I bought both the Upland and the Nacogdoches (with the hooded stirrups) and used them on all four of my high end horses. I see a pretty significant difference in stamina drain across the board which I guess confirms what you said in the video. Actually watched this a couple of weeks ago, but needed to get enough money to buy the saddles and test them myself. So, I'm using the Nacogdoghes pretty much all the time.

This is such excellent content I don't even know where to start. I think you would make it in the scientific field. I'm honest. You have the critical thinking and even when you find something that speaks to one behalf, you immediately counter even if it means you don't get what you thought or wanted. This is crucial in the scientific field and I applaud anyone outside academia who has this mindset. Using it to present video game mechanics is just a bonus. The accent is a cherry on top.

[@emiliozamora507]

I use the nagadoches saddle because it's the only saddle in the game where it increases the horses speed and acceleration by 1 bar and with the best stirrups which increases it by 2, together they give the horse an extra 3 speed and 3 acceleration. My Norfolk Roadster is my fastest horse with 10 speed and 9 acceleration

[@emiliozamora507]

@Florida Man no 10 is the highest in speed and stamina. Each horse has a limit based on the breed, nature, build and behavior examples: Arabians have the best handling but get scared the quickest The new mustangs are similar to the Arabian with the same speed but more health and stamina and are the bravest horse in the game so a better alternative than the Arabian Norfolk Roadster is the best horse for travel and speed with 10 speed and 9 acceleration max

[@dragosnow3063]

Right?! I bought the saddle, went to buy stirrups and the saddle bag only to see they are all greyed out. On top of that, the new BH saddle suffers from the same lame animation that the Naturalist saddle does when trying to mount your horse. It looks so dumb how your character throws their body on the horse bc they dont use the stirrups. But even the Naturalist upgraded saddle bags only hold 5 outfits...

The Nacogdoches Saddle was intentionally "accidentally" made the best saddle in the game because of the book Blood Meridian. Nacogdoches is the town where all the madness begins in the book and being one of the more influential modern works of "Wild West" literature and one of the darkest, most violent books ever, makes sense, plus the skulls. IMHO.

3:08 - The 3 Gold Speed Bars increas from "Nachadoches" vs 2 Gold Speed Bars increase from "Upland" is actually only a 0.7% difference in speed (which translates to a 1 second lead victory in racing from Emerald Station to Valentine Station across the map).

It really depends if you have a particular fashion in mind. I have a MFT named Cipher dyed in gray, so I needed a blue saddle, and the Nacogdoches is the only one with that color, somewhat.
