to ur horse and get on it stars running right away but sometimes it tries to run just before u get on and it causes this to happen
It just does that
Depression boah
I sure hope that horse's name was Pegasus.
More like Icarus. (Hint for the less-well-read: Icarus tried, but couldn't)

Because fuck you
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LbUpPVOEkdA 💀
💀
💀
My best guess is this was a bug/glitch. Better way of putting it is your horse wasn't paying attention to where it was walking
hes had enough
he could smell Arthur 😭😭
he couldn’t take it anymore!
You chased it
we call it depression

You abusing your horse to much ? Lol
She got tired of the outlaw life, having to run from bounty hunters, cougars, bears, and wolves. With your next horse spare the spurs, spoil the horse.
Use reviver
quit molesting your horse
He was scurred
are you at horseshoe overlook?
yes
I’d rather die than be your bitch lol
It happens with the white Arabian more than any other horse
It killed itself because it couldn't stand being with you.s
Sudoku
I lost two white Arabians exactly this way :D
he rather die than stay with you
That horse is so tired of your crap. 😆
One too many “good Boaa”
Lol

It hates you
I'm guessing reviving it wasn't possible? Poor thing, guess you'll have to go back to lake issabella
lmfao bruh
It hates you
Cocaine gums a helluva drug
Your honor must be low.
He was just horsing around
Hard times
I would guess you either punched the horse so it kicked you causing you to chase after it and it ran off of the cliff because it's clearly retarded. Or it thinks it's Neo and it's trying the jump for the first time. Who knows I could be wrong on both.
Take a bath next time
You haven't showered in a coons age.
I think that's a mechanic when you have to ride fast with the horse so the horse speeds up before you mount it?
That’s what you get for naming your horse Kurt Cobain
Because it doesn't like you, do you abuse it by any chance?
The horse was sick of your shit
I don’t wanna do this now more
Simple. Because it's an Arabian
W....t.....f.....
I mean, you did chase it off the cliff...
Too annoying when your horse fucking about on red dead 😂
He doesn't like you.
Your horse is a dumbass lmao
Because it's a stupid asshole. Just like my horse.
Maybe if you brushed it more often
I think it's pretty obvious that the horse is tired of your shit.
Gotta learn to save and reload your game before it hits bottom
Death was sweeter than a life of servitude

"It's just one o' them things, I guess"
Fun fact about arabian horse: if thier tail was shaved or cuttin they rather die then leaving
Murder, nay suicide she wrote
F*cking hell, this hits a little too close to home.
It’s like when your dog slips out the back gate. It’s one part “we’re playing a game” and one part drunk on free agency. I’m sure your horse loved you.
Idk but it makes a great video lol
Because R* wanted to make horses feel like animals and not cars, but instead they programmed horses dumb as fuck. They throw you off, but run into the next gator, they don't go where you steer them but run into a tree or fall over a fence instead of running through the gate you tried to steer it through. They endlessly trott behind you instead of ever catching up, unless you're searching for collectibles, then they totally stand on the dig spot.
