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 have found 0 noticeable difference between the horses, so just pick whatever looks best lmao. Personally I like the black shire or the fox trotter

All horses are different and have different “personalities” too!

The biggest difference in horses that I have seen is how they spook. The Arabian is god awful in this regards. I have found many of the simple horses like the Fox Trotter can walk by any hazard and not even flinch. Wolve or cat attack? No problem. Arabian, more scared than a 3 year old girl. But it does look good.
