Summary

Red Dead Redemption 2is loaded with unique horses spread across a variety of different breeds butevery so often, something goes wrong, and an unnatural stallion is set loose upon the Old West. While Arthur Morgan is roaming across the world, picking up bounties and committing crimes, he’ll likely go through several different horses given that the life expectancy of a steed in a bandit gang isn’t too long. Some mounts are built better than others, but very few are able to boast about the ability to transform their color and breed.

Yet this is just what happened according to Reddit userThese-Note-4687, who sharedan image of their horse after it seemingly spontaneously turned blue and allegedly changed breeds; It’s supposed to be a Breton but the creature in the picture is decidedly different.

Despite requesting assistance on how to fix what is widely assumed to be a glitch,the community is largely divided on what could have caused such a strange occurrence. In light of the confusion, many have responded by stating that it looks like a creature pulled straight out of James Cameron’sAvatar.

All 19 Red Dead Redemption 2 Horses, Ranked From Worst To Best

Each horse in RDR2 has pros and cons, and so Arthur must take care to choose wisely. Here’s a breakdown of all 19 horse breeds and how they perform.

Modding Is Always A Risky Hobby

Who Knows What Bugs Could Be Created?

The leading theory regarding the creation of the blue horse is that it’s a product of modsthat have either broken or stopped working entirely. It’s possible that the user managed to install clashing add-ons or even too many mods in general, resulting inRed Dead Redemption 2failing to process the correct files. This could ultimately result in some strange bugs but it’s still unknown what mods would need to be installed to both change the horse’s color and seemingly make its switch breeds in such a spontaneous fashion.

Another piece of evidence supporting the theory thatmods played a role in the horse discoloration is the fact that Arthur is wearing a scarfin the screenshot. The lengthy piece of neckwear isn’t available in the vanilla game, so it’s highly likely that the user has some fun add-ons installed. In any case, while it may not be all that immersive,a cowboy riding across the land on a blue horsewould certainly give people quite a memory.

Red Dead Redemption 2remains a healthy and flourishing game in no small part due to the community that’sstill creating impressive mods for the game to this day.One of the most popular is a feature that allows users to swap out the colors of a horsewith just a quick sort through the options, but generally speaking, blue isn’t one of the common shades available. Perhaps installing such an add-on could be the solution required to make the Stallion fit in withRockstar’s vision of the Wild West.
