Special variants

Old Boy

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