Player notes

The Mustang is a small, Standard-handling horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2, classified between the War and Work classes. It combines traits of both types, with a lean frame and pronounced withers. Its health and stamina place it among the stronger Work and War horses, while its speed is decent and its acceleration is more ordinary. Its handling gives it moderate agility and responsiveness.

Mustangs are wild horses found roaming the wilderness. Wild Bay and Grullo Dun Mustangs appear in the central Heartlands of New Hanover and west of Fort Mercer in New Austin. The Tiger Striped Bay Mustang is found east of Fort Mercer, near Rio Del Lobo Rock in New Austin. The breed is used as a multi-class mount for work and combat roles.

Some Mustangs belong to named characters. Lenny Summers keeps Maggie, a smaller Light Palomino Mustang with a unique model, at the gang camp. In 1907, Sadie Adler rides the Dark Bay Roan Mustang Hera, which appears during missions and around Sadie. In Red Dead Online, Marshal Tom Davies rides a Golden Dun Mustang with markings like those of the Tiger Striped Bay.

Trivia

  • โ—†The Mustang is one of the signature horses of the Del Lobo Gang, and they can be seen riding both Wild Bays and Grullo Duns in three random encounters with the gang including one in Armadillo, one involving the gang riding through a random spot in New Austin, and one where three Del Lobos try to solicit a prostitute who will ride away on one of the Mustangs if the encounter is allowed to play out.
  • โ—†The Tiger Striped Bay is one of the rarest mounts, and can be found west of Rio del Lobo Rock and southeast of Fort Mercer. Paytah also rides this horse in "Eastward Bound".
  • โ—†Mustangs can be found in New Austin, West Elizabeth, and New Hanover though they are most commonly found in New Austin.
  • โ—†Besides the Arabian, the Mustang is one of the few horses that NPC's will give compliments to, with the other two being the Turkoman and Missouri Fox Trotter. Coincidentally, the latter three are all multi-class horses.
  • โ—†Despite every Mustang except Maggie featuring heavy feathering, Mustangs do not typically have feathers and those that do typically only have light feathering which may increase slightly during the winter. This heavy feathering in conjunction with the numerous Duns likely points towards these being Spanish Barb Mustangs, though it cannot be said for certain.
  • โ—†The Wild Bay features a dorsal stripe and Pangarรฉ fur on the lower body and muzzle. The unique coloring and stripe may possibly indicate that this is a mildly expressed bay dun.
  • โ—†The Grullo Dun is a base black horse featuring slight dun characteristics including much lighter fur, and a dorsal stripe in addition to a stripe face marking.
  • โ—†The Tiger Striped Bay is a bay dun featuring heavy primitive markings on the legs and a dorsal stripe, with a star marking on the forehead. The mane and tail is moderately sun-bleached.
  • โ—†The Light Palomino exhibits very heavily expressed white ticking as a rabicano and features four socks in addition to a blaze and a sun-bleached mane and tail. She is smaller than other mustangs, uses a slightly different model and does not feature feathering.
  • โ—†The Dark Bay Roan is a dark bay roan with a star, although the purple hue is exaggerated and inaccurate to real-world horses. A large number of corn marks cover the torso and rear.
  • โ—†The Buckskin has no markings aside from a black patch on the forehead, possibly as a result of the sooty gene. The tail is slightly sun-bleached, and the color and markings may indicate that this is a reference to the titular character from the 2002 Dreamworks film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
  • โ—†The Red Dun Overo is a chestnut dun frame overo with a bald face also featuring blue eyes, a dorsal stripe and heavy primitive markings on the legs. Oddly, much of the fur around the eyes is a different color from the rest of the body; the reason for this is unknown.
  • โ—†The Black Overo is a black base frame overo with a skull face marking.
  • โ—†The Tovero appears to be a maximum sabino overo mixed with small splotches of a chestnut base tobiano, with blue eyes and a mane and tail that is not sun-bleached.
  • โ—†The Golden Dun Mustang is a buckskin dun featuring the exact same markings as the Tiger Striped Bay, albeit with brown fur on the muzzle that incorrectly covers the inner nose and lips, and a mane, tail, and feathers that are sun-bleached.
