Temporary Horse

[Heri]

Any way to get my temporary horse to teleport to me? It's on the other side of the map and it'll take me too long to go there to get the horse, I just want to get rid of it.

In Story or Online?

In Story, if you are too far away, all you can really do is steal a horse or wagon and go to it.

Story, okay I just picked her up from the snowy mountains, any way I can register it as a 2nd horse instead of a temporary one?

If you tame it and then bond with it to at least the 1st level it becomes your second horse, it will follow you and your main horse in fast travel, and you can use it for a second horse when hunting/trapping.

If you stable it after you bond with it, it will be available from then on in any stable, but you can't use it as a second for hunting, etc., you can only do that until you stable it, then you'll have to tame another from the wild to have a 2nd.

You can have multiple Horses, sure.

If you want another, it is best to Calm, Mount and Tame (Break-In) a Wild Horse. Wild Horses have no saddle. It's not worth wasting your time with an NPCs horse that is already saddled. While in Story you can steal and sell those at a Stable; it's hardly worth your time due to how low of $ you will get.

Wild Horses are ok to do this though, either to tame and then sell, or you can select option to stable it (if you have a slot for it at a Stable) and this will take ownership of that horse. You can switch horses at a Stable.

Story Mode does allow for the following though (Online does not); where once you grab a wild horse, as long as you reach lvl 1 bonding with it, you can then ensure it is calmed, then get off that horse and ride your owned primary horse, the wild horse @ lvl 1 bond will show up as another horse icon on Radar/Map. This means its under your control and will follow you when you call it by pressing H. This method is helpful early in the game as a means of a way to carry 2 animal carcass back to camp to donate as food. I would just ensure that any animals you skin, stow those skins onto your main horse, just in-case something happens to that 2nd horse.

Any horse you take back to the stable and wish to keep, you must buy insurance for it. If you do not and the horse gets killed some how, you will lose it forever.

The only wild horses I really bother with taking full ownership of is Arabian. As you can get that White Arabian from the Northern snowy area over and over again. Once you are able to eventually reach a lvl 4 bond with that horse, it can sell for around $180. A Black Arabian can sell for around $210 or so, but they are very rare. I kept a Black one for myself and then just keep grabbing White ones, leveling them up and selling them. Nokota and American Paint aren't too bad to grab either. Thoroughbred I'm pretty sure you have to purchase though, but is free if you purchased Ultimate Edition.
