Red Dead Redemption 2 players have figured out how to get every horse for free? ›

You'll want to seek out a spot north of Saint Denis, the city at the southeast corner of the map. Between two unassuming houses, you'll find a stable where two randomly selected horses will spawn. "Unlike all of the other random horse spawns, these 2 pull from a pool of all of the horses," writes Marcass2021.

The best free horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the Arabian horse with a white coloured coat. It's ever so slightly lower in health and stamina than the two Arabians mentioned above, but it's still a superb option, and is available at just one location in the game: in the wild, up in the north-western part of the map.

As of April 2023, players are still able to bond and lure a Missouri Fox Trotter in RDR2 from the Scarlet Meadows Stables using the stolen carriage exploit. The first step is to find a small wagon and lasso the coachman. Hijack the carriage and ride to the Scarlett Meadows stables in Lemoyne.

Some animal shelters also have free horses, although some shelters accept only small animals. Actually, these probably won't be free horses, exactly. They'll be horses for adoption, so you'll have to pay an adoption fee. Still, the fee will usually be nominal.

RDRD 2 War Horse Cheat Code

To enter cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2, pause the game, select SETTINGS and press TRIANGLE (on PlayStation 4) or Y (on Xbox One) to enter the Cheats menu. Enter a code from the list below. To spawn the War Horse, enter the code "You are a beast built for war."

And when you do purchase your new Missouri Fox Trotter (if it is registered), be sure to transfer the horse into your name. The seller will provide the paperwork for you to do so. This may prove that you are the owner if there is a question about ownership in the future in the absence of a bill of sale.

Today, Missouri Fox Trotters are the ultimate pleasure and trail horses for owners of all physical abilities thanks to their smooth gait. While this breed is relatively healthy, they still need appropriate care and management to maintain long-term well-being and soundness.

For the Thoroughbred horse, you must visit a stable. You'll do this as part of the main story in Chapter 2, specifically the Exit Pursued By a Bruised Ego mission. From there you have the option to purchase horses, and the Thoroughbred horse will be available for free.

Once you've done that, you'll find out that the best horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2 you can purchase is an Arabian. They are always the most expensive when you're shopping at a stable, averaging around $1000, and offer excellent speed, acceleration and handling.

Arthur Morgan will find a new horse early on in his adventure, but after you reach Chapter 2 you can undertake a quest with Hosea - Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego - and he'll teach you about selling and buying new horses, and picking your primary riding horse, or stabling extra horses!

How do you get the best horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 early? ›

This is early on in the game, a reward for completing the Chapter 2 mission “Exit, Pursued By A Bruised Ego,” where you hunt a Legendary Bear with Hosea. Once you've done that, you'll find out that the best horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2 you can purchase is an Arabian.
