Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]
Clemens Point Chapter[]
In "Horse Flesh for Dinner" Javier Escuella, Arthur Morgan, and John Marston get word of some prized Thoroughbreds at Braithwaite Manor and head over to the stables there under the guise of being horse breeders. Old Faithful is in the stable and will be fed and remarked upon by the stablehand if the player waits long enough to take him out. After the stablehand is taken care of, Arthur is tasked with calming Old Faithful down and tethers him to Boaz alongside Old Father Time and Cerberus. This leads to an ensuing shootout at the manor in which the three horses are led out, though after the gunfire has stopped, Old Father Time breaks free of his tether and he is forced to wait as Arthur then goes to try and lasso him, in which this succeeds and he is brought to Clive and Clay Davies who agree to buy him for a greatly reduced price.
