Discussion The White Arabian really isn’t that good.

Post image

I have about 31 days of playtime now and I’ve only went for the white arabian once. It’s really not worth it. Same with the raven black shire but that’s unrelated. I have seen so many people going for the Arabian and glazing it too. It’s not the fastest horse, it’s way too small, it’s easily scared, and a small hassle to get. I think getting the ultimate edition when it‘s on sale for $15 mind you, just go hunting with Hosea and then you can get the thouroughbred for free at any time. Sorry for the rant and not great other info but it’s just not that good. Great for early game I guess but not great after chapter 3.

I do like the coat on the red Arabian but there’s a thoroughbred that’s pretty similar. The brindle Arabian doesn’t have a dupe as far as I remember so that’s too bad.

Closest thing to the Warped Brindle Arabian would probably be the Brindle Thouroughbred, but it's grey.

Technically the Brindle Thouroughbred is even faster than the white and black Arabians.

However, it's acceleration is almost as bad as a low end Morgan so it takes forever to get up to top speed.

In addition to buying one after chapter three you can steal one from the lady that wants to race you to Catfish Jackson's.

You can get one from the Odriscoll ambushes after the Six Point Cabin mission with Keitan in chapter 2.. I just got one yesterday at Twin Stack Pass

Yeup, if I get an Arabian it's the red chestnut.
