How does the Warhorse compares with other horses in Red Dead Redemption?

Solution 1:

Comparing to the better horses only, it beats the Kentucky Saddler in nearly all aspects (can't confirm speed). However, in terms of stamina the Hungarian Half-Bred wins and in terms of speed the American Standardbred wins. So overall a great horse but NOT hands down the best for you, try the other top horses to see if they fit your play-style better.

For reference: http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/War_Horse, wikis are great for this kind of info in case you didn't already check.

Solution 2:

The Warhorse is THE best horse in the game.

The other 'best' horses such as:

  • Hungarian Half-bred
  • American Standardbred
  • Kentucky Saddler

...share good speed ratios with good health ratios.

However, the Warhorse has the best speed ratio and the best health ratio. Period!

Solution 3:

War horses do not scare. Unlike the rest who will kick you off when scared war horse will stick with till the bitter end.
