How many horses can I have?

Can you have more than 3 horses stabled, or is that all the horses we get? Or can we have 3 stabled and 1 to ride?

I would like to have all the superior horses if possible, but if not I'm going to have to pick my favorite 3 and go with those.

According to manual, found in the RDR2 Companion app. You can keep up to three horses in stables.

Manual text:

There are stables in most major towns, shown by a blip on your map and Radar. At a stable >you can:

• Buy and sell horses.
• Retrieve your lost horse.
• Rename your horse.
• Buy Horse Care items such as food, snacks, and tonics.
• Buy or upgrade equipment such as saddles, saddlebags, stirrups, horns, blankets and bedrolls.
• Keep up to three Horses safely in stables.
• Customize your Horse's appearance and accessories.
