Damn straight it would! Best time riding a donkey was doing a bounty hunt with my friends in a posse, me wearing a sombrero and poncho, riding el burro into a bunch of enemies and flicking dynamite left and right while my friends watched and went "what the hell is he doing?? OMG he made it thru!" hehehe. Then I had to let poor little donkey go. For no saddle it had insanely good stamina, imagine with a full-on saddle and stirrups that lil donkey would never stop!

[@izzykins_1749]

My favourite horse is the Black Chestnut Thoroughbred. Not only is this horse a huge flex because it's only available for ultimate addition players it also has such a pretty coat. Not to mention it's one of the biggest horses on the game with full speed and race handling as long as you use the Nacodoches saddle!

The arabian horse is really small, it feels like you’re riding on a pony, but the white arabian is just too gorgeous!! 😍

[@CosmicAeon]

Yeah I think for people who voted arabians it's all just about the colours. If you want a classic all-black or all-white horse then your options are surprisingly limited. There's a few others but not many are totally black/white like arabians are.

[@diamondarmy5546]

Black Arabian is more gorgeous

[@Duck274]

The Shire is the monster truck of Red Dead, so they're obviously the best.

[@PaveMentman]

--- Not to also mention that since it's actually physically largest horse-game it could be considered a "meta"-winner due the size-attribute: - It can trample (predators) and tackle (small birds) far more easier ( Like I've had numerous cougars and "reskinned"-felines lunge right into the legs of my Shire-horse and pretty much instantly die right on the spot ) - It can walk/run through most of the rivers and water-spots whereas all other horses need to swim - It can climb-up and down far more easier ---

[@SSSplayerSSS]

Turkoman is my number 1 choice because of the perfect balance between the looks (I personally think it's the best-looking horse in the game) and the bonuses it has (even though those bonuses don't work at all). And about the looks, it has that one option with a mix of a brown and black colour, and I really really love it. Looks beautiful in the sone.

[@TheOnlyTaps]

Good to see a wide variation across the player base on preferred horses. I tend to lean towards the spotted tricolor norfolk roadster, and the dark bay turkoman. Those are the two I use the most out of my stable. My last outside shout would be the gold turkoman but I didn't bother buying it since I own the dark bay turkoman I didn't wanna waste money on two of them. I think Arabian people like it because the plain white and plain black just looks simplistic but works with most styles regardless how your character looks and what saddles you go with etc...

[@soldeburca6103]

I really like the shire ,arabian and the Missouri fox trotter

[@JorvikBerserkir]

I'm a Shire man myself, I live in the Shire (Yorkshire) and I'm 6'3 so I've looked daft on most horses I've mounted so I take that into the game and only go shire horses, they are the only ones I dont look like a clown on.. also because of a guy called Gypsy Joe, maybe other Yorkies will know of him

[@deliahdeschain302]

I personally dont like small horses. Arabians, Mustangs ect. The coats are nice, especially the newly added ones, but it feels like I am on a Pony. Mostly I use the Turkoman and Kladruber. Turkoman because its overall looking great in proportions and the Kladruber for the unique Roman Nose. That aside - as it is personal taste after all - the body itself is built nicely too. The Arabian comes with a dished face as well and I think Rockstar did a nice job of portraying certain breed characteristics and let them stand out from the "mainstream" horse looks. Thats my opinion.

[@juanthotti8497]

Donkey for the win.

[@fsggames2022]

You will know where Arabian horse shines if you run high speed at the winding cliffs and twisting roads in the north without pressing the brake. Most of the time you only need an MFT for the rest of the map and Buell like Dutch Warmblood stats for hunting without worrying your stamina CORES drains so easily for lots of pelts skins carried by it. DONKEY is very fast if you surprised it with predators and all the horses whatever class it is, but sucks in Health and stamina in long way running. If you want presentation , nothing beats the Tennessee Walker.

[@knightshiba7544]

Easiest but most common choice is the Silver Dapple Pinto Missouri Fox Trotter. Its common, but this horse is hella pretty.

[@astroterf.]

I thought that, bought it, but I really don't like it now...idky it just looks 'off' Just bought a Gypsy Cob, finally, and it was a toss-up between the MFT or marble sabino criollo to discard to make way...got rid of the criollo but I think I'm going to trade in the MFT as well, lol We are all different, I guess!

for me bretone, tinker and norfolk roadster are the best looking horses because they are big, look extremely strong with a lot of muscles like a beast and bretone and tinker have maximum health too. bretone has awesome behaviour in gunfights and when animals attack (if you know how to handle it right) and is still pretty fast. but i also like the new brown bindle missouri foxtrotter because it looks like a tiger :)

It’s like why do I have to keep the level 1 horse just to get that coat. It really should be more customizable. In GTA can’t you change the color of your car🤯

Had a White Missouri Fox Trotter as my second horse in the game, was good enough but at the time I was new and wanted the Arabian obviously, after using the Arabian for so long I was fed up of it constantly dropping me off after seeing any predator that's still miles away. Few days after I got myself the naturalist role I got a shire mainly coz of the size, and I have a female character, just hilarious to watch the size difference tho. Best part, my shire with a panther or cougar at its legs just manages to trample them to death eventually while I calm it down all the way, not a shot fired.

[@bbnflpn]

honestly, after riding the Arabian vs. the dutch warm blood (in game) you will notice a difference in the way the horse acts. the Arabian is flighty while the warm blood will take a beating for a bit. Warm bloods are awesome. there is a reason they are called warm bloods because they are a cross of a hot blood (Arabian, thoroughbred type) and a cold blood type (Belgian, shire, clydsdayle) to get a cooling down of the hot while making the cold more agile and nimble. and yes i have ridden horses, both for pleasure and in competition, both western and english on several different breeds. from the horses i have ridden in rdo the movement and "quirks" are similar to the standard traits of the breeds, albeit somewhat altered for gameplay.

[@roughroadstudio]

Black Turk, Brindle Buckskin MFT, Any Norfolk Roadster. It's unfortunate though that the horses are larger than they should be compared proportionately to player size. That makes the Shire, which I love, way too big. Hoping they will come out with a black Shire.

[@charmanderichooseyou2726]

If size mattered that much, no one would like the donkey haha. But in all honesty, I really like that the Arabian is eye level with our character, it feels more immersive because I feel my character is actually looking at the horse, instead of just facing the horse. If this game made us look up to look the bigger horses in the eye when facing it, I feel my opinion could change. My choice on best looking horse while riding the horse, would probably be the Breton

[@Maraaass]

I absolute favorite is Paint Horse Overo. I just love this little derp and that creamy brown with white splashes on the fur. Throw in some black tail and white/black mane? It looks glorious to me. My second favorite is Criollo both Overo variants. So cute. My last favorite is Norfolk Tricolor. It's a big horse and I prefer those small horses so that's why it's my last favorite one. I tried different horses. The golden and chestnut Turkoman and are very big and regal horses with amazing coloring. But the white marks on that ginger Turkoman look bit weird so I'd actually prefer standard chestnut Kentucky Saddler. Brown with stripes Fox Trotter is very interesting looking one too. There are many great looking horses. So many. It's up to our own tastes what we like most :) I actually bought black Arabian - I grinded Bounty Hunter and Daily Challenges. Only to buy and hate this horse. I was new to the game - I dislike how Arabians look but it had great stats so I thought I'll buy it. I sold this horse. XD
