For the Red Dead Redemption variant, see Hungarian Half-bred.

The Hungarian Half-bred is a horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2.

They tend to have higher health and stamina, but lower speed and acceleration. Its handling gives it moderate reactivity and agility.

Description[]

Hungarian Half-breds are courageous war horses, renowned for their fearlessness. This makes them a good choice to have in combat, although it should be noted that this breed does not have as much health and stamina as other war horses. They are healthy and possess average stamina, speed and acceleration.

Catalogue Description[]

Originally bred for competition, the Hungarian Half-bred exhibits strength and stamina prized by many. Fine for sports or on the battlefield, they are quiet and eager to learn, alert and attentive. Their withers are well defined, the head alert, the limbs strong and muscular, and the hindquarters rounded and powerful. The Hungarian Half-bred is a quality war horse with a high level of strength.

Special variants[]

Old Boy[]

The horse of John Marston throughout most of 1899. This horse first appears at Horseshoe Overlook after John's previous horse was killed by wolves in the snowy mountains of Ambarino. Old Boy has a "Silver Dark Bay" coat and is one of the few horses to not get skittish when the player approaches it. In the mission "Red Dead Redemption", Old Boy is shot dead by Pinkertons along with Arthur's horse, forcing Arthur and John to continue on foot.

Trivia[]

  • John's mount in 1899, "Old Boy", is most likely a reference to the nickname that Edgar Ross gives John in Red Dead Redemption.
  • In the mission "Money Lending and Other Sins I", if the player enters Wróbel's barn, they can steal his Hungarian Half-bred. It is the Dapple Dark Gray variant.
  • "Hungarian Half-bred" is an alternate name for the Nonius, which originated from a stallion of the same name who was half Thoroughbred or Norfolk Roadster and half Norman. Real Nonius, however, do not come in gray or any form of pinto. However, the "Hungarian Half-bred" could actually be the Kisber Felver, another half-bred horse breed from Hungary since it comes in gray.
  • The Tobiano does not spawn in the wild and is not purchasable from stables. It only spawns as police mounts in settlements, in random NPC camps, in specific story missions (such as from Cornwall's men in "An Honest Mistake", and is intended to be commandeered in Van Horn after you return from Guarma). It occasionally spawns in Alden's third stagecoach robbery mission and Part 3 of "The Mercies of Knowledge", as well as in Bill's coach robbery mission.
  • The Liver Chestnut Hungarian Half-bred was intended to be ridden by Alfredo Montez in Red Dead Online, but goes unused in the final game.[1]
