Carts

Carts are a type of transport found in Red Dead Redemption. They are drawn by one horse, they are typically used to carry goods and equipment rather than people. If needed, a cart may carry a single occupant. In the game, players have the chance to attend cart races, in which they control a cart pulled by one horse through some of the many valleys in New Austin.

The cart is one of the fastest ways to travel in Red Dead Redemption, often reaching a speed that is nearly uncontrollable. Be cautious when driving at full speed, this nearly always results in hitting a rock or hard object which will break the cart. The cart then becomes detached from the horse and there is no way to fix the cart, however you can still ride the horse given it isn't dead.Though no matter how hard you crash, you will always survive the fall, unless you tumble down a cliff or something.

Drifting
A fun way to use the cart is to drift around corners. For example, when approaching a right turn, steer slightly to the left when players are about 500m away from the turn. When it just about to make the turn, steer fully to the right. It will be drifting very wide and very far. Be careful not to hit rocks when drifting. Hitting a rock will cause the cart to flip over.

Also at random times, a civilian may appear and ask Marston to retrieve his stolen cart. It's possible to ignore this, or kill/subdue the hijacker and retrieve the cart. The civilian will thank you and pays anything between $1 to $100.
