The Thoroughbred is a horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Thoroughbreds tend to have higher speed and acceleration, but lower health and stamina. Its handling gives it higher reactivity and agility.

Catalogue Description[]

Known for their mastery of racing and jumping, their gait is powerful, exhibiting agility and speed. The withers are high, the back short, the body lean and the chest deep. Thoroughbred horses are racehorses and will carry out maximum exertion for long periods, if the rider requests it. Our line of Thoroughbreds is the finest of any catalogue, auction house or equestrian concern.

Description[]

Thoroughbreds are race horses, identifiable by their lean legs, athletic build and deep chest. This breed is famous for speed and agility, though can be clumsy if pushed too far. Their good stamina and acceleration make them perfect for racing short distances.

Special variants[]

Rachel[]

The horse of John Marston in 1907. Rachel has a unique Seal Brown coat and serves as the player's default horse in the epilogue. Rachel can be stabled, sold, renamed, re-styled and equipped with better gear. Due to her being a unique horse, she cannot be re-obtained if she is lost.

Trivia[]

  • In the mission "Enter, Pursued by a Memory" there is a unique Silver Bay variant that was formerly owned by John which appears only as a corpse (with a black mane and tail). The Silver Bay is very thin and somewhat resembles the Scrawny Nag, and the horse has much lower stats than other thoroughbreds as well as having standard handling. There are two versions of the Silver Bay, one of which is much skinnier than the other. The stirrups on the skinny version are glitched unless the horse is being ridden and attempting to modify the components on this version of the horse will make the horse invisible. This horse cannot be stabled and will instead remove slots from the stable permanently upon attempting to do so.
  • It is possible to spawn all thoroughbreds including the Silver Bay,[2] the Black Chestnut, and the Reverse Dapple Black using the cheat codes "Run! Run! Run!" or "You want something new".
  • If the Black Chestnut is spawned into the game's story mode, the horse is bugged and removes slots in the stable permanently when tamed. In addition, it cannot be stored in a stable, sold, and its appearance cannot be modified. The game will denote it as either a Dutch Warmblood or a Tennessee Walker when put in the stable.
  • Once stabled, the Reverse Dapple Black Thoroughbred cannot be sold. If the player bonds with two horses while the horse is out or the horse dies the player will no longer have ownership of the horse and they will have to buy the horse again from the stable.
