Special variants[]
Old Belle[]
The horse of Karen Jones throughout 1899. Old Belle has a "Smoky Black" coat and can be found within the gang's camp.
Falmouth[]
The horse of Charles Smith throughout 1907. Falmouth has a "Grey Roan Sabino" coat and, before the mission "American Venom", can be found at Beecher's Hope. In the mission "Home Improvement for Beginners", Falmouth is used alongside Uncle's horse, Nell IV, to pull down the shack that originally stood on the land at Beecher's Hope.
Trivia[]
- The Scarred Blue Roan found in Murfree Brood Random Encounters will be underweight and have empty cores when first acquired, likely due to their poor treatment by the Murfrees. Despite being labelled as a Nokota, this horse uses a slightly modified version of the Appaloosa model.
- The scarred horses are considered special by the game, and as such cannot be sold to Clay Davies because he "doesn't want to deal with the owner".
- The two encounters that include the Scarred Blue Roan are as follows: One involves the Murfrees with a wagon full of corpses and a woman, with a 1/3 chance of the Blue Roan spawning. The other method involves setting up a campfire in Murfree country and there may be a random encounter where the Murfrees will talk down to the player and ride away on the Scarred Blue Roan and Scarred Blanket Appaloosa.
- A random encounter near Blackwater features a White Roan Nokota that has been shot with arrows. Brushing the horse will clean up the wounds, but the arrows will only be removed when the horse's model is refreshed (typically occurs when visiting a stable, reloading the game, or during specific missions).
