Dark Horse

The Dark Horse is a special mount gained by having the lowest honor level. It seems to be in between a 1-star & 2-star ranked horse. It shows up when the character whistles while not having an alive horse saved. The Dark Horse is a black horse with a white face and scarred body. If the horse dies it will respawn after the in-game delay. If the player's honor becomes neutral or good the dark horse will not respond to the whistle, even if it was saved at a hitching post.

When used in the mission The Sport of Kings and Liars, the horse can barely keep pace with the medium speed horses in the race. The reason for a lower than average speed special mount, in this case, would probably be due to the main character choosing the dishonorable path; so it's more of a curse than a blessing. At times, even if you have a different mount to replace it the Dark Horse will still show up after whistling for your current horse (also part of the curse). The only positive light that one might say about this horse is "Well, at least a Sickly Nag didn't show up!". It may be one of the best looking horses in the game, but that's about it, the novelty wears off pretty quick.
