6 Big Horses that are Perfect for Arthur | Red Dead Redemption 2

[@syrf6327]

theres nothing more majestic for arthur than the shire

[@n03xxx555]

My thoughts exactly, a white one at that

[@nicventura5620]

I kept the black one Hosea gave it to Arthur

[@Enjoyingcash]

I just feel like Arthur wouldn’t ride a shire and a draft as those horses aren’t meant to be ridden the way he does … those are wagon pushing horses . War horses and race horses seem more Arthur’s style

[@tonowari]

@@Enjoyingcash exactly plus they kind of suck to go all around the map with

[@josephstalin2606]

@@tonowariWhen you use the cinematic camera to travel from point A to point B the speed of the horse hardly matters, the game literally plays for you during those moments. I usually use the raven black Shire that Hosea gave Arthur and I never lost a race or struggled losing pursuers on horseback, so the speed of the horses is really more trivial than vital to the game, its bravery is honestly more important and the fastest horses are usually the most skittish

[@paigecosgrove654]

Also the Raven Shire would probably be Arthur Main Horse if they ever decided to make a Movie.

[@lyncxold]

I always figured it’d be the first horse you get, the mahogany bay one

[@Enjoyingcash]

Arthur rides on a daily basis … he wouldn’t not use a work horse / wagon pushing horse. His original horse that was cut from the game which was a Hungarian halfbreed. Originally you were supposed to steal his horse back so yes it’s safe to say that would be his cannon horse and even in a movie.

[@paigecosgrove654]

@@Enjoyingcash Well I mainly just guess that since Hosea gives Arthur the Shire. An to me it just seems more meaningful. The Shire actually has nice stats and Arthur does look awesome riding it. I just wish there was a reaction when we keep it. I already did an entire play through it. An it hurt even more when it died at the end

[@renatorocha1710]

On my view canonically: I think the tennesse walker (from chapter 1) would be Arthur’s main horse until chapter 6 and them he would meet Hamish and get Buell, and in the final mission they would both die tragically. In my opnion it fits because red dead 2 is a tragedy if we consider that Jack is the only reminescent gang member left

[@Enjoyingcash]

@@paigecosgrove654 not really Hosea only gives us the horses cuz he’s been trying to get rid of it which proves my point it’s a shire horse … doesn’t benefit a horseman much even the guy at the stable says he wants to buy it from you cuz he has a friend that needs a decent work horse.

[@LiamG170]

Ever since my first playthrough of the game I’ve used the black shire horse from the Hosea mission and called it Dutch. After the Hamish missions and get his horse Buell I like to use him for the rest of the time or at least switch between Dutch and Buell every now and then

[@saint5ify]

Same, only the Shires name is Bullet. Has been every play through since the game released!

[@aleksanderbuksa1213]

Don't get Buell as Arthur get him with John

[@LiamG170]

@@aleksanderbuksa1213 I watched a video a little while ago and came to that conclusion! I’m not gonna get Buell as Arthur anymore! The cutscene is nice and it gives hamish a longer life

[@nathi060200]

in my first playthrough, I also used the raven black shire. I named him Hosea as a joke, since it was him who gifted it to me and I had no ideas. It got me so depressed after a certain point of the game...

[@BJWFenix]

I like the subtle theming for the black shire Hosea describes him as ill tempered and unruly but you can tame him and shires are in real l life among if not the most easygoing horses. hes basically Arthur as a Horse

[@tyrannotherium7873]

Personally The Raven Black Shire and the Ardens Iron Gray fit Arthur

[@josephstalin2606]

Exactly I only ever use those 2 horses everytime I played through the game

[@ابويحيى-خ2ش]

Anyone who wants the last line in speed must study all the horses in the game.

[@kirstybailey3231]

Me

[@joshualandry3160]

Or you could just win the second race and use a trapper saddle.

[@Frredster]

I always like to use the dapple dark gray Hungarian Halfbred as my Arthur's main horse. She's so pretty and brave.

[@williamludwick77]

I use the Ardennes or Shire as my main horses for Arthur. But for racing or challenges, either the American Standardbred or Turkoman (you can get free in Chapter 3 mission). Didn't realize that the Suffolk was one Arthur would have used but given their bigger size, would make sense. I'll have to check it out.

[@Lessferr]

Bros in love with the name Kage 💀

[@MonsterMasher137]

I ALWAYS pick up a draft horse as soon as I’m able to explore the world more freely. I love how powerful they are

[@Rafael_Diaz0411]

The raven black shire, first time i saw it loved it The red Chestnut looks good too

[@mrtlgreen2]

The Piebald Tobiano Hungarian Halfbred is huge and beautiful

[@Catch4Bass]

Hard to get too.

[@lucindac2205]

My first playthrough as john I got the mealty chestnest Belgian draft and named it arthur due to how brave it was

[@Brother_Frank]

It's a great horse.

[@lucindac2205]

@Brother_Frank yeah I just got to john in that playthrough so I named that horse arthur since it was brave

[@MattiK2609]

Why not get a Morgan and name it Arthur? 😜

[@kadubr438]

The forgotten Andalusian Perlino is greatly underrated

[@jiskerrealz3620]

I just happened to find this horse and it's my favorite. Looks sturdy but not fat, excellent cores, OK speed, and doesn't scare too easily. Overall great horse! :D

[@Enjoyingcash]

@@jiskerrealz3620 nah bro it doesn’t scare at all that is the bravest horse in the entire game

[@jiskerrealz3620]

@@Enjoyingcash yeah it's great, I just got full bonding and haven't been thrown off yet, you might be right!

[@godotkozlegeny]

yeah, it has good stats, but it looks like a nigthmare for me. There was a couple, otherwise great horse in the game, that i just couldnt ride, they hurted my eyes too much. (And IRL andalusians are the most beautiful creatures. extra shame on the perlino monster)

[@FatherOutlaw]

I just got this horse today lol

[@ghost-hn2lh]

got the game recently and fell in love with the black shire before i even knew i could have him. i saw him around camp and thought "i wish i could have that horse". was very happy when i found out i could. named him beefcake

[@kcm4511]

I found the piebald Hungrian Halfbred north of Valentine. There's a camp you can sometimes find on a ridge overlooking Cumberland Forest.

[@redoofstro]

The Raven Black Shire is by far my favorite horse. I couldn't sell it if I wanted to, I've used it on every playthrough, I'm only just now using other horses. Love that damn thing.

[@josephstalin2606]

Selling it is also pointless you only get like 15 dollars

[@fluffysheap]

0:40 "I can't give you full price on account of it might be stolen" "What do you mean *might* be"

[@steelegoatgaming]

I love the Red Chestnut Suffolk Punch! Best horse for Arthur along with the Black Shire and Dutch Warmblood from the Valentine stable.

[@AndrewPacifico]

Black Raven Shire is perfect ... played the entire game with him, and recently got murdered on mission with him and lost him forever 😭😭

[@Brother_Frank]

🥲

[@aleksanderbuksa1213]

The hungarian halfbred can be found after guarma at the hitching point at van horn and you can have it as your temporary horse unless you saddle it up

[@ArtaxTheWarHorse]

Yea, but you can also find it at the earlier chapters by using one of the glitches.

[@adamporter3402]

The method he showed is way better for early game

[@aleksanderbuksa1213]

You don't have to go to the stables to saddle up just take the saddle of your main horse and put it on the horses you get don't worry you won't lose it because your horse that you took the saddle off will be classified as "temporary horse"

[@timyumwolphies9946]

I sold the raven shire on my first playthrough and regretted it ever since. Second time around I named him Odin and Arthur just looks right with him. Big man on big horse 👌

[@ANNEKE1999]

I love the Sooty Buckskin Dutch Warmblood. It's actually one of my favorite horses in the game, so it's my main mount for Arthur.

[@michaelk139]

the first playthrough I got a hungarian halfbred with the coat in this video & ive been trying to find one like it since. thank you for showing where to find it!

[@Brother_Frank]

The method I used in this video is not working in the latest version I would suggest use the method I used in my latest video Here is the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5iZo4yVoJ2kprcsi=_IUw5S9WTizkFSNl

[@michaelk139]

@@Brother_Frank Thank you for the update, i had indeed trouble triggering the camp so im glad theres another way! I will try this as soon as possible, thanks!

[@frangomezcapace315]

The shire that hosea gives us is bigger than any other shire or horse you can find

[@Miss1Pokemonfan]

I have 2 Shire horses. One white female that I got with Sean from a mission, and a black one that Hosea gave Arthur. They’re great horses. Especially when I go up to the mountains to hunt

[@BRR42922]

Handling is the most noticeable trait horses have IMO. The heavy handling of the Shire’s and Belgian’s are a dealbreaker for me.

[@roledo2009]

Been riding grulo dun mustang i’ve politely acquire from a good bounty hunter. Beautiful horse, didnt tested on a hunt yet but for battle he is fine

[@andreahosea454]

I had the black shire But he disappeared after he got a horse and brought it back toCamp And I love that horse Might not be the fastest horse but it's a really good horse Now my favorite horse is the 1 you find in the mountains which I love that horse The white Arabian

[@randrand681]

Yea first time I had the mealy chestnut I stole it didn;t think anything about it then when I took a good look at it I cleaned her up and with the outfit I had on for Arthur they looked bad ass together had that horse through the whole game.

[@TanoaTamatoa]

If you're lazy and don't wanna go searching for these horses, you can always keep the black shire horse Hosea gives you in "Enter, pursued by a bruised ego"

[@ariannamigliavacca9624]

so uh ive just started chapter 2 and i really want the black shire but even if i talk to hosea he wont give me any mission, do u know how to start that mission?

Oh the first 3 were my favourites in the game!! 🥰

For me it will ever be the Hungarian Halfbred! The Piebaldo or de Dapple grey with white face are both beautiful!

[@Feynel]

i swear to god that i never knew that we could keep the horse hosea gets

[@iclynnx]

In my second playthrough, I kept the raven black Shire and named him Jersey Devil. Been a favorite since then.

[@willdoyle674]

always loved the strawberry roan ardennes from the stables near annesburg. looks great ands got max health and stamina too.

[@martynak7516]

From the first look I knew Shire would be my to the end!!! He’s amazing.

[@Marshall_Mobile]

Can you have Black Shire in the Epilogue With John?

[@Brother_Frank]

Sadly we can't

[@pumkinpatchwork]

wtf this is the perfect video for me lol, I LOVE big horses and was just bemoaning the fact that rdr2 had so few larger horses

[@MattiK2609]

I believe the fastest way to get a Piebald Tobiano Hungarian Halfbred is to go into Blackwater, start a fight with the law, take out enough lawmen to make reinforcements arrive and steal the horse from one of them. Might take a while and yes, I know it's suicide 😅 But one of the lawmen will definitely be riding a Piebald Tobiano. Same goes for Tumbleweed in New Austin and even Valentine, tho the latter takes the longest time for the horse to show up, as far as I've experienced

[@doodles8748]

I love the Perlino Andalusian. Usually my go to usually when we get to the camp at Valentine

[@liamcourtney4578]

You can pick up that exact Hungarian half bred from the guy in painted sky when you collect the money for Strauss, it is in the barn 👍

[@Brother_Frank]

👍

[@itsjustkaela]

the sooty bucksin dutch warmblood has always been a favorite of mine, it's tall and bulky but not too thick like the hungarian halfbred or or the ardennes and to me the stats are in a perfect middle

[@leezaaustin3761]

The black crow shire and the strawberry ardennais ❤

[@stainshield]

Now The Dutch Warmblood you can also get from a Bounty Hunter as well.

[@Username-w6x]

I wish the black shire was All black like the American standardbred, never seen the sooty Dutch horse it looks soo nice. For John I snuck off to del lobo for the tiger bay mustang I think that’s my favorite horse beside my black shire was

[@DrPIGMENN]

Thank you, brother frank

[@Brother_Frank]

❤️

[@Carvisal]

I always use the horse found at the gold digger by streams. It’s pretty reliable and looks really cool

[@SlytherinStolz]

The pie bald Hungarian is my absolute fave horse for Arthur ❤

[@salla8793]

My favorites have been one of the mustangs or the chestnut hungarian halfbred, I always change its mane and tail to match its coat

[@salla8793]

I love to go hunting so bravery is a must, but also good handling so I can run in the trees!

[@LilFrogger]

I have the shire, his names davey and i love him

[@thebelgianlemon6815]

I love the Arabians but they're just too small for the guy who's supposed to be the Van Der Linde gangs main enforcer.

[@Themagnum-44]

Is that if we have already done the hunting mission we can recover it in the redo mission option?

[@Brother_Frank]

No

[@TripleXMango]

I will always ride the Iron Grey Roan Ardennes. He is available only if you own one of the special editions, and pre ordered the game.

[@nin0gg]

how do you know what does boadicea looks like? is there a reference picture of the horse? it seems like arthur really love that horse and i wanna get him that same one

[@Brother_Frank]

It is just a theory that Boadicea was a Liver chestnut Hungarian Half bred but it is not confirmed you can search it in google for more information.

[@Reyrey-number1fan]

i think you can get one, not too sure.. but if you can it might be rare to find.

[@connoranderson7432]

Boadicea was never confirmed to be the cut Liver Chestnut Hungarian Halfbred. In fact, apparently was intended to be ridden my Alfredo Montez in Online, but ended up unused. Currently the horse is impossible to find. It’s been removed from the game and only can be seen on earlier versions of the game, in the Scarlet Meadows stables if you enter the horse tack menu. As far as I know, there is no method of obtaining it yourself, other than mods/save wizard.

[@Reyrey-number1fan]

@@connoranderson7432 Ohhhh, that makes so much sense now

Most of the taller horses have a fat rear end. Shame. The Missouri Fox Trotter is my favorite though. The one you get while loading save after save? Magnificent

I am trying to get the thoroughbred brindle for Arthur My favorite horse is the one you can find near the waterfall near Annesburg

I legit cried over that horse its the best and valentine never has the black shire. Ever.

Great video, but i would add Andalusian horses to this group as well :)

I might be in the minority but i love the appaloosa horses. the black and white spotted from the tilly mission i got for Arthur. I later on got a brown spotted for John at the tumbleweed stable.

I also like the Brown leopard Appaloosa❤️

[@Randomcrap-zx5ks]

If he wasn't so big he could ride other breeds

[@zenbamboo7978]

I watched this last night and today started a new RDR let's play. Right out the gate in Chapter 2, I take my Kentucky Saddler out on a walk around the area to look for wild horses (The idea was to tame my own horse, never take nothing from nobody) when up on a ledge by a bridge, what do I see? O'Driscolls. Setting up a toll. Well, from up on that ledge I draw my repeater and hang those bastards out to dry. After looting them all, I free the horses. A Suffolk Punch and a blonde chestnut Belgian Draft. I told the Punch to flee, but immediately mounted the Belgian Draft. Since then, I've been running around The Heartlands with this big dope and can't wait to access the stables so I can pass off my Saddler to a new home and give this hulking beast a shot. Do I have a name for him yet? Nope. But I've bonded with him already. He's my horse.

[@KouroshKabir123x]

Man I just got a nice saddle and everything for my Raven Black Shire, got it all nice and good looking, and not even 5 minutes after leaving the stables I got jumped by Bounty Hunters and my horse is now dead. The game autosaved right afterwards too. Fml
