The Shocking Horse Encounter That Red Dead Redemption 2 Players Can't Unsee

Highlights

Red Dead Redemption 2 emphasizes the importance of caring for and bonding with your horse, as it can affect gameplay and relationships with characters.

The player's horse in the game went to great extents by urinating directly in front of the player's face, creating a repulsive yet memorable incident. Despite some users finding the video clip amusing, others were disgusted by the horse's behavior, emphasizing the different reactions among players.

Exploring the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 can leave players quite gritty, but one particular player had an incredibly revolting experience when their horse took things to a whole new level while they were passing the time in one of the game's towns. Rockstar has made a point of emphasizing Arthur Morgan's cleanliness, just like in real life, as it can affect his relationships with other characters and his physical performance. However, in this case, the horse goes beyond any expectations and treats its owner to a repulsive spectacle, leaving the player helpless to do anything but watch.

When Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in October 2018, Rockstar showcased the horse mechanics as one of the game's standout features. The intention was for players to genuinely care about their horses and develop a bond with them, rather than just considering them as a means of traveling faster through the Wild West setting. As a result, players were encouraged to take care of their horses, shield them from danger, and nurture relationships that would yield benefits such as increased stamina or the ability to carry more goods.

One player's horse, however, took a rather personal approach with its owner by relieving itself right in front of the player's face. This incident, captured in a video clip, is possibly one of the most revolting moments ever recorded in the game. The unfortunate player in question is Reddit user ashleighschamp, who witnessed their horse nonchalantly walking in front of their character before defecating at eye level. This unexpected interaction occurred in the settlement of Valentine, conveniently situated near a saloon where Ashleigh could clean up afterward.

The video elicited various reactions from fellow users. Some were equally disgusted by the horse's actions, while others found the whole incident amusing. Those in the latter group commonly joked about the bond between the player and their horse, either suggesting that the horse was overly comfortable with its owner or speculating that there was no bond at all. Some users also expressed curiosity about the specific breed of horse in the game, although their reasons for wanting this information were not disclosed.

While some may find the clip repulsive, it offers a refreshing change from the numerous clips that portray players facing difficulties with their horses. Often, these clips depict instances of physical harm inflicted upon the horses, such as when an irresponsibile owner charges headlong into a gunfight or when Morgan unsuccessfully attempts to tame untamed horses. However, the positive aspect in this particular situation is that the player is able to clean up after the horse's mess, even though it may take some time to forget the image of the horse relieving itself.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
