I took a horse from a whiped out bandit camp.

The only way to get a new horse is to buy one.

As Scrog pointed out, Henry can only "own" (and share inventory with) a horse that he purchases at a Stable, or a horse is given to him as some reward

The Horses in the bandit camps are like any other "stolen" horse, Henry can never "own" a stolen horse, and the game will generally respawn the horse at the point it was stolen from, causing it to disappear from Henry's side

However, we have had some luck making extra saves that seem to keep the stolen horse with Henry

Basically, for example, reloading a save made while riding the horse, will contain the horse, and the horse will never vanish while you are riding it

Creating saves whil riding the horse seems to tend to keep it around, but i've still had it vanish a few times, so i started making saves once i got off the horse, but while keeping the horse in line-of-sight (so the game knows to load the horse with the save)

it's tedious, and Neuhof stables has a horse for under 1000 gr that you can "own"

so, now i use a stolen horse to ride to Neuhof (or just run there) - no saddle required to "interact with Horse inventory", btw, although i do now keep the saddle from the horse i rode to Talmberg from Skalitz (i kept the saddle in my horse pocket)

Whiped out?

If you like a horse at the start of the game, walk to Neuhoff. There is one parked at a house and you can take it without theft issues. Ride around but don't go into towns, when you mount the horse you're always stealing it. Leave it outside of town, and you can continue using it. Just make sure nobody can see you mount it. Makes traveling a bit faster if you want to explore before joining the guards in Rattay. You can leave it at the mill once you get the other horse. Same with the horse from Ulrich and build up a nice collection.
