The Appaloosa in Redemption 2s historic setting would have been a small and wiry Indian Pony, more similar in form to the Nokota.","The Brown Leopard Appaloosa is a coppery-colored Near-Leopard Appaloosa who has a sun-bleached white mane and tail. The unique coloring can very likely be attributed to bronzing/color shifting in Appaloosas, making the base color most probably chestnut or black. The brown fur on his muzzle incorrectly covers the entire muzzle including the inner nose and the lips.","The Blanket Appaloosa is a chestnut with four socks and a blaze.

The wild White Arabian will also always spawn as a mare, unlike any other wild horse, that can be either a mare or a stallion, same as a horse acquired from a stable (in Red Dead Online players can choose the sex of horses they buy).","In Red Dead Online, the Black Arabian, at the price of 42 gold, is the second most expensive gold-exclusive purchase in the whole game, only behind the Black Tovero Missouri Fox Trotter.","Before starting the mission \"If the Hat Fits...\", there will be two Rose Gray Bay Arabians with their manes dyed black that the player cannot take. They will be switched out during the cutscene.","The telegram mission \"A One Horse Deal\" will feature either a White Arabian at Emerald Ranch and a Rose Grey Bay Arabian at MacFarlane's.","It is never explicitly stated that these are purebred Arabians, but purebred Arabians were ludicrously rare in the United States at the time and as such would not have been anywhere near as prominent. While the breed's overall build and face shape may seem like an error at first glance, this is not necessarily true. Modern Arabians look drastically different than they generally would have looked in 1899 due to heavy selective breeding over the past century.","The Black Arabian has a star and snip.","The White Arabian is a fully depigmented greying horse, and is likely referred to as \"white\" because this is the term most common folk would've used at the time. Unlike true white horses, grays will gradually become white as they age and often become speckled after they lose all the pigment in their fur.","The Speckled White Arabian essentially represents what the White Arabian might start to look like as time went on. Both have socks and stars, something that should not be clearly visible on fully depigmented grey horses.","The Albino Arabian is likely referred to as such because this is the term most people would've used at the time, despite it being entirely impossible for horses to be albino. While he shows characteristics of a cremello minus the freckles, purebred Arabians cannot be cremello and as such if he were a purebred he could still be dominant white, a grayed out extensive sabino, or he could have been affected by vitiligo on the skin that is exposed. He also has pink hooves, which is unrealistic.","The Red Chestnut Arabians are actually Blood Bays, as can be told by their black points. While the Story Mode version has no markings, the Online version has a blaze and four socks. They do not have eyelashes, and the Story Mode version has purple hooves which is unrealistic.","The Rose Gray Bay was based off a greying chestnut, but has black points due to sharing a texture with other horses- thereby indicating the silver gene and a heavily sun-bleached mane and tail. They have four socks, a blaze, and fuchsia hooves which would be unrealistic.","The Warped Brindle Arabian is based off a one-of-a-kind horse displaying a visible somatic mutation that looks similar to Brindle, and is otherwise dark bay with two socks and a star while seemingly displaying minor sooty characteristics.","The Gray Arabian reuses the texture from a roan and as such features a lighter body and the same star. However, this is an issue as the gray gene is known to override roaning- horses that would display both are known to gray out at their face and legs first, not the other way around.","The Count originally had brown eyes as seen in various pre-release material.

However, it is noted that this texture likely originally belonged to a different, Missouri Fox Trotter horse as the compendium icon for them depicts this exact same pattern.","The Dapple Dark Gray is a graying horse with a mane and tail that is not sun-bleached, in addition to two socks.","The Silver Dark Bay is a silver bay with a sun-bleached mane and tail that features a stripe and snip with the white fur erroneously covering too much of the muzzle area. Furthermore, when the mane is lifted it up there is a very noticeable white line on the neck that cuts off awkwardly as a result of him sharing textures with a dun horse.","The unused Liver Chestnut appears to have been left unfinished, being more of a very strangely tinted blood bay with sooty characteristics on the back and rear, a ludicrously sun-bleached mane and tail, and a star and snip.
