Trivia[]

In the mission "Sodom? Back to Gomorrah", the last lawman on horseback is riding a Rose Grey Andalusian.
In the mission "Honor, Amongst Thieves", Captain Monroe rides a Dark Bay Andalusian.
Prior to the horse's official release in the December 2019 update, the Perlino Andalusian was only obtainable through using the cheats "You Are A Beast Built For War" or "You Want Something New".
Though rare, it's possible for the Perlino Andalusian to accidentally buck themself and the player off the cliff the horse is located on while the player is breaking the horse in. This, along with the fact that wolves can spawn in this location as well is why it is recommended for the player to be cautious when trying to obtain this horse.
