Trivia[]
- The second trailer for the game showed Arthur riding a Bay Overo American Paint with a texture that doesn't appear anywhere in the final game, though the markings appear on the compendium image. Subsequently, the texture for this horse was completely removed from the files before release.
- There also exists a black variation of this paint ridden by a lawman in the Official Gameplay Trailer.
- Contrary to the Compendium, the regular Splashed White coat cannot be located in the wild, instead only found at NPC camps. There is no other way to obtain this horse without exploits, however, Eagle Flies can be seen riding this horse in "Eastward Bound".
