Great speculation. I have given some though to what breed Boadicea is and my first thought was an Adilusian followed by Turkmen Mustang and Throughbred.
Given what you put forth and keeping with what is in the game I still think the Adilusian is a strong contender but I'm going to say Dutch warm blood, Turkmen then Throughbred.
I think Arthur is practical and would favour function over speed alone and most likely had a breed the others did not unless it was the same as Hosea given the relationship with them. I also suspect he would not have had a horse as showy as an Arabian which I feel the Andalusian is.
On another note I have to agree even fresh out of the stable the Ardennes is amazingly brave. I pulled one out of Saint Denis that I had gotten but not ridden yet. Right out of the stable an NPC walked into us and started shooting... que endless cops. I got swamped and ran into the swamps during a high time of aligators. The chase lasted for several minutes with bullets flying and gators chomping.
The Ardenns did not throw me once.
Same horse take 2 in Saint Denis. Still level 1. Just paid the bounty and went to the trapper. I ran into some one on the way out. The level 1 bond horse STILL came to me with bullets flying and cops everywhere and we lot the cops in the swamps again. Without getting bucked.
I love the bravery of the Ardennes. They and the Adilusian are my personal favorites along with the grulo Mustang.
Keep up the great work :)
Subbing for your next great discussion
hi lisa, thanks for the sub, i appreciate it:) you have great taste in horses, the grullo is also a favorite of mine. so glad you found this channel!
Same with turkoman brave doesn't even flinch in a shootout but i noticed if u haven't riden and or remove the sadle for a long time especially after guarma they act differently..
I've had problems with the ardennes, it threw me with the rescuing micah mission, the Dutch Warmblood however has been good to me, I personally did my first playthrough with the Arabians, and I'll never use one for story mode again, I do however have a red Arabian online that has treated me well, I'm only using it until I get the moonshiner horse.
Well the 3 best horse breeds in the game are Arabians, Turkomans and Thoroughbreds. Dutch has an Arabian, Hosea a Turkoman so it only makes sense imo that Arthur would have a Thoroughbred considering he is one of the original 3 members of Dutch's gang
@@gioc2512 True. A very good point and i have considered this however; all main top gang member horses have a good health stat which is the TBs weakest atribute. I like the Through bread for Aurthur but, I think given the namesake for one Bodacia would have been a healthy horse and likely a warhorse or war horse hybrid.
Also remember Buell? His stats are above all other warm bloods.
Like Charles paint is stronger than any other paint maybe Arthur's horse had higher stats. Also my theory was not as much about stats as the link/ representation of the associated rider. I see Aurthur as more cool headed than a race type.
Fun fact: There are many versions of Boadicea's story but in one version, her husband's name was Tacitus. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!!
oh wow, that's cool. nicely done and thanks for watching, friend!
Tacitus Kilgore
😂😂😂😂😂 I didn’t know that that’s really cool of rockstar to do
I think Arthur's horse Boadicea might have actually been a Silver Dapple Pinto, only reason for this is because it is the only horse in the game that he identifies by the breed (During one of the photographer missions). This leads me to believe that he had knowledge of the breed prior to the events of RDR2
a great point that i should have mentioned (i even have the footage) thanks for watching, friend!
Silver dapple pinto is a colour, not a breed. He's been around enough horses that he knows a rare colour.
Good speculation, but as a horse person I ought to let you know that “silver dapple Pinto” was the horse’s color, not its breed. I tried to hunt this horse down to tame it after that cutscene but never could find it, unfortunately. So I don’t know what breed it was.
@@Lee-hp1wg Its a Missouri foxtrotter. You can get it after the epilogue. Personally, I think Boadicea would've been an andalusian. Its good in battle, and is a showy, pretty horse so that would explain the origin of the name. Its not a super showy horse like an Arabian or Missouri foxtrotter, but its not bulky and gruff like a shire or Ardennes. Just fits Arthur, too, imo
@@stanlytherobot4933 You can get that Missouri Fox Trotter early as hell in the game, using a glitch
I always imagined that she was a silver dapple pinto Missouri fox trotter. it's the only breed Arthur recognises by name (and was pretty impressed by it)
Wdym recognises by name? Like you didnt have study the horse first?
@@uhhhidk8300 it was in a cutscene, he says "that over there is a silver dapple pinto" in one of the stranger missions
a great point that i should have mentioned, (i even have the footage) thanks for watching, friend!
DauntingKitty oooh ok ty
@@Liliganttt one of Albert Mason's
Next to Arthur's bed at camp (where he keeps his dog's photograph) there's a big horseshoe nailed to the wagon. It might be one of Boadicea and if that the case she would have been quite a big horse regarding the size of this thing.
that's an interesting clue, i know that horseshoe i just assumed it was decorative. thanks for watching, friend!
@@superantonio you're welcome! Your video is really good and full of interesting details 👍.
@Keknov that's the breed of John's too right? Because that may make since they are more brothers than him and Micah.
It makes sense that Arthur would ride one of the taller horses given what a big guy he is. I’ve always thought she was probably a war horse because I imagine Arthur would prefer something that doesn’t spook over something that’s fast? All I know for sure is that Arthur loved her so I’m sad he doesn’t get to see her again.
Maybe he does....in heaven?
haha you win comment of the week, friend:)
i'm leaning towards the andalusian or a thoroughbred, great to see you in the comments, friend!
When you get the choice to buy a horse at chapter two with hosea Arthur will ask the seller that he needs a strong horse but also fast I think
@@Pink-zn9eb you're right, "strong and fast" thanks for watching, friend!
I’ve always imagined Boadicea as a piebald tobiano Hungarian Halfbred. It’s not a horse you can buy and you can only steal it from NPC camps or bounty hunters, making it pretty rare. Plus, the coloring, size, and breed matches perfectly. I think it’s a good fit for Arthur’s beloved Boadicea. 😄
hi lauren i like the HHs esp the piebald, thanks for watching!
Speaking of a piebald tobiano, you can get her for free after leaving Guarma. The horse is beautiful.
@@erdndi the one you take in Van Horn?
@@ClaytonTheCracker Yes, indeed
I believe it’s a Missouri Fox Trotter, maybe like a black one. A one we can’t get.
a black MFT sounds about right, thanks for watching, julia!
Micah's horse is a Black MFT
karsten vince micah always tries to copy Arthur and take his place so it makes sense
@@keknov5555 yeah true
In my playthrough Arthur's new mount is Taliesin, taking cue from Boadicea and sticking to a Celtic theme when naming his horse.
i like that idea, and taleisin is a great name, thanks for watching, friend!
Many valid points in your speculation here but if I had to guess one particular breed my speculation would be the dark bay Andalusian. Being a war horse she would've perfectly befitted the memory of a warrior queen and her coat matches well with Arthur's personality at the start of the game. Also because of just how rare Andalusians are in the game in general.
hi gerald, great points about the andalusian, that dark bay certainly has the height & bravery.
My favourite horse is the gold turkoman, pick him up at the Saint Denis stable in chapter 4
Plague, Yes and brave
Kj no, imho Ardennes and adulusians are superior; speed does not matter, the difference is seconds when travelling across the map, and these 2 horses (especially the Perlino Andalusian (which is free btw)) have berry similar health and acceleration. Plus, the Turkoman seems like a scared child when compared to these horses.
Me to I love it
Nah the coats wierd
@@willotter4503 I felt that way until I used a Shire.
The Raven Black Shire is optional so that you can continue Arthur's 'habit' of naming things with Roman influence.
Just as his last horse was named for a historical figure, the Black Shire is specifically for the same thing.
The Horse is described as Strong, but also Mean, Bad Tempered, and Will Throw You... It is also huge, black, and has a white blaze- These are all traits known of Alexander the Great's horse, 'Bucephalus'.
Does anyone think about the first ever trailer at the end when they are all riding away from black water THATS BOADICEA
could u send the link to the trailer?
Are you talking about the trailer where they're riding hard past the camera and into the heartlands with the grizzlies in the background? That horse looks to be a Blanket Appaloosa.
@@therealchickentender yeah thanks
Link?
@@Mason_Malakai_Leroux it’s trailer 1 for rdr2
I thought Boadicea would be sandy beige with a darker mane similar to the Striped Mustang. It's also a good size for Arthur and more practical for a outlaw.
very practical, i like those tiger mustangs, thanks for watching, friend!
Damn, thanks for the background on the name. I had no idea and I appreciate it.
great to see you at the premiere, friend!
I feel similarly. I’ve always imagined Boadicea being a darker colour, a black colouring or darker brown tones. Not sure how far he’d go with patterns, since he probably wouldn’t prefer anything too flashy, but I don’t think he’d particularly mind it either. Definitely not a stout horse nor one that spooks easy, so an Ardennes, Andalusian, or Turkoman is probably a good bet. Ardennes and Andalusian for the reasons in your video, obviously. The Turkoman because they’re pretty good at standing their ground when you first buy them, they fit Arthur’s stature well, and they’re a good fit for getting out of tough situations since they’re so lean and can slip through trees easier than a thicker horse. Over all, I appreciate how you handled this topic, since most other CZcamsrs who theorize and speculate about Boadicea almost always go willy nilly with their own opinions and often don’t use any real reason, whereas you went with what made the most sense both from a practical point and a more story-based point of view.
hi sophie i do like that dark bay turk and i'm so glad you found this channel:) thanks for watching!
tuekomans arent brave at all.
Turns out Boadicea is a Hungarian Halfbred liver chestnut coat.
Its an unusable file that modders found in the game.
Arthur horse would be silver dapple because in game hint there is missions of dead horse, albert mission both of there horse is MFT silver dapple pinto also in epilogue we get this breed from blackwater stable where his horse was dead so i'm pretty sure this is it...
Great points. If I had to bet on it would probably be the special edition thoroughbred. Hosea has a Turk and is the eldest. Dutch has an Arabian which is a descendant of the Turk and so is the Thoroughbred. It’s also a one of a kind horse and a unique breed like the other gang horses. It looks right for Arthur. Stats are disappointing though.
I read another theory that it could be the tiger striped Mustang since it’s only found in the west like the other gang horses in the tumbleweed stable. It’s unique brave loyal and wild just like Arthur.
Strong points you made in the video and well done. One could speculate it’s a horse from the strawberry stable since it is in between blackwater and colter. Where he most likely lost Boadicea. It’s peculiar the dark bay Andalusian is the only horse available there. It’s a war horse that fits the name and definitely fits Arthur. Also no other gang member has that breed. Including thoroughbred mustang and DWB. Lots of food for thought.
Lg 925 I think, Lenny’s horse was a mustang, so yeah the theory about Arthur’s having a horse nobody in the gang has is more appealing than going for a war horse breed. So we are basically left with, DWB, thoroughbred and Andalusian.
@@k3lo903 lenny has a Morgan. His horse doesn't have the stripe on the back. So defenitly not a mustang.
K3LO no one has a nokota either. But I doubt Arthur would ride that.
@@Lg-kb7ob Karen's horse the smoky black one is a Nakota
John's horse is a thoroughbred in the epilogue
Arthur be naming his horse smartly and with respect. Meanwhile my dumb ass named the female white Arabian, Riley Reid because she's small.
Jesus 🤣
Damn you also simping on the horse?
It was probably the tiger striped bay. Well we know that the ran from the plains so I guess bodicea ran to new Austin Arthur probably lost her
Due to Boedicea being a warrior woman with amazing red hair, I'm imagining a war horse with a striking red coat.
could be the andalusian, like you speculated, but i was rather thinking along the lines of the strawberry roan ardennes! Which is also only avaliable in the epilogue.
the red hair is a good point, thanks for watching, friend!
The Dark Bay Andalusian tends to have a red shine in certain situations and when it is wet.This is the horse I have for Arthur right now in my 3rd run-through and when I first layed eyes on it in the strawberry stable I bought her right away knowing nothing about it and and I believe it was the only option but I would have purchased her anyway in my stable I have the silver dapple pinto Missouri Fox trotter thank you to a glitch but don't really care for her very much seems small to me, the Hungarian half-breed dapple dark gray is the only male horse I have in my stable, I am also fond of the thoroughbreds I happen to come across one by luck riding around on the Shire Hosea gave us she is the Blood Bay and a great horse but neither of them compare to the Andalusian just the way she handles seems natural like Arthur even seems to act a little different. I came across this video while playing and just happened to be near the strawberry stable so I went there changed her name to Boadicea and the stable owners reaction was one I've not seen so very interesting.
@@zerocool3170 i use the dark bay andalusian as my hunting horse, she's indeed very beautiful and apears like a shiny bodeaux red in the light! I use the black shire as my main, but since apparently that horse reminded Hosea of Boedicea, i'd think the horse would be one of similiar statue. That's kinda why i think strawberry roan would be a big contender along with all the other stuff.
Yes, was going to ask why the speculation was all about dark coats when Boadicea was famously red-headed. :)
Also i think it has to be British bred
this might be a year to late, but i think that Boadicea could've been the black, or red chestnut turkoman from Red Dead online. The reason why i think one of these horses is Boadicea is because in his journal he had the little blackwater saloon sketch with a fully black horse, and the black coat turkoman from Online is pretty much all black (i believe it does have a little white spot on the snout tho), and really does fit in with the sturdiness that arthur in my eyes would've looked for. As for the red chestnut coat the only thought for why it could've been Arthur's horse is because of the warrioress you've mentioned numerous times whose name was Boadicea, and i believe you've also mentioned she had red hair, and so in that case maybe the name insparation came for him because of the boldness of the turkoman and because of similar hair. In my mind it makes sense for Arthur's pre-game horse to be unavailable to us, and that's why i storngly believe that one of those turkomans from Red Dead online is in fact, Boadicea.
Arthur probably had one of the horses in online coz online was set before story so he probably had online horse.
3:50 THATS MY BOY SKIPP!!!!
Loved the idea. In my opinion I was thinking the foxtrotter was the breed of Boadicea, as it was the only horse Arthur could name. May I ask that you look into a horse? During the story mission where Arthur visits Mary at Valentine, during the cutscene there's a golden-brown horse in the background at the hitching post. I've never known what breed it was, as it didn't look like any coats of any horses in rdr2, and unfortunately you cant see that particular horse before nor after the cutscene.
i know exactly the horse you are talking about, but i've never paid attention to him. i will investigate. thanks for watching, friend!
Yeah that horse also appears in the trailer, it looks like a mustang.
i feel like his boudacea would've been an andulusian. idk why i just feel like that horse would've fit the description best, also he would probably have a special type of coat for his horse just like most of the gang
True
I got Arthur a Fox Trotter and named her Boadicea. Also got him a Mustang and a Thoroughbred.
that is a fine stable george, thanks for watching!
how did you get the fox trotter
I got her at Moonstone Pond using a glitch, after 5 or 6 tries. Just have patience, because you may find her dead or for her not be there at all.
@@georgetown6065 ah I see. I'll try thank you!
Alessia I’m not sure if the moonstone pond exploit was patched or not. If you can wait until chapter 4, there is an Amber Champagne fox trotter at the Scarlett Meadows Stable. She costs $950, but if you have high honor you can get up to 50% off. Easily the best purchase I made in the game.
6:34 you can also get him in the mission “horse flesh for dinner” if you feed him until he shows up as a temporary horse for arthur
Wait that still works?
@@Blumkerzoink shit i was looking forward to try it out
@@TheGkriz they didnt it was just a glitch on my part
Ur point about Arthur starting with a dark warmblood and ending up with a light one at the end really convinced me, unfortunately thats mostly because of how cool it sounds.
I think she was a dark bay turkoman. as a young Arthur would want something strong and fast. He would likely see that Hosea’s silver turkoman perfectly fitted that description he would likely get a Dark bay turkoman, as gold would be to flashy
I think Boadicea is the horse that Arthur rode in the Official 2nd Trailer of rdr2.
ive gotten the iron gray ardennes on both my playthrough bc for some reason that horse just sticks with me
Baylock is actually the dark horse you could get in the first game. You obtained the horse by having very low honor and I think by Micah having the horse it was a warning on his true intentions and how dishonorable Micah actually is. Because micah actually Dishonored the gang when he told the pinkertons where they were etc
hi elise, excellent point about baylock and how dark micah is, thanks for watching!
Elise Wainwright great historical point!
i know you only do horses that are in the game but there is some speculation that the unusued Liver Chestnut Hungarian Halfbred is Boadicea considering they have the best stats in the game
In the chapter 3 mission “horse flesh for dinner” you can get the dark bay turkoman by feeding it until you are level 1 bonded then finish the mission and go back to Clemens cove and collect it
got a video on that:) czcams.com/video/yt-B_3SYf20/video.html
You get the reverse dapple black thoroughbred if you order the special edition.
I think a blood bay thoroughbred makes for a great Boadicea.
I had an absolutely lovely Tennessee Walker. Called her Betty. Lost her to Bounty Hunters. Broke my heart
I think his horse was a Silver Dapple Pinto NOT ONLY because he identifies it by name but also because the small sketch we see of his horse in his journal kind of lines up with the pattern of the Silver Dapple Pinto.
My notion is that Boadicea was an Andalusian. To me it just fits her namesake, a brave war horse named after a warrior queen. For me, it checks off all the prerequisites of a breed that shares traits with Arthur. The Andalusian is known for its bravery, intelligence, and loyalty. Arthur himself shares the name of the most famous of all kings and what better horse for him to ride than a breed that was once ridden only by royals and is known for it’s lineage and nobility.
very well thought out & presented, so glad you saw this friend!
Ardennes. Red coat, brave, and big
The idea of the dimple Fox Trotter being Bodicea and not being able to get here until the epilogue. I'm not sure if Arthur ever specifically said she died. In Armadillo you can buy the horses of the dead gang members, the possible lore reason being Javier/Bill sold them to the stable when making their escape to their respective hideouts. With all this in mind, I think it is possible that Bodicea was gunned down, nursed back to health, then held by the stable only to be possibly bought by John at the end of the game. Not sure if that ones a dude though
I think they didn't explain Boadicea's looks for a reason, they probably want us to think of a horse the player would think of as majestic and strong. I definetly don't think they were thinking of a specific horse in the game as they made that scene. It's still fun to speculate though! In my mind it's an Ardennes or mustang. They're both brave and good in gunfights. I also prefer Arthur on the bigger and "thicker" horses if that makes any sence.
I also think arthur would prefer the health, stamina and braveness over speed and acceleration, but that might also just be because of my playstyle.
My last playthrough, I bought the Chocolate Roan Dutch Warmblood on the mission with Hosea and named her Athena. I used her for most of Chapter 2, but before Chapter 3, I just had to go back and saddle up the Mahogany Bay Tennesse Walker...that horse will always be special to me. I named him Caesar
That one black and white Hungarian Halfbread you get after returning from Guarma in chapter 5 I named that Boadicea 2. Because I believe the game gives that horse because you are nearing Arthur’s end and in that mission he reflects on things like in that final ride.
hi carter, that HH would be a great horse for that final ride, but i don't know if i could handle arthur saying thank you:)
I used the dark bay Andalusian the moment it was unlocked for Arthur, and used him until I finished the story as arthur :,)
I really like the thourgobread theory because the game give you 3 free ones Rachel the reverse dappled and the one in online they could be hinting that boadicea was a thouroghbreadr
I think boadacea was an Andalusian personally. No one else at camp has one and it fits with how every gang member has their own breed excepting Sadie and Hosea. While not as tall Andalusian are still well built for their size and always get the job done. Either that or the dark bay turkoman it fits the idea of Arthur’s rank within the gang and also his closeness with Hosea picking the same breed but a darker coat.
i do like that dark bay turk, great to see you in the comments, friend!
Here’s a list of the gangs horses Dutch: Unique Arabian. Hosea: Silver Turk. Arthur: (whatever you choose). John : Dark brown Hungarian. Micah: black Missouri Fox trot. Bill: brown Ardennes. Javier: grey and white 🇺🇸paint. Charles: spotted apollosa. Sadie: gold Turk. Lenny: light bay Missouri Fox trot. Sean: silver-tail 🇺🇸 standardbred. Kieran: flaxen Tennessee walk. Uncle: sabino (sorry I don’t know that breed). Karen: smokey black Kentucky (I think). ------- Epilogue. John: dark thoroughbred. Sadie: red and grey mustang. As well as dark bay Turk (out of nowhere). Charles: black and white nokota. Uncle: (still no clue). - I think I’ve said everyone’s horse please correct me if I’ve missed anything
I think she could be something like a strawberry roan Ardennes. Those horses are big, brave, strong, not the fastest but they’re still really good horses. I think that fits Arthur perfectly
I can't remember where I left my first horse
Another horse is a dark bay andalusian
I am very late but I think boedicea was a red chestnut missiouri fox trotter which is not in the game
I have seen a video of Arthur's horse bodecia, she was a chestnut Tennessee walker!
ok, thanks for watching
When I think of Arthur's horse....I always imagined Boadicea as a war horse with decent size, a dark coat, and with the same general nature as Arthur. For some reason The tiger stripe mustang keeps coming up in my head whenever I apply said image to my head.
I think bodicea is an Ardennes or something of that body type because I saw some drawings of a horse that resembled one. Also, Arthur seems like the type to choose a strong warhorse like the Ardennes.
in Cassius Dio's 'Historia Romana' from 233AD, the real Boudica/Boadicea had long "tawny" hair...the original text 'xanthotrichos' translates to a range of reddish-brown.
But that was written a century after her death. The legend came to be red hair.
I lean towards the Strawberry Roan Ardennes or Red Chestnut Arabian.
Not to mention that when photographing the wild horses he only mentions the silver dapple pinto Missouri Fox Trotter and not the other more common horses
a great point that i should have mentioned, thanks for watching, friend!
Theres an artwork where arthur is riding a black horse and wearing a vest
I wonder if she was the liver chestnut Hungarian horse that was cut from the game , it seems as if She has a reddish tail , But then the other mystery is the Big horseshoe like what someone on here said boadicea might have been a big horse , Or a rare type of horse , Kinda wish they add her in great video
I think of Boadicea as maybe a horse that John and Arthur can't get, wether an entire different breed or coat. I believe Arthur pointed out the MFT in that one stranger mission maybe because he saw it in blackwater, and not that it looked like Boadicea. Maybe it was something like a American Quarter Horse (Why do I think this? Nowadays their good All-around horses, and are found in the New Austin area in the first game, so it wouldn't make sense for Arthur to be able to get one if they were just in New Austin.) I also think it could a mix breed of some sort, That of maybe a Race-War horse that was a Silver dapple pinto, which could also be how Arthur recognized the horse, because he didn't say exactly it was a MFT, he just said "That, is a Silver dapple pinto." And just because he knows the color, Doesn't mean 100% he's referring to the Silver Dapple Pinto MFT. He could be referring to a whole other breed, or just the color in general. Maybe Boadicea could be a Througherbred with higher stats than all the others. Hopefully we can learn in the future what Boadicea is, or was. (Am I the only one who thinks theres a SLIM chance that someone in the gang took Boadicea, or maybe she was lost in the Blackwater Massacre and could be one of the horses John can buy?)
I imagine boadicea as a black Andalusian. Because it would make sense.
The old guard think about it. Dutch has a white horse. Ande hosea has a grey horse. And what do you get when you mix black and white? Grey. And also it is just in between with sizes of the horse. Not as big as silver dollar yet not as small as the count.
I think you solved the mistery. Andalusian is a breed that exists for thousands of years, is a war breed AND there's a red one - typical red head celtic queen. There's no doubt in my mind now.
Think the silver dapple pinto is a cross between the count and silver dollar, so this would make arthur seem like Dutch and hosea’s son
I was messing around with cheats recently then decided to do the "Run! Run! Run!" Cheat. Then a Thoroughbred spawned, almost black and I didn't recognise it, not to toot my own horn but I'm extremely familiar with any and every horse in rdr2 so if she was openly available outside of the cheat I'd know. The reason this Thoroughbred was so eye-catching was that she was a "black chestnut". She had a black mane and tail and was almost black with a faint redish twinge and had no white markings. I personaly firmly believe this was boadicea.
Reasons I believe this:
-she is only available with the cheat or in ultimate edition
-we have reason to belive she is almost black with a red twinge
-we also have reason to belive she is a Thoroughbred
EDIT: (I'm aware that this horse is available online however I'm only discussing the story mode side of her in this comment)
My Boedicea is a Reverse Dapple Black Thoroughbred in my most recent game. I've used that pre-order or whatever Ardennes, Dark Bay Andalusian, and a tamed Blood Bay Thoroughbred, and they're all really good horses, but I always go back to Boedicea and she has all the speed upgrades.
I like the spotty Hungarian Halfbred and the Veteran’s gold Dutch Warmblood. I also like the white Arabian but I’ve grown attached to the taller and bigger horses. Arthur is kind of a big guy, one of the bigger men in camp. So, he looks a little ridiculous on a near pony sized horse. However, I’ve never had issues with the Arabians fear of predators or gun fights, mine have always been just the same as any other horse. But weirdly I do have fear issues with the Fox Trotters... I like the look of the Shire but they’re just too slow and clumsy for me. The DLC horses are good too.
Completely off topic, but I'm surprised this game didn't have the American Quarter horse considering how common it was in the Wild West.
hi dan watch what they do online, i imagine all those horses will trickle down to single player at some point
When you first start the game like the very very first time when there in the winter you can see Arthur is riding a what looks to be a spotted horse almost like the brown appy. But after dutch says " That's a good horse you should kept him" we never see Arthurs horse again.
That was taima, Charles's horse.
I named my Blood Bay Thoroughbred "Boadicea" to honor Arthur's lost horse. I really love the Thoroughbreds in this game, they're so majestic and I only like the tall horses like the Thoroughbreds, Shires, Turkomans, and the Fox Trotters (I think Arthur looks ridiculous riding an Arabian). I wish they had better stats but honestly, at this point, I don't even care abt stats anymore. I just ride the horses I like most.
Love this channel! Thank you for the videos!
hey thanks for watching, friend!
From stats perspective, I believe Arthur would have a horse which has kind of balanced stats of health stamina and speed. 2 breeds comes to mind, Turkoman and Missouri Fox Trotter
Turkoman having best health stat which might be suitable for gunfights and having respectable speed and stamina. Missouri Fox Trotter being faster with more stamina than Turkoman but frailer than it, although still respectable health. Both of them are brave horses when in combat. From stat perspective, rose bay or black Arabian could also be considered but I don't think Arthur would ride same breed as Dutch. It would be better if Dutch's was the unique breed from gang perspective.
Baylock-Low Honor horse.
Buell-High honor horse.
In the old trailers I seen him on a browned and spotted white American paint
I always though arthur looked best with a mustang. Not too tall, but with bone and muscle to make up for it. Their rugged toughness also seems to go hand in hand with arthur as well.
hi maddy, i like that "rugged toughness", perfectly describes both arthur and the mustang, great point!
You can see Boadicea in the first trailer!!!! Come on! Go to 0:52 in the video and you will see her!
I think Boadicea is a..... Morgan. Just joking, I think she’s the Dark Bay Turkoman, good size, war Horse and a dark/bronze colour. And I can picture Arthur and Hosea conning the stable hand for her. I also have a question, what do you think is the best trapper combination. Thinking of possibly playing with Arthur again, as I just got 100%, literal torture but it feels good. And, great vid friend.
Andalusians are my favorite so im gonna hope boadicea was an andalusian lol
i do like that dark bay turk, always great to see you in the comments, friend. and great job on 100% but that final cut scene always stings a bit:)
So... I'm curious to know what you guys think Arthur's horse is. Not what breed Boadicea was, but what breed would he choose during the events of the game. I have narrowed it down to 3(Chocolate roan Dutch Warmblood, The common Appaloosas and the starting Mahogany Bay TW) but I'm interested to hear what your guys' headcanon is.
I imagine that Boadicea was a silver dapple pinto. Arthur most likely lost her fleeing Blackwater, and coincidentally you can later buy one from the Blackwater stables.
i'm making a video on this very subject, thanks for watching, friend!
I know maybe it's too late but i have to tell you what's happened to me. I was looking for a new horse near Little Creek River and i found an American Standardbred and i thought why not..i followed her and when i lassoed her i swear Arthur said "LOOONG TIME" ...i almost freaked out honestly when i heard that
Was it black?
Yes
There’s a liver chestnut Hungarian halfbred in the game files that doesn’t actually exist in the game so maybe that was boadicea??
When I think of boadicea and what horse she could of been I think about the turkomam from blackwater (post story)
I got a silver dapple pinto (fox trotter) cuz i feel it matches arthur and because i did do some “re-search” and i think its a fox trotter, and i called her boadicea in honor of his first horse :)
I did the horse glitch right after the Hosea legendary bear mission and got the epilogue fox trotter (I forgot its name.) I also decided to keep the Morgan I bought during that mission for the rest of the chapter and then sold it after the final chapter 2 mission because I felt bad about getting rid of it right away after buying it like one mission ago. I took the Morgan along with me and my new main horse during hunts because when I go hunting I prefer having a extra horse to carry more animals.
I’m thinking that Arthur’s old horse might have been an abnormal or possibly a mixed breed of horse
I think Boadicea had to be red or at least prominent red highlights. To my mind, that is a must because Boadicea is famously 2 things, red-haired and a warrior queen. . The red Arabian is one option, but lacks the warrior side.. But, I would speculate that a better choice is a breed with both race and war with a red coloration. Arthur needs the race to get away from the law and bounty hunters and he needs the war traits to deal with all the fights and wild animal attacks.
I actually manged to get the Silver Dapple Pinto using Albert Masons third Mission and I named it Boadicea II not that I copied Uncle
I love the Mahogany Bay Tennessee Walker he's very loyal he is actually very trustworthy as well I mean by that is that one night we were doing a little trail ride and we saw some wolves and there are two wolf packs one wolf pack had five wolves and the other pack had three and both of the packs decided to go and chase after my horse I was on him he did not rare up and throw me off he just galloped as fast as he could he also saved me from two bear attacks he saved me from the dumb old O'Driscolls and other random strangers if if we are Galloping and we are about to get ambushed he will slow down his Gallup like I as a warning and he is the prettiest horse I ever ridden because the black American standard bread and the white Arabian but Charlie is what I named my horse the Mahogany Bay Tennessee Walker he does everything I need him to the first time when I had him he passed the train track before before the train passed when did that mission in chapter 3 where we rob the bank in Valentine
It could have been the Tiger mustang that only John can find near the end of the game as it's unavailable for Arthur to find
i do like that tiger mustang, thanks for watching, friend!
Something to chew on. Honestly never gave it any thought. I think they've switched the personalities in the Arabians and Thoroughbreds in the game. Ran a horse farm between Austin and San Antonio Texas. We had Thoroughs. A bit spastic. Veterinary I workded for had Arabians and they were very calm. Got the White one-you know from the Lake? But I stole him from the plantation woman in Lemoyne. Does well in gunfights, wolves and runs right over gaters and rattlers withoout blinking an eye. Got rid of my pre-order Ardennes-too many stepping on people and onto walkwaus get me bounties and too many tossing me into the bushes. The others I've yet to try except the one John gets-got shot out from under me as soon as I crossed the river heading into the Plains.
My theory on Boadicea is, and I have given it some thought, from the horses in the game I picture her as a champagne foxtrotter, simply because she is big, strong, fast and beautiful and has redish hair, but that's just my vision, all the suggestions in the video are definite possibilities and could well be
hi samuel, that champagne MFT is a fine horse, thanks for watching!
Id like to think she is a black standard bred because they aren't to big or too small so that is an option
hi victor, completely forgot about the black am stnd, a great point!
Boadicea could have been a Norfolk roadster or a shire because iceni tribe lands were in norfolk
(In England)
It could have been a seal brown breton
I have a hunch that boadicea was either an American paint based on the trailers of red dead or the tiger striped bay mustang cause you said Arthur lost his horse, never killed and the only special horse out west is the tiger striped bay mustang
the trailers is a good point, we need more clues from R*, thanks for watching, friend!
I named the Mahogany Bay Tennessee Walker Boadicea II
But it's a male lol
@@rk800prototype5 Its called honouring Boadicea
@@johnfernandes1247 I understand wanting to honor Boadicea, but you could've done that with a female horse you know. Imo, it is weird to call a male horse Boadicea. Maybe during the hunting mission with Hosea, buy a female horse and name her Boadicea II
@@rk800prototype5 Nell II is male and Uncle's new horse the Few Spotted Buckskin Appaloossa is a female called Nell IV
@@johnfernandes1247 Good point, I guess it just comes down to personal preference in the end
I think I just found out what she is a piebald tobiano Hungarian half red as on the back of the game case Arthur is young and on that horse
Bodiocea is an paint nokota, her photo apears in a mision with uncle
ok, thanks for watching!
What mission exactly? If you find it take a screenshot of it I would like to see it
I think a photo appears in one of Uncle’s missions
interesting, i will investigate. thanks for watching, friend!
superantonio no problem m8
Playing this game for the 3 time and man I never heard of his first horses name. Nice video 👍🏾
Boudicca was a welsh name and Arthur probably chose the name due to the fact he has welsh heritage
I think it’s the perlino andulsuian because at first it was a glitch horse so I thought it was a horse that was supposed to be boedicia
a good point, that new perlino is a great horse, thanks for watching, friend!
