Take Good Care of Your Horse

So, after you’ve gotten a good sense of what to do around camp in Red Dead Redemption 2, you’ll want to turn your attention to your horse. Because there’s no easy method of fast travel in the game, you’re going to be spending a lot of time with your horse.

You can reach up to bond level 4 with your horse. Each level increases the horse’s health and stamina bars, which are important for getting around quickly, and running away from dicey situations.

You can increase the level quickly by patting the horse, feeding it, and brushing it when it gets dirty.

At the same time, don’t get too attached to your starter horse. The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is huge, and full of other potential horses that you can take under your wing.

Whenever you see wild horses, examine them to check their stats. If their potential stat growth surpasses that of your current horse’s, it might be worth to grab that one instead, and start increasing your bond with it. Well-bred horses can also be bought from stables, though these are going to cost you a bit of money.

Lastly, don’t forget to carry a few Horse Revivers with you at all times. If your horse gets hit by a train or something (it happens), you’ll have a few seconds to quickly revive it, or it’ll die, forcing you to remove the saddle and put it on another horse.
