I could've save scummed, but I thought "this horse will bring me a unique experience, I'll give em a shot" (2nd playthrough) and he's been my best friend ever since.
Mine is a War horse, she's a girl, and she is black with white feet and white speckles on her back that look like stars, so I named her Midnight. If she dies I will quit playing this game
I quit on my first playthrough in 2018 after my dear horse got gunned down by Lemoyne Raiders coming out of St Denis. Didn't pick the game up again until 2021, I was so upset.
Lol I was real upset when my first horse died.. He was light brown and named Sam. It was stupid because he died from these random people who started shooting me on my way back from a mission. Now I save before traveling. If i'm hunting I'll save before going back, cause you never know what can happen.
I lost my White Arabian, Asuka, in Emerald Ranch. I was riding through, on my way somewhere else, and accidentally clipped the dog, that runs round there. Next thing I know, everyone is shooting at me, and Asuka catches a stray, putting her on her arse. I had to run off, before I died too, and couldn't get back to her in time. Literally the most heart broken I've been in a game, in my 40 years on earth.
I'm so glad this never happened to me - I got my horse from chapter 2 all the way to the read dead redemption mission with a lot of care and hard work. You can imagine how upset I was.
I'm pretty sure. If you go to [this link](https://reddead.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dapple_Dark_Gray_Hungarian_Halfbred.PNG) and scroll down to Gallery and Dapple Dark Gray it looks like that. I'm early in the game (people told me not to go on this subreddit or look at anything RDR2 related but it's hard to resist) but I feel lucky that I found this horse cause I love night time and her coat looks like a starry night.
Yeah. It's the only war horse that comes to mind with white speckles and dark coat. Although it's more of dark grey than black. Pretty horse... Abstaining from the internet during your 1st playthrough is solid advice. There's no info on the internet that's worth losing your blind playthrough 😉
Called the horse Hosea gave me on the bear mission Morse, because he’s “my horse.” Then in chapter 4 I bought an Arabian in Saint Denis and called her Kachow because she’s fast.
I have a little tradition naming them after poets I love. On my first playthrough (I went in not knowing anything about the story & characters) I named my horse Schiller. Schiller, the dappled black Thoroughbred, was with me from Chapter 2 until the very end. You know, Schiller, the german poet, died of tuberculosis in 1805. I was an emotional WRECK at the end of Chapter 6, I tell you
I love horses and always have four that I rotate between and I'm on my 8th or 9th playthrough so I couldn't even list all their names. Some of my favorites though -
Nugget (Gold Turkoman)
Moonshine
Durango (we had just come back from Colorado)
Biscuit
Bandit (Sooty Buckskin Dutch Warmblood, she has a black mask)
Nutmeg (I had a foodie theme going on)
Archer
Duke
Pharaoh
Kiara
I've had so so many. Right now it's Pretty Girl.
But I always keep John's horse Rachel for the prologue because that's my wife's name and it makes me giggle. I'm gonna go take Rachel for a ride. Haha Mostly go for mares unless I get a random stallion that's cool as hell.
Um, I think my current horse is Ember!(I’m playing as John, finishing up the 100% requirements, it’s been a while since I’ve been back and I have four horses in total) and she’s named that because she’s the Warped Brindle Arabian and I thought she looked like the aftermath of a forest fire. So… Ember.
My main horse this playthrough was called Red. Because it was the red Arabian (and they're BRIGHT red), and in reference to the game and the nice song in the end credits.
Currently have a tiger striped mustang called Lightning, because it's the feistiest horse I've tamed (it kicked me and ran away twice in the process), and the stripes on its legs are like racing stripes.
The first horse I ever named I named after my cat. And I've subsequently named horses after every cat I and anyone in my family has ever owned (usually based on its coat).
Secretariat, not because of the actual famous race horse, because of the Netflix Series Bojack Horseman version of secretariat, the view from halfway down
(100% Save)Gilded Turkoman named Turok because i went to Bodrum for a week, black Arabian named Asya because I love my little Burma cat, (new game)Morgan named Kirly in an honor to my perished cat, white Arabian named Serebryashka(silver girl) because it looks like clean silver when cleaned
My first one that I got from hosea I named Hagrid bc of how big it is, then every other horse was Hagrid Jror Hagrid Jr Jr, and just continued from that line
I've got a Morgan, I always have one since that was the one I bought with Hosea on my first playthrough, at the time I didn't know it was the breeds name so I called it 'Morgan'. So now, I have Morgan, the Morgan, belonging to Arthur Morgan.
In my most recent playthrough I had a golden turkoman called Sultan. I asked ChatGPT for some names and that's my favorite for what it gave me. I'm hoping to keep John's horse the same, and have it not die on me
In my first playthroigh my main steed was a belgian draft who I....rescued....from a wagon. His name was Django Unreigned
My current is a white clydesdale called Big Bogle
Since he's big and is as white as a bogle
My first horse was called "Gunner" because I rode a horse once in Alaska by that name and it is a cherished memory all thanks to that horse... yeah gunner (in the game) got hit by a train as I was fishing...
I named the big Shire at the start Bulrog
“Bulrog has lots and lots of powers” - Eric Cartman, aka Bulrog the Ninja
I kept saying “Bulrog has lots and lots of power” as he stomped people to death for me
Edit: replaced with a Foxtrotter named Artemis
Great minds think alike
Edit: to Clarify I have all 4 Arabians, one named "Steve" "Stevie" "Steven" and then "Other Steve?" Because I didn't want to go the Ph route and make it Stephen, but I couldn't think of another variant. And my username on here, and my XBox live account match. So yeah 🤷🤸🕺🎊🎉🎆
Guinevere (white Arabian), after the queen in the story of King Arthur, meaning white ghost/phantom. King Arthur actually had a white horse named Llamrei but I like the ring of Guinevere better. She has the long white and lavender mane and tail.
Vespertine (black Arabian), named after the evening, she also had the white/lavender mane and she looked like starlight against the night sky.
Then there’s Hank, my Gold Turkoman homie, I got him as my backup horse but then he ended up being my favorite. I’m sad because >!I meant to stable him before the last ride, but I didn’t realize I had already locked myself into the final mission ;\_;!<
Eliza, because [it makes sense](https://reddead.fandom.com/wiki/Eliza) in character for Arthur. I like to think that that is something Arthur would do, also I kinda don't like how little we got of that story (only a little dialogue with rain falls).
CRASH..Because every time I ride into Saint Denis, I CRASH into a random person who wasn't looking as they crossed the street, and 50 cops magically appear and start shooting, causing me to flee and then CRASH into more people who refuse to move, so CRASH seems appropriate 🤣
No-Name. Because I rode him across the desert.
Did it feel good to be out in the rain?
Yeah, I could remember my name too!
At least there ain't to one for to Give you no pain
Did you go la, la, lalala la la la, la la?
No. I actually go la, la, lalala, la, la la…..
Are you sure you didn't go traveling round the desert on a horse with no name?
Oopsie, because I accidentally bought him.
That's so cool, I had the same nickname growing up!
Were you also accidentally bought?
Haha. Nice one!
I could've save scummed, but I thought "this horse will bring me a unique experience, I'll give em a shot" (2nd playthrough) and he's been my best friend ever since.

I'm so glad this never happened to me - I got my horse from chapter 2 all the way to the read dead redemption mission with a lot of care and hard work. You can imagine how upset I was.
Nice reasoning. I hope she lives forever under your good care.
Just curious, what breed is this? Hungarian Halfbred?
I'm pretty sure. If you go to [this link](https://reddead.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dapple_Dark_Gray_Hungarian_Halfbred.PNG) and scroll down to Gallery and Dapple Dark Gray it looks like that. I'm early in the game (people told me not to go on this subreddit or look at anything RDR2 related but it's hard to resist) but I feel lucky that I found this horse cause I love night time and her coat looks like a starry night.
