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 him. 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 Dapple Dark Gray Hungarian Half-bred
- The Dapple Dark Gray coat can also be acquired from bounty hunters.
- Benedict Allbright has a Dapple Dark Gray that can be taken during "Good, Honest, Snake Oil".
- "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 they come in gray.
- The Tobiano does not spawn in the wild and is not purchasable from stables. The horse 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). The horse 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]
