Player notes
The Kentucky Saddler is a medium-sized Riding horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2. It has a smooth gait and Standard handling, giving it moderate responsiveness and agility. Its health is stronger than its speed, acceleration and stamina, and it is generally an inexpensive, common horse with modest overall attributes.
Kentucky Saddlers appear as transitory horses in the wilderness. Wild examples can be found around Wapiti Indian Reservation and Donner Falls in Ambarino, near Braithwaite Manor and outside Rhodes in Lemoyne, by Cattail Pond in Grizzlies West, and along Little Creek River above Big Valley. They also occur around Tall Trees, Great Plains and Lake Don Julio.
The breed is used as a riding horse, particularly for short journeys, rather than for exceptional speed or acceleration. Its regular coats include Black, Chestnut Pinto, Buttermilk Buckskin, Silver Bay and Gray. Uncle rides the Sabino Kentucky Saddler Nell II during 1899, and she remains at the gang's camp.
Trivia
- โThe Black Kentucky Saddler has a blaze and four socks based off a photo of a real horse. Unlike the reference, however, the skin-to-fur transition is poorly done and numerous pink texture artifacts can be seen on the face when viewed close up.
- โThe Chestnut Pinto is a tobiano also based off a photo of a real horse, albeit with more creative liberties taken with the markings and a more vibrant shade of orange and white being used. Like the reference, there are four socks in addition to a star and snip. Unlike the reference, however, the mane and tail is not sun-bleached.
- โThe Buttermilk Buckskin has a stripe and snip in addition to silver-colored legs despite not carrying the silver gene.
- โThe Silver Bay features a star, snip, and a very lightly sun-bleached mane and tail.
- โThe Gray has a star and stripe. This horse shares a texture with roans despite not being a roan, leading to the face and neck being differently colored than the rest of the body.
- โThe Sabino is a chestnut base sabino overo with four socks and a bald face.
- โThe Black Kentucky Saddler (broken model) shares colors and markings with the Black Norfolk Roadster, featuring the same snip, four socks, and white marks on the body.
- โThe Dapple Rose Gray Bay shares markings with the Dapple Rose Grey Kladruber, featuring the same two socks. Unlike the Kladruber, however, the purple hue is far more unrealistically vibrant, likely indicating that this is an earlier version.
