The Kentucky Saddler is a horse breed featured in Red Dead Redemption. It is among the top tier of horse available. The Kentucky Saddler is described as being "golden pearl in color", though it is technically a palomino.
A chance to break this horse is present at the end of the mission Wild Horses, Tamed Passions (recieved from Bonnie). Also, this is one of the three fastest horses of the game. It is the most balanced of the three with decent speed and health.
Deed
A deed for this horse, or for any horse in the game for that matter, can be purchased at any general store for $1500 ($750 with high enough honor) after you have successfully broken the horse at least once. Deeds are permanent items, meaning they are not single use items. You can use a deed as many times as you like, and it will still remain in your inventory. Usage of a deed will allow you to respawn your horse in the event it is killed or you would simply like to switch horses.

- in the forest area directly above 'Tall Trees'.

Losing the Kentucky Saddler
It´s not uncommon to lose it. If you do lose it and have the deed, all you have to do is use the deed to bring it back. This is also an easy way to quicksave. If you lose it and haven´t got the deed you can kill your current horse, wait a little while and whistle. Doesn´t always work on the first try. Please note that you will lose some honor for killing your horse, though if you have the bandana and put it on you will not lose honor.
