Specifically, this wild horse breed spawns more often in an open area to the southeast of Fort Riggs, right past the river. The Wild Hungarian Halfbred can be found near the city of Blackwater. The Appaloosa is actually a very good horse race in Red Dead Redemption 2, so you may want to bond with one to increase its stats and get yourself a very trusty steed. The Wild Appaloosa is usually found to the west of Donner Falls, which are located to the north of the Bacchus Bridge. The Wild American Standardbred can be found more often in an area to the north of Valley View, right by the river. This area of the map can only be accessed late in the game.

The Wild American Paint can be found in the southern part of the map, in an area to the south of Tumbleweed and to the north of the gap between the "N" and "E" in New Austin, to the north of the road. You can also move the saddle to the new horse if you want to take it your main horse. After a short while, the game will notify you of your success. To do it, you need to move the left stick in the opposite direction of the horse's movement. Once a wild horse has been mounted, it's time to break it.

Continue using it until the horse has visibly calmed down to mount it. Keep L2/LT pressed to keep the horse lassoed, and then use the Calm option when it becomes available. Once a wild horse has been lassoed, you need to get close to it. If the horse is trying to get away, mount your current horse. Once you find a horse you like in the wild, take out the lasso and use it on the horse while in range. They also have a very low spawn chance, so you may need to return to the area more than once to make them appear.Ĭatching and taming wild horses in rather straightforward in Red Dead Redemption 2. The six rare breeds, which are among the best horses in the game, can only be encountered in specific locations. The regular breeds can be encountered in multiple locations, but there are areas where the spawn rate is higher and so it's easier to come across them. In total there are 15 different wild horse breeds in Red Dead Redemption 2, six of them being rare breeds. So if you don't have much money, catching wild horses is the way to go if you're looking for a better steed to accompany you through the game. Stealing horses is not really advisable, as you also need to "take care of" any witnesses to prevent getting reported to the law and increasing your bounty. Not counting purchasing them in Stables, it's possible to steal them or catch wild ones that can be found roaming all over the map. New horses in Red Dead Redemption 2 can be obtained in a variety of ways. There are a lot of different breeds in the game, so finding the best possible horse is a fun, but money and time-consuming, activity. Shortly after the game's first Chapter, players are able to not only improve their current horse's stats by bonding with it, but also to purchase new horses in Stables.
