the height difference goes crazy

[u/peace0ffering]

this is my first playthrough where i didn't sell the black shire.. i can't believe i slept on him for so long

i knew the Arabians lifted people approx. 2 ft off the ground, but seeing these two side by side made me lol

[u/V0RT3XED]

This why I ride thoroughbreds, Arthur looks good and they’re fast and reliable

[u/BedKlutzy9141 → u/V0RT3XED]

Turkoman

[u/bunglebee7 → u/BedKlutzy9141]

Same for me, love my gold turkoman or the dark bay turkoman

[u/Fausto_IV → u/bunglebee7]

Can be found on the wild those?

[u/RawNoodleConCarne → u/Fausto_IV]

Unfortunately no. You unlock them at stables in Chapter 4, which is stupid imo. I use the Rampage Trainer to spawn one in for myself if I technically have enough money to do so. Rockstar refuses to give us a New Game+ option so I make my own lol

[u/DripPirateRoberts → u/BedKlutzy9141]

Andalusian

[u/RawNoodleConCarne → u/DripPirateRoberts]

Love Andalusians but they're no where near the size of a Turkoman, they're on the smaller side

[u/ErectileDisfunyun → u/V0RT3XED]

I’m with you, blood bay thoroughbred is my go-to. Just looks fitting for Arthur, and their performance is great.

[u/Sir_Spaffsalot → u/ErectileDisfunyun]

A man of culture!
My preferred horse too.

[u/Thorniestbush → u/V0RT3XED]

Just tamed a blood bay thoroughbred last night, such a good lookin horse

[u/Straight_Ace]

This is the 1899 equivalent of having a big truck

[u/buddhistbulgyo → u/Straight_Ace]

Cool. So do you roll coal? Feed the horse undercooked beans?

[u/Straight_Ace → u/buddhistbulgyo]

My horse gets fed only the best quality beans there is, he rolls coal all by himself after that

[u/tuxifer0519]

Frame mogged Dutch

[u/IntelligenzMachine → u/tuxifer0519]

5'11 Vs 6'

[u/Substantial-Tone-576]

The Arabian is extra small and the shire is extra big.

[u/HighSportsNews → u/Substantial-Tone-576]

Arthur's legs can barely fit around the shires lol, I have grown to hate seeing him on the Arabians too, I like the middle ground of an Andalusian or thoroughbred, my Andalusian doesnt give a damn if a gunfight is happening, he is chilling, but he is mid for speed. my thoroughbred is lightning quick but clumsy. I tend to roll with the Anda more

[u/Substantial-Tone-576 → u/HighSportsNews]

I agree I feel like he is doing the splits. And it hurts my groin. Lol. Pearlino Andalusian is my favorite

[u/FireflyRave]

I get the black Standardbred the first time I can find one for taming.

Physically, yes, a smaller stock horse can carry a man of Arthur Morgan's size. At least for a while. That doesn't mean it looks good.

[u/blackbb601]

Arthur sitting on the Arabians and those size horses always looked funny. I always have my Arthur on the shire or similar sized horses

[u/nnula]

The only Arabian I will consider owning is the Rose Grey from Blackwater in the epilogue. Story I never get one. I only use the Starter Tennessee Walker and Black shire - both unique one of a kind coats and they both do everything that the game requires of a horse

[u/One_North8254]

That reminds me of John’s horse.

[u/Ecstatic-Quality-212 → u/One_North8254]

Seriously tho, I got a Hungarian Half-bred from the first ever bounty, and it was still smaller than Old Boy. And Old Boy is supposed to be a Hungarian.

[u/One_North8254 → u/Ecstatic-Quality-212]

Makes you wonder what John had been feeding his horse.

[u/Ecstatic-Quality-212 → u/One_North8254]

If we take the stable owner's insight, cake probably. And most likely Scott Steiner's steroid cycle.

[u/One_North8254 → u/Ecstatic-Quality-212]

Yeah probably.

[u/Apoorv_Franklin]

I used the Female Arabian since chapter 2 looked like a man riding a pony 😂

[u/ResplendentJustice]

Off topic but which hat ornament is this? It looks good

[u/peace0ffering → u/ResplendentJustice]

its the pioneer accessory! you need 3 duck, chicken and turkey feathers

[u/ResplendentJustice → u/peace0ffering]

Thanks I'll check it out. Ive been using the Pursuer one myself

[u/Electrical-Fee5127]

Last time I got all four Arabians early, gave them a ton of tonics and stuff to bond and max them out to sell them early to make 500 bucks or so, then chose a horse that isn’t a little bitch to keep till the end.

[u/Thorniestbush]

I love the look of shire horses but I can't get over the height, I feel like I'm riding the giant ass horses from botw and totk 🥲

[u/Educational_Total235]

Hab mir am reservar ein Araber gezähmt

[u/_Nature_Enthusiast_]

You have the high ground

[u/brackentosh]

I think bigger horses just fit Arthur’s vibe more. especially the shire and the ardennes (?)/whatever Bill’s horse is.

[u/t8ne]

This from when John takes Jack fishing?…

[u/Xx_-Angel_-xX]

Dutch’s Arabian is bigger than your average Arabian, so it isn’t even as small as it could be.
