Capturing the white Arabian horse

[daleslad]

I've been watching videos on how to catch the Arabian but all of the tips they give you for catching it and staying in the saddle if you get that far are for the Xbox . I'm on a PC so it's not much help, can anyone tell me how to catch this horse using a PC.

I am planning on trying but not sure if I can still do it, I completed Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego mission early on . I didn't kill the bear but I chose to stick around and not go back to camp with Hosea.

Ok, thanks

Yes it's good to practice. Start by just standing and lassoing own horse(which I think you did). Try it on people, they don't move fast. The Arabians are the fastest and very able to turn quickly.

I was like you, kept trying and failing until a few weeks ago. Had all but given up, because there aren't many tips on YT on lasso for PC. But just keep your finger super glued to R mouse.

I managed to lasso the white Arabian about four times. But stamina drained so quick reigning it in. Took stamina potion and that allowed it to escape again.

Personally I've tried most horses but prefer reverse dapple Nokota. Bought in St Denis. Fast as Arabian, but cored up is calm and can outrun anything, incl: predators.

Have people seen the YT vid on motion capture of the horses. And the skills of the rider they used. It's no wonder they are so good.

The black Arabian is free, you just have to steal it during an encounter in Saint Denis.
Zero has a guide on how to obtain it. Check out his profile for it and other helpful guides.
**edit** Was on mobile when I wrote that but here's the guide:

thanks for the praise ahaha <3

Lol no problem! <3
Been following this particular guide to get the horse myself. I may have already had this encounter and saved the couple but at least I know where to go to get it in case I didn't botch it, lol.

@OP, it took me a few days to finally see the Arabian at the location, kept going up there. I took the slow route and tamed it with pressing G when prompted, easing up slowly, rinse and repeat for maybe 25 mins. Once on, I didn't have much trouble with it except the wolves that came, damn those wolves. Hopefully, following the guide for the black Arabian will be easier for you than having to deal with a feisty unbroken Arabian, the waiting period and annoying wolves.

Also, been lucky to steal the brindle thoroughbred from the lady who wants to race. There's NPC camps that will spawn around the map with various horses to steal. I've stolen a Nokota and a mustang from poor NPC's too. Keep an eye out for those, as well.

Ok Zero I finally got the black Arabian but was witnessed stealing it and barely got out of there alive. So right now I'm wanted in Saint Deni. I think I could have done a better job of it if I'd just waited until the shooting started but I found the horse just standing alone near that overpass. I set up camp somewhere out in boonies and had a couple of inbreds walk up on me and let me know I was trespassing in their territory and to move on. By the way I think the reason I wasn't finding the horse in my other attempts was because I was not going late enough. It was around 1.30 a.m when I came across the horse. So thanks for the help, however I have another problem now that might be associated with stealing that horse. My Save function is locked so I can't turn my computer off otherwise I will lose everything up until my last save. I turned my Auto Save feature off before I started this mission and have just manual saving without any problems until now. So it's back to the drawing board to find out what went wrong.

I brought some horse revive shot it with an arrow it went down. I revived it and jumped on it right away and tamed it worked for me

If you wait about 15 seconds after the gun shot, the local crowd will usually leave.

And be sure to put on your mask.

Then hop on the horse and immediately go down a side street away from the people that were standing around.

Lassoing and breaking a new horse is a lot of fun. You don't have to chase them, like some sites recommend, just get the lasso on them and Never Release the Right Mouse Button.

Once they are lassoed, release you movement keys, and you should auto-dismount (or tap E to dismount), then use the movement keys to move towards the horse (W-A-D as needed). Once close enough, Tap E to mount then simply hang on and Tap G until the horse stops bucking.

You might want to chase the horse into an open area before lassoing, because objects (like trees) can interfere with lasso. And try to be close to the horse before you lasso, because your Stamina pool will drop from after you lasso until you mount the new horse (so, the closer you are, the faster this can be done).

But the biggest break through for me was Don't Release the RMB. Luck.

P.S. Oh, and the Save function locks when you are in a mission or being chased (or when you just started moving around & maybe auto-save is busy) - it will unlock eventually - just wait about 15 seconds.

All is well that ends well, I paid off my bounty and lock on may manual save went away.
Thanks for the tip on the lasso, I manage to get it around their necks but as soon as I get off my horse the rope comes off. I guess I wasn't holding on to the right mouse button, will give it another try. Any good tips for getting a panther pelt. I've been looking East of Lagras in the wooded wetlands . Man that's a creepy place to be wandering around as it's getting dark, I was attacked by 3 swamp creatures, no shirts, no shoes, faces all painted they never made a sound just came at me with knives and dragged me off my horse. I managed to shoot them all but got out of there fast. I'm going to try the other place, hope that's better but I don't have much hope that I'm going to see a panther let alone shoot one. I'm using the scent to cover my stink.
