Is there a way to get rid of the free thoroughbred from the intro stable mission?

I really don't like that horse, and he's taking up a stable slot that I could have put about a dozen other horses that I do like into.

I can't sell him in Valentine, or at the stable just across the state line in Lemoine (a little south west of Emerald Ranch).

I try to set him free, and he just winds up back in the stable when I pull a different horse out.

I even tried to shoot the *******, but the game won't let me shoot him.

I don't like him. He's ugly af. I named him 'Fugly'. I just want to be rid of him.

Progress through the story a bit more so you can sell horses at the stables. Once you get back from that mission you will have bought another horse and can get rid of the old one.

Throw a stick of dynamite at him.. and then poof he is dead..

No, you're misunderstanding. I have completed that intro mission to the stables with Hosea; the one where afterwards you head with him into the mountains to hunt the scarface bear.

I can sell any other horse.

I just can't seem to get rid of the free thoroughbred that was 'purchased' during that mission.

Hmm... I'll give that a try when I get to the point that I can use dynamite. Though, considering I can't blast him in his stupid face with a shotgun, the game might make him immune to dynamite as well.

I see.

Get 2 more horses. Tame them or steal them. Saddle them up and get affinity up to 1. The story won't let you have 3 horses at that stage. Ride out of range of the camp on your new horse with your new backup horse following. I distinctly remember loosing that exact horse this way. I wouldn't recommend the dutch halfbreed you can get from the collection mission though. That horse hates you and will ride you directly into baddies that are shooting at you.

You can kill horses with explosives.
