Obstacles in Our Path

 is the 3rd mission in Red Dead Redemption.

In this mission you get to race with Bonnie and you get introduced to horse riding, a important element of Red Dead Redemption. There is not so much story in this mission as its more of a tutorial.

Story
Bonnie asks John of him and Bill Williamson but John likes not to talk of it about people as it might put them in trouble. Bonnie then says a city man like him must have some exotic secrets at which John responds that he is no city man. Bonnie then challenges him to a horse riding race.

Walkthrough
You have to follow a path marked by beacons of smoke which can also be seen on the radar map, you may experience problems like falling from your horse. Just follow the marks untill the end. You won't fail the mission if you lose but the rewards may be different. The only reward from losing is getting 20 fame. After the race Bonnie tells you to go to Marshal Leigh Johnson which leads you to your next and fourth mission "Political Realities in Armadillo".
