Special variants[]

Branwen[]

The horse of Kieran Duffy in 1899. Branwen has a "Flaxen Roan" coat and is first seen being ridden by Kieran during "Old Friends". He will then appear at Horseshoe Overlook soon after Kieran is inducted into the gang.

Mahogany Bay[]

Arthur Morgan acquires this unique horse from the Adler Ranch barn during "Outlaws From the West". In her disheveled state, Sadie claims the horse belonged to the O'Driscolls, but the horse appears at her barn in Red Dead Online, and can be either male or female due to a bug. Immediately after "Enter, Pursued by a Memory" the horse can die and will be replaced by the generic chestnut Tennessee Walker if this happens. Following “Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego”, the player can name him or sell him at the stables. He will be lost along with the rest of Arthur's mounts in "Red Dead Redemption", and cannot be brought into the Epilogue through legitimate means.

Trivia[]

  • There is a loading screen that depicts an NPC riding a Flaxen Roan Tennessee Walker, despite the coat only being available to purchase during the epilogue.
  • If the player enters a mission, respawns, or restarts the game without an active main horse they will be given a Chestnut Tennessee Walker.
  • The Scarred Black Rabicano is mistakenly classed as a work horse. Despite being labelled as a Tennessee Walker, this horse uses a slightly modified version of the Appaloosa model.
