Player notes
The Turkoman is a medium Horse breed in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. It combines the Race and War classes, with a slender, agile frame and a sleek coat. Its Standard handling gives it moderate reactivity and agility, although it can be impatient.
As a Race and War cross, the Turkoman has stronger overall attributes than other breeds. It has fast speed, good stamina and excellent health, making it a well-rounded mount for most situations. Its performance places it between the speed of a race horse and the durability expected of a war horse.
Turkomans can be bought from stables. The regular coats are Dark Bay, Gold and Silver, while Red Dead Online also has Black, Chestnut, Grey and Perlino variants. Hosea Matthews rides the Silver Turkoman Silver Dollar, which remains at the gang camp and can be bought at the Tumbleweed stables in the epilogue. Sadie Adler rides the Gold Dapple Turkoman Bob at camp from Clemens Point onward. During "Horse Flesh for Dinner", Arthur Morgan, Javier Escuella and John Marston steal the Dark Bay Turkoman Cerberus from the Braithwaites.
Trivia
- โThe ancient Turkoman breed was long since considered extinct by the period in which the game is set (there is an endangered horse breed called "Turkemin" in modern-day Iran, but it might not be the original Turkoman breed). However, the breed is survived by descendant breeds such as the Akhal-Teke, the Yomud, the Goklan and the Nokhorli , and, through some of its male lines, the Thoroughbred. The Akhal-Teke often have distinctly metallic coats like the horses depicted in-game. Some claim that the Akhal-Teke and the Turkoman are the same breed. Some of the foundation stallions of the Thoroughbred breed were probably Turkomans or their direct descendants.
- โThe Dark Bay Turkoman and the Silver Dapple Pinto Missouri Fox Trotter are the only two horses whose coat colors that are supposed to only be available in the Epilogue but are also completely obtainable in the main story.
