Best horses bought or found?

[Jyggalad]

Are the best horses found in the wild or are they bought? Or is it about even?

In Story Mode there's an Arabian White Horse, really good stats for the start of the game. The hard part is actually trying to get the feller. You can find this special horse on the northwestern side of Lake Isabella in Grizzlies West. Sneak up against him REALLY WELL. (Playing with a controller is preferred to tame this monster.) But as you progress through the story, There's a better horse in Saint Denis in around Chapter Four I think-- which is better than the White Arabian Horse you find in The Grizzlies. Prepare to have 1000+ Dollars saved though. Hope this helps :)

White Arabian for sure.

If you want a brown and white Arabian horse there is one west of the Wapiti Reservation. (Literally right next to it). Has a unique pattern on him. But be careful trying to tame him he is in a rocky area. There is also an Arabian far south west with almost a red solid coat:)

I buy elite horse when available and use it long enough to build all the stats. Never had luck catching wild ones, never found the ones mentioned. I have two now, because the better your horse, even in single player, the more npc's try to take it from you. I had too many get killed from an ambush

Out of the top horses, the answer is "both found and bought".

There are 3 Arabians available to take (or steal) - they have very good stats, but their agility makes them feel very agitated - and they are the smallest horses (just add rainbows...).

The other few favorites are normally bought. These include the Turkoman, Missouri Fox Trotter (Silver Dapple Pinto), and Ardennes or Andalusian. The differences being Health or Stamina focused, and the player's lack of interest in Arabians.

BTW, you can easily play through the entire Story with the first horse you are gifted.
Horse stats are really not important (in Story mode) once you get nice horse gear.
