Once purchased, the War Horse can be made the player's mount by opening the Inventory at any time and using the Deed under the Consumables tab.

Trivia

 * Given its uncommon silver dapple coloration, the War Horse may have been modeled after the real world Rocky Mountain Horse. Please see the linked article for more information about this real world animal.
 * The War Horse can be seen in the Outlaws to the End co-op mission &quot;The Kidnapped Girl&quot;, where one of the bandits will ride one into Ridgewood Farm.

Bugs

 * Sometimes a second War Horse might appear after a rare bug that involves a NPC "stealing" the player's horse, but instead of running away with it, this one will stay still. Note that for this unusual bug to happen two NPC would stand together next to each other doing nothing and when the player goes near them, one of the two grabs the horse. Whistling will cause the horse to buck off the NPC. After that the NPC will grab the horse again, but this time after whistling the horse will ignore the player, as if the NPC is now the owner of the horse. When grabbing the horse again (will be considered as stealing) and whistling, a new horse of the same breed will come. This has been observed on the southern road of Mercer Station and in Alta Cabeza in the middle of the four mountains, or in Blackwater with a lawman.
