I think Missouri Fox Trotter is one of the fastest horses in game and can be bought without getting a high rank or role level.

However, it costs at least $950 and you also need to spend about $150 for insurance, + you should buy a good saddle, ideally nacogdoches with best stirrups.

So you need to save a little bit more.

Or you can go ahead and buy red arabian horse. It is pretty quick and is only $300. Good starter horse.

There is no difference in horse behavior so a war horse is no better in combat than a race horse. Except for health difference.

Depends what you do in game. You can buy any horse and ride it or you can invest in the best horse without losing money on buying a better horse later.

Ideally, is to have several best horses.

Some people say that the difference between acceleration and top speed at higher levels is minor but I prefer my Nordfolk Roadsters because I can slowly catch up to anyone. (You can't buy roadsters as they are locked behind moonshiner so go with Fox Trotter)
Okay thanks for the info :lunar2019grinningpig: I bought the arabian one for 250€. Everything is better than the first horse in RDO. :steamthumbsdown:

Save up another $100 and get a Turkoman Chestnut.

It's a decent all around horse that doesn't need any roles.

Get another horse and don't buy insurance. Your horse doesn't die enough to cover the cost of it. If the horse dies it gets replaced instantly by the other horse then it's 4 bucks for vet bills to get it back. I second that mustang. Especially at 20 you'll appreciate the high stamina. But any of those new horses: Fox Trotter, Turkoman and Mustang are good.

Mustang is enough and not need to spent 1000 dollar.

I not see difference. I already have all: arabian, fox trotter etc...

There is a difference. I am able to catch up to any black arabian gradually if I use nordfolk roadster

In red dead online the speed and acceleration is all the same(i have tested it the arabian and all other). Only the andrenaline and the life is different.

they fear as much as any horse
Not mine, he politely tramples grizzlies and gators. I know it's random, but this thing is built like a brick ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and does not scare easy at all.

Not going to argue with you because the subject is a dead beaten horse itself. I will just let anyone else who stumbles upon this thread know.

There are a lot of people in life who will say i have done/tested this and will show you no ounce of proof.

Most of the people not have tested and says have different speed and acceleration, i know some friend with same idea before, and i show it is same.

You can ask at friends to start a race and see you self. Not need a proof.

The Mustang is a good horse for a starter :)
