Harrowing Horse Encounter Takes a Deadly Turn in Red Dead Redemption 2

A player in Red Dead Redemption 2 had a pleasant surprise when they came across a specific breed of horse in the game. However, their encounter took a turn for the worse and ended in disappointment. Random accidents can happen to anyone, but for this particular player, it was a letdown.

In line with the typical theme of a western video game, horses play a significant role in Red Dead Redemption 2. While it is possible to use fast travel in the game, a large portion of the gameplay involves traveling on horseback. The choice of horse breed can greatly impact a player's speed and safety as they navigate the game world, as long as they can successfully acquire and tame the horse. Purchasing a horse may not be too challenging, but taming one is a different story.

Red Dead Redemption 2 player OldTurtleChilli shared their encounter with a Kentucky Saddler in the game on the game's subreddit. Arthur Morgan swiftly lassoes the horse and cautiously approaches, despite the horse's initial resistance. Hoping to tame it, Arthur manages to mount the horse, but their efforts are cut short when the horse veers towards a nearby cliff. With quick reflexes, Arthur barely escapes before the horse plunges to its demise.

The video concludes with OldTurtleChilli looking down at the lifeless horse at the bottom of the cliff, leaving both them and fellow fans saddened by the loss. Some players jest that the horse would rather die than be tamed, while others criticize OldTurtleChilli for their actions leading to the horse's unfortunate fate. Observing that Kentucky Saddlers are not considered a top-tier horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2, some express surprise at the player's enthusiasm upon encountering one. Though OldTurtleChilli should have no trouble finding another Kentucky Saddler, it remains disheartening to witness a horse meet its end due to an accident like this.

In Red Dead Redemption 2, players have various options to acquire a horse without having to take any risks in attempting to tame one. One option is to purchase a horse, while another possibility is to earn one as a reward for completing quests. However, some players may opt to capture their own horse instead of spending in-game currency. For those who choose this approach, it is crucial to exercise caution and carefully assess their surroundings before attempting to steer or tame a wild horse. Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
