This is the perfect breed for Arthur, a large, strong, loyal and tenacious work horse that never runs in the face of danger. The fact that no other gang member uses it, therefore making it unique for Arthur, is the cherry on top.
Yeah, i did the same thing. I did all The Veteran quest with Arthur and kept the last mission for John and it fits perfectly story wise even more if you were a honourable Arthur. Now i have Buell with me and he became my main horse.
It's an unique horse. It gets stats when maxed out similar to the Arabian. And Buell is not like the rest of the Dutch warmblood, when you're in trouble and the horse isn't near you he'll Sprint as fast as he can to rescue you to get you away from danger and also it handles himself against predators better than the other dutch warmbloods which is why it earned the title of the fearless horse.
My first playthrough I was using Buell for the final mission and when Buell died it was like watching Hamish die again, fucking sad man, especially when Arthur said thank you. My second playthrough I only did the first Veteran mission as Arthur, so I can keep Buell as John
@@starstabletwins5627 you can do the whole thing as John but... why would you? The relationship between Hamish and Arthur is so...pure. He is the father figure that Dutch wishes that he was. Do two missions as Arthur and one as John and then leave the old man and his horse be. They will live forever.
@@bikeaddict just started my second play through not that long ago and kinda like the idea of meeting them but then just letting them be and "live forever"
I tend to always compare the Dutch Warmbloods to the Hungarian Halfbreds. Personality and size wise they seem quite similar. Overall DWs have better stats but I personally prefer the coats available in the HH breed (love all 3, especially the Piebald Tobiano and the Flaxen Chestnut). But of course, Buell easily tops every single one of them, even looks wise to me. Another great video, as usual!
@@adamporter3402 the tiger striped mustang I had was the first horse that chased off a cougar... couldn't believe... I got thrown by Buell around cougars if I didn't spot them and react quickly enough
Hate to comment twice, but I ADORE the Native American flute played in the background every so often, I suggest playing it more throughout the video!! It’s just gorgeous. I love these videos!!
SPOILER ALERT BELOW! I kind of wished Arthur and Hamish’s Missions were just about them enjoying life at first than evolves to Arthur opening up about his sickness and Hamish gives his own support. Than many years later, John would have his own sets of missions, meet Hamish, they do other activities while also reminiscing about Arthur the whole time, than, a pretty old Hamish, has his own sickness ( idk, I guess cancer? ) and Hamish dies in his bed with his last wish being passing on Buell to John. John would bury Hamish, you would keep his hat as a ‘Found Hat’. And than get Buell. I feel like both Arthur and John deserved to know and be friends with Hamish. And this would add more depth to both of our favourite cowboys. 👍
I did Hamish's first mission with Arthur and then found out what happens so I finished the game first and went with John to get Buell in the epilogue. To my surprise there was extra dialogue where John explains how he knows Hamish and I loved that so much, it was so wholesome, both boys got to meet him but unfortunately his death was still very sad
When I first found Hamish, I was playing as Arthur. I knew I wanted to keep buell alive as I think I would’ve cried wayyyyy more than I did when my horse (that I had since chapter 2) and Arthur died. Luckily the mission was still there when I switched to John Marston, so I went to his cabin and they talked about Arthur. It made me cry cause I feel like buell is even more special to me as Arthur knew Buell and Hamish. I definitely recommend playing it like that instead of just doing it as John or Arthur. Do both!
Honestly I think Dutch Warmbloods are super underrated in this game, and an excellent choice - particularly early game. I bought a Chocolate Roan for my second playthrough in Chapter 2 and I looooove him
I'll might do another run... But only because I sold Buell before I knew how special he was . I didn't know he was unique because I avoided spoilers but now I feel like I have to.
I had a Chocolate Roan. She was the best horse out of them all tbh. She didnt spook very easily and very rarely needed to be revived from big falls and crashes compared to others. She was also very brave. I was sad to see her go at the end of the game. Had her since the beginning and never got another horse when I bought her.
Lucky you, mine bucked me off at presence of 1 wolf, completely looses control nearby balckbear, bucking off when see cougar from a mile away and runs away when there's a even small gunfire close to it. Dunno whats wrong with my horse, but Arabian seems super brave compared to DW
@@Meldvin but the Arabian is so damn tiny. Lol. Arthur looks like a circus freak giant when riding an Arabian. Lol. Just too small for my taste. I don’t think you have a warmblood. Mine doesn’t get nervous unless she sees a gator. Wolves don’t shake her.
Chocolate Roan is my favourite. As soon as Chapter 2 starts, I grab the gold bar from Limpany and ride to Rhodes fence to get enough money to get the Chocolate Roan in Hosea's mission.
Arabians, Foxtrotters, Thoroughbreds and the Dutch Warmblood is still easily my favorite mount. And you have to be one of the few to really hammer home just how precious Buell is! Crazy how no one ever talks about him being the rarest and only irreplaceable horse in game. Awesome video!
Technically speaking, Buell's only one of four irreplaceable horses in the game. If you lose them, you can't get the Mahogany Bay Tennessee Walker, the Black Raven Shire or the Seal Brown Thoroughbred (Rachel) back either. But of course, he's a much better horse than at least the Tennessee Walker or the Shire, and I personally prefer him over Rachel too. IMO a lot prettier as well!
I started playing RDR2 last week and accidentally bought the chocolate roan from the Valentine stable, it cost me all of my money but it became my primary horse lol
I have a dutch- warmblood, and let me just say they are great for fun fights, My Dutch warmblood does so well with predators and gun fights. So if your a person who likes to hunt or get involved with gun fights I recommend this horse.
Gotta admit. I didn't give the Warmblood much attention but definitely have come around. Been riding a Halfbred online for ever and completely love him. Just a great all around horse. Might be a Warmblood in my future though it seems. Thanks...
Shamit Sharma If you get it to level 4 they seem to react better. Like any other horse they are prey animals so you can only push them so far. But, keep trying!
For my first playthrough I had the sooty buckskin Dutch for the entire game and it was worth it, perfect for a player who spends a lot of time traversing the map or who likes to brawl or reckless shit. I also had a blast chasing off wolves.
For those who are a big fan of the Chocolate Roan. I have a way you can get it without paying for it. It’s when you go hunting with Hosea. Once you sell the shire and buy your new horse before you exit the barn stop leading your horse . Go back into the barn. Then jump into the stall that the Morgan was in. Then jump into the Chocolate Roan’s stall and start feeding it. Once you see it on your Compass jump back over the stall and exit the barn and go hunting with Hosea once you’re done with that go back to Valentine and whistle for your horse to come to you. It should go straight to you.
RIP to my darling Chocolate Roan, Citadel... she was so curious ;-; I feel so bad. I had a hard time bonding with a new horse after finishing Arthur’s story. But Citadel beat my Arabian, Fox trotter, and Ardennes by sheer personality.
Danielle you are by far my favorite Red Dead Redemption RUclipsr. Your voice is so relaxing to listen to & you do such a great job editing. Thank you so much for these horse guides! They are by far the best I could find anywhere.
The Sooty Buckskin spawns to the right of the Valentine stable near to where an npc is sharpening an axe after chapter 2. Just make sure no-one is about before climb aboard.
I like these videos because it’s not like others who speak at a loud voice who just spend the video playing a separate game talking about the horse in their opinion
"Are these the best in the game?" Buell is pretty damn close in my opinion. The single best general use horse out there I say. He is good at just about everything, even if specialists beat him out on a case by case basis.
Years late but the Seal Brown is able to be found in chapter two with lawmen racking up a bounty in Valentine or Rhodes. Just massacre a lot of law and you have a chance of the Seal Brown appearing as early as Eastward Bound if you want
I sold the other 3 horses I had stabled after I reached level 4 bonding with my beautiful Dutch Warmblood queen Kassandra and realized I'm never gonna need another horse again. The only time she ever bucked me was when a cougar charged at me full speed. Getting shot at and taking a few bullets? Getting attacked by wolves? Gallopping through a field of alligators because you can't be bothered with sticking to the roads even in a swamp? She dealt with it all like she was born for this and nothing else. I fell in love at first sight with that beautiful chocolate roan coat color of hers, which was really the only reason I spent the money on her in the first place. Didn't know anything about the breed and wasn't too impressed with the initial stats, but simply enjoyed how she looked. One chapter later and I'm riding a fearless, cool under pressure work beast of a horse that can keep a full gallop for miles, will buck off thieves without me even having to whistle for her and handles a shotgun blast to her chest like someone just threw an acorn at her. Never wanted another mount ever since. Watching her die at the end broke me more than any of the other deaths in the game. The only comfort I had was when Arthur died shortly after so he wouldn't need to actually deal with the loss. Instead, when he turned his head to watch the sun rise one last time, he would see his one true friend just peacefully standing there, patiently waiting for him to hop on and give her her good morning apple so they could go on their last journey together like they had done all those countless times before. Happily in the ever after. RIP Kassandra. Best horse ever.
One of my favourites. A couple notes: Bule was always a little more tempromental for me than the others The chocolate roan actually defended me once (reared at wolves and stuck by when I was on foot- I also got that one from an o'driscol ambush between camp and valentine.
My Chocolate Roan on my first playthrough spoiled every other horse in the game for me. I bought her as soon as I had enough money in Chapter 2 and totally thought all horses were that brave and stoic. Then I thought I'd 'upgrade' to the Fox Trotter in Chapter 4 and that lasted about two cougar attacks. Then I briefly tried the Turkoman and couldn't stand the constant whining and stamping. So I had my Chocolate Roan basically from Chapter 2 to the very end and am still too emotionally scarred by that to get another. 9 stamina, 8 health, 7 speed and a great size -- best horse in the game as far as I'm concerned and a total gift that it's available in Chapter 2.
You can essentially buy the Chocolate roan from the first minute that the stables open up to Arthur and have one of the best horses in the game from then on. You really don't ever need to replace this beast.
Well, this channel is easily the absolute best resource for anything horse related in RDR2. I've watched a couple of vids and it changed my view on horses entirely. I was habitually spawning lawmen to get my hands on a Turkoman as early as possible but ut turns out that my free, Pre-Order Ardennes is my favorite for Story Mode upon realizing how little Speed matters overall. Funny how that turned out. It remains to be seen if I can win against the woman racer to gain the last speed buff with the Ardennes. I'll edit in the result once I get her to spawn (twice).
Buell and the Dutch WB Seal Brown are my favourite horses. And the best looks of all horsebreeds, imo. The Seal Brown can also be obtained by killing LAWMEN, who can ride the seal Brown. Bounty hunters not, as you said, they only ride the Buckskin version. Very, very nice and good video’s. Love them all.
I’m going for 100% completion on my current playthrough and I also have Buell and a Seal Brown Warmblood, really great horses. Tall, brave and full of stamina.
I got the chocolate roan for free. When you go to buy a horse with Hosea, if you lead your horse in the stable then stop you can run around in there. Just hop the fence, force feed the horse till it shows up as a temp horse on your mini map. Then finish the mission and come back to the stable and whistle, the horse will run out to you. Just bond with it and now you got a nice horse for free.
I had to use a wagon for that. Also sometimes the stable owner runs out and reports a crime real fast and when you take too long the game puts you outside the stable again possibly with the constabulary hunting you. Also the horse did not seem to be responding to interaction with the choices all greyed out but it ate the food anyway. When it finally clicked I got thrown out of teh stable by the game, no bounty, the horse was a "secondary horse" in side the stable, then I rode away for a bit, whistled, and when I came back it was stood outside the stable and I could use it! Yay free horse!!
My Dutch was the chocolate roam and he was Arthur’s only horse throughout my play. Diablo. Love that horse. Only horse I like riding with Arthur besides the raven shire
The seal brown Dutch warmblood can actually be had for free: sometimes lawmen in Lemoyne will spawn with this coat. They will spawn with an array of coats, I've also seen them with the dark Bay Andalusian. those are my two favorite looking coats in the game so I went out of my way to get the seal brown warmblood from the Lemoyne lawmen near the beginning of ch2.
Great horse! Not the best statwise overall etc... and speed is not the most important stat, cuz one, you can add a couple of slots to upgrade and 2. i find the speed, especially with the upgrades, almost feeling the same for most breeds. The Dutch warmblood, the mustang and the Andalusian are seriously good value for money horses. Great vid and you have another subscriber. Thanks!
@Dax P It's an amazing horse.I also have the sooty buckskin amnd i really love her.Her name is Denira, I know its a weird name but i love her.When i am doing trai rides I usually take her because she is one good horse.Bye have a nice day.
I remember I got Buell the gold horse and the only one in the game, only for it to get hit by a train when I was going after Billy Midnight r.i.p Buell
Even at Level 1 bonding, I was able to repeatedly shoot right next to my Warmblood and she didn't even flinch. Great horse. EDIT 1 Year Later: This breed is 100% my favorite horse. I gushed over it on the Ardennes video, but they're just fantastic. The speed is JUST enough to not feel sluggish. Being able to get the Chocolate Roan from Valentine early is great if you want an awesome "all-around" horse to keep till endgame, or until you get Buell. I never get tired of riding my Warmblood, named her Tobacco. I've noticed that each horse is a bit different with the wildlife courage, mine happens to be VERY brave most of the time. I've never been bucked off and she's only taken control from me around multiple gators.
You can get a Seal Brown DW after the mission with Bill, Charles, Uncle, and Arthur attempting to rob a stagecoach. At the end when you finish killing the lawmen in the forest, you can find one left behind.
I did all but the last quest with Hamish with arthur, having john take buell and that be his permanent horse. Sorry Rachel, buell holds more emotional value.
I had Buell. he was a really good boah and I will miss him. whenever I was stuck in the swamp pit with the gaters, he was there. whenever the law was on my tail, he was there. and whenever I just needed a pal, he was there. I loved that horse and cried so hard when he died during the last mission. I actually took Hamishes hat and tried to keep it on as long as I could (since it wasn't a keep able hat) thank you for serving me boah. edit: one of my newer vids has my boah buells death. check it out if u want
the Chocolate Roan Dutch Warmblood is hands down the best allrounder type of horse you can get for Arthur, until maybe Chapter 4, and even then it's debatable. I get this horse early in Chapter two in every playthrough and it never failed me. Along with the Dark Bay Andalusian (or the Perlino), this is my favourite "Arthur's horse" in the game. Put the Dakota Bear saddle or the Rattlesnake saddle (Trapper saddles) on it and your good for whatever comes your way, this horse will never let you down.
Been using the chocolate roan for my second playthrough and she seems like a particularly brave horse! I'm focusing on side quests and crafting this time around and so far Asphodel seems to be handling herself quite well around wildlife. She only bucked me once when a wolf pack ambushed me, and I'm pretty sure it was because I'm not used to hunting predators yet and reacted too slowly! She held on a fair bit, only when all 3 were on me did she run off :'D I love colder-colofed roans and dont have the pre-order Ardennes so having this coat is awesome! Dunno if she'll be a permanent companion but for now she's been a blast!
I'm in chapter 2 of my second playthrough and this horse is quickly becoming my favorite. So far this thing has not bucked me off once and has remained super calm while tearing into O'Driscoll camps. And it only ever really gets scared by bears or larger predators and won't take off running at the sight of a snake.
Seal brown is a rare spawn by Cornwall's riders at the end of mission "An honest mistake" I managed to get a seal brown to spawn in twice but you have to be quick after the mission completes, use hunter vision to track the horses and grab it. Good luck!
I have the chocolate roan and i called mine Lancelot. I felt it was a fitting name for Arthurs strong companion. It does suffer in speed but makes up for in stamina making it really good for long distance traveling. If you accept and win races strangers challenge you to, the horse's speed increases.
Buell is the best DW coat for a plethora of reasons. 1. The 8 speed potential, and 7 stamina. 2. The coat is beautiful, with the creamy gold tint. 3. It makes a great longterm horse, being large and brave, and still being great in speed. 4. It commemorates Hamish, which I feel like Buell would have wanted. 5. Just a great horse, main idea, Dutch Warmbloods themselves are just great all in all.
I love these horse overview videos. I’ve been looking for a horse to play through on story mode. I’m in chapter 4 and I’ve been using a black American standardbred mostly as well as a piebald tobiano Hungarian halfbred. I think you just sold me on a Dutch warmblood!
Seal Brown can be stolen from lawmen, it's pretty rare though. I got mine from Saint Denis, a pain in the ass with all the bullets flying but he was worth the trouble!
Graphics in video games have come such a long way! I was in awe at the realistic way the muscles moved, the coats shone, and even the small details like the ears perking. I almost forgot I was looking at the digitally rendered model of a horse lol!
I Got The Sooty Buckskin Dutch Warmblood Early In The Game From Some Person Digging For Gold And I Named Her Annabelle Like Dutch's Girlfriend The One That Colm Killed
Hey this my second comment but, there is another way to get the Seal Brown horse as early as Chapter 2. An this is totally up to you cause to get this Horse money might be lost. Go to Beechers Hope go into the small shack (Quickly but, if you have time make sure you send your main horse away so it doesn’t get caught in the cross fire) and wait for bounty hunters to show up. One by one the groups will show up. An there is a 50/50 chance that one of the lawman or bounty hunters is riding the Seal Brown. (This will Take awhile so have tons of Ammo). An every so often ransack the dead lawman close to the Shack. They have health cures, watches, belts, and extra Ammo. (Just don’t take to long cause lawman show up real fast). Watch out for the other horses cause Andalusian, and American Standards do also appear and from far away they look like the Seal Brown. Just keep you eye on it so you can go get it after you shoot all the lawman down. Be warned you will have a bounty on you as soon as lawman see you so think it through while you go to do it. The highest bounty will be 300 but, other times it was just 160. But, there are ways to pay it the bounties in all the towns, and city will do. Also there’s money in the O,Driscoll ranch in Big Valley. Don’t even have to fight you way into the cabin. Just sneak from the back an enter through the window. Good luck to anyone who does this but, it is possible to get the Seal Brown it’s just a lot of patience. An once you got it run like you never ran before. Cause lawmen Suck. Have fun😅
To anyone watching this is 2022, I have managed to somewhat consistently get the Seal Brown from law men in Chapter 2. I usually do the Billy Midnight mission and stick around so I get spotted by the law. I place myself so they come from Caliga Hall or the road from Saint Denis. Someone in the second wave usually rides it, tho it might take a reload or 2. And you do get a bit of a bounty on you. But honestly, it's probably my favourite horse in the game.
I just bought this horse in seal brown and it's my absolute favourite, It's a tank and so good looking. It's also a very deceptive horse when it comes to speed because it's so large it's speed may appear slow but it's proportionate to its size as I notice it takes wider strides so during a bounty hunting mission while my friends on smaller horses were cantering I was trotting at the same speed also just riding around the map it sat comfortably at full gallop between an Arabian and Missouri Fox Trotter
Am I the only person who is intrigued to go after the Sooty Buckskin coat? I mean. Yeah it might not have great stats, but look at that beautiful coat! I think it is really gorgeous. I'm currently playing RDR2 again for the 3rd time (I have played the whole story twice, now here I am a third time lmaoo) and I think the Sooty Buckskin would be nice next to my Raven Black Shire.
I got the seal brown dutch warmblood from blackwater bounties i went to the border and I farmed them a pair of bounty hunters will come and one of them will have a seal brown. I got it in chapter 2.
My friend was once playing RDR2 with me and she found the seal brown DW for me. We named him Carlos, after my horse in real life who looks really similarly to him (he's a thoroughbred if somebody cares ;D) After a few hours, when we started to explore New Austin for the first time, we decided to make him look like the war horse/high honor horse from RDR1... He looks EXACTLY the same, I customised him, even with my poor skills, perfectly and me and my friend fell in love with him even more
I know I'm late to this but I love your videos on Red Dead. Today I just got a Seal Brown Dutch Warmblood from a bounty hunter. I thought that one was only purchasable. Great horse to have for sure
Thank you for your informative and well organized horse reviews. I am in Chapter 2 and yesterday evening I acquired a Seal Brown DWB from a generous bounty hunter, just North East of Wallace Station. Arthur has relatively high honour, but I had him wanted in all states for a $300 bounty. This is news to me that you do not have to buy this particular coat an FYI.
I have to disagree with you on some things, I got ambushed and it threw me off, same thing happened with the Arabian, Shire, and Mustang. The Turkoman literally just sat there as I shot the O'Driscolls and never flees to far when attacked. However, I will probably end up with this horse since I want one horse throughout the whole game compared to getting level 4 bonding last minute. Great video as always.
When hunting with Hosea, buy the $15,- horse BUT DO NOT LEAVE THE STABLE! (allways do a manual save between missions) When still in the stable, leave your cheap horse and walk in to the Dutch warmblood. Jump in to it and feed it and it is your secondary horse. Remember to whistle the next time you`re in Valentine
The Chocolate Roan DWB has become my favorite horse. Mine is named Marengo and I think he's the perfect mount for Arthur. I am looking forward, though, to getting Buell. Love your videos!
Love your video's and narration. I have a Chocolate Roan myself (only in the game unfortunately) she's awesome. I completed the horseman challenge 9 with her on the first go as Arthur. After failing multiple times with a white Arabian..Named her Mairwen. Thought it approprate.
In my second playthrough, I started chapter 2 with visiting the burnt down town (Lampani!) and seiling the gold bar at to the Rhodes fence. Used the money to buy the Chocolate Roan in the Hosea missing. Called him Buck. Best investment in the game.
If Dutch was a horse,Dutch Coldblood will be his breed
I would kill that horse
John Marston That’s what I like about you John

Yeah, i did the same thing.
I did all The Veteran quest with Arthur and kept the last mission for John and it fits perfectly story wise even more if you were a honourable Arthur. Now i have Buell with me and he became my main horse.

NicoParasite why, what happens? I helped the veteran with Arthur and then went fishing with him as John, is there another mission?
When Dutch says you need money but you out here balling with 20k
What's cool about Buell is that you can't change his name
It's an unique horse. It gets stats when maxed out similar to the Arabian. And Buell is not like the rest of the Dutch warmblood, when you're in trouble and the horse isn't near you he'll Sprint as fast as he can to rescue you to get you away from danger and also it handles himself against predators better than the other dutch warmbloods which is why it earned the title of the fearless horse.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW!
I kind of wished Arthur and Hamish’s Missions were just about them enjoying life at first than evolves to Arthur opening up about his sickness and Hamish gives his own support. Than many years later, John would have his own sets of missions, meet Hamish, they do other activities while also reminiscing about Arthur the whole time, than, a pretty old Hamish, has his own sickness ( idk, I guess cancer? ) and Hamish dies in his bed with his last wish being passing on Buell to John. John would bury Hamish, you would keep his hat as a ‘Found Hat’. And than get Buell.
I feel like both Arthur and John deserved to know and be friends with Hamish. And this would add more depth to both of our favourite cowboys. 👍
@Eli Empire the veteran
I did Hamish's first mission with Arthur and then found out what happens so I finished the game first and went with John to get Buell in the epilogue. To my surprise there was extra dialogue where John explains how he knows Hamish and I loved that so much, it was so wholesome, both boys got to meet him but unfortunately his death was still very sad
@Eli Empire lmao it literally says spoilers below
When I first found Hamish, I was playing as Arthur. I knew I wanted to keep buell alive as I think I would’ve cried wayyyyy more than I did when my horse (that I had since chapter 2) and Arthur died. Luckily the mission was still there when I switched to John Marston, so I went to his cabin and they talked about Arthur. It made me cry cause I feel like buell is even more special to me as Arthur knew Buell and Hamish. I definitely recommend playing it like that instead of just doing it as John or Arthur. Do both!
Honestly I think Dutch Warmbloods are super underrated in this game, and an excellent choice - particularly early game. I bought a Chocolate Roan for my second playthrough in Chapter 2 and I looooove him
I'll might do another run... But only because I sold Buell before I knew how special he was . I didn't know he was unique because I avoided spoilers but now I feel like I have to.
@@TheC0unt Now I have this question, why did you sell Buell?
@@sansguerra2265 probably because he was out of space in the stable
I had a Chocolate Roan. She was the best horse out of them all tbh. She didnt spook very easily and very rarely needed to be revived from big falls and crashes compared to others. She was also very brave. I was sad to see her go at the end of the game. Had her since the beginning and never got another horse when I bought her.
I have the Seal brown And called him Buell because he act lile buell dont getbscared at all
I have the same horse. What did you name yours?
@@odl2271 Me too, mines called Pie-O-My.
Lucky you, mine bucked me off at presence of 1 wolf, completely looses control nearby balckbear, bucking off when see cougar from a mile away and runs away when there's a even small gunfire close to it. Dunno whats wrong with my horse, but Arabian seems super brave compared to DW
@@Meldvin but the Arabian is so damn tiny. Lol. Arthur looks like a circus freak giant when riding an Arabian. Lol. Just too small for my taste. I don’t think you have a warmblood. Mine doesn’t get nervous unless she sees a gator. Wolves don’t shake her.

I like the chocolate roan if I do say so my self.
Asante Cazola My Chocolate Roan’s Name is Tim and I love it so much.
i absolutely love the roan. named mine river 😌
Mine is Rembrandt, and I love him
Asante Cazola this is my dw list
1 choco roan
2 buell
3 seal brown
4 sooty buckskin
@@christywilliams7857 yeah the sooty buckskin is ugly
Chocolate Roan is my favourite. As soon as Chapter 2 starts, I grab the gold bar from Limpany and ride to Rhodes fence to get enough money to get the Chocolate Roan in Hosea's mission.
Arabians, Foxtrotters, Thoroughbreds and the Dutch Warmblood is still easily my favorite mount. And you have to be one of the few to really hammer home just how precious Buell is! Crazy how no one ever talks about him being the rarest and only irreplaceable horse in game. Awesome video!
I could never replace him, he has everything. Stunning coat, amazing stats and an amazing backstory. Team Buell forever
Technically speaking, Buell's only one of four irreplaceable horses in the game. If you lose them, you can't get the Mahogany Bay Tennessee Walker, the Black Raven Shire or the Seal Brown Thoroughbred (Rachel) back either. But of course, he's a much better horse than at least the Tennessee Walker or the Shire, and I personally prefer him over Rachel too. IMO a lot prettier as well!
@@danvmaul Ah yes, I did forget Rachel. The other two I personally don't count since you will lose them no matter what. RIP Arthur's mounts
That raven black shire is the most rare, rockstar takes it, and you have no choice, unlike rachel and buell
I thought you had a choice not to sell the Raven Black Shire? I did and I still have him
I started playing RDR2 last week and accidentally bought the chocolate roan from the Valentine stable, it cost me all of my money but it became my primary horse lol
I have a dutch- warmblood, and let me just say they are great for fun fights, My Dutch warmblood does so well with predators and gun fights. So if your a person who likes to hunt or get involved with gun fights I recommend this horse.
Gotta admit. I didn't give the Warmblood much attention but definitely have come around.
Been riding a Halfbred online for ever and completely love him.
Just a great all around horse.
Might be a Warmblood in my future though it seems. Thanks...
Shamit Sharma If you get it to level 4 they seem to react better. Like any other horse they are prey animals so you can only push them so far. But, keep trying!
For my first playthrough I had the sooty buckskin Dutch for the entire game and it was worth it, perfect for a player who spends a lot of time traversing the map or who likes to brawl or reckless shit. I also had a blast chasing off wolves.

Archibald: "Because you ride like my grandmother."
Arthur: YEET!
For those who are a big fan of the Chocolate Roan. I have a way you can get it without paying for it. It’s when you go hunting with Hosea. Once you sell the shire and buy your new horse before you exit the barn stop leading your horse . Go back into the barn. Then jump into the stall that the Morgan was in. Then jump into the Chocolate Roan’s stall and start feeding it. Once you see it on your Compass jump back over the stall and exit the barn and go hunting with Hosea once you’re done with that go back to Valentine and whistle for your horse to come to you. It should go straight to you.
RIP to my darling Chocolate Roan, Citadel... she was so curious ;-;
I feel so bad. I had a hard time bonding with a new horse after finishing Arthur’s story. But Citadel beat my Arabian, Fox trotter, and Ardennes by sheer personality.
I agree so much that a horse develops a personality.
You deserve way more notoriety for these videos. Keep up the great work!
0:27 look at his face this horse is so sad😥
Danielle you are by far my favorite Red Dead Redemption RUclipsr. Your voice is so relaxing to listen to & you do such a great job editing. Thank you so much for these horse guides! They are by far the best I could find anywhere.
The Sooty Buckskin spawns to the right of the Valentine stable near to where an npc is sharpening an axe after chapter 2. Just make sure no-one is about before climb aboard.
yep, it spawns just after you read the letter from mary. a guy will ask you for directions bc hes drunk and the horse will be there
@@neurozoned lol the outcome if you mislead him
I like these videos because it’s not like others who speak at a loud voice who just spend the video playing a separate game talking about the horse in their opinion
dude i dont even have rdr2 but i watch these anyway i love horsesss and her videos are amazing!
I got my Scooty Buckskin Horse from the Miner NPC first horse in the game and i even got it again in the epilogue! Best horse in my opinion
"Are these the best in the game?" Buell is pretty damn close in my opinion. The single best general use horse out there I say. He is good at just about everything, even if specialists beat him out on a case by case basis.
Years late but the Seal Brown is able to be found in chapter two with lawmen racking up a bounty in Valentine or Rhodes. Just massacre a lot of law and you have a chance of the Seal Brown appearing as early as Eastward Bound if you want
I sold the other 3 horses I had stabled after I reached level 4 bonding with my beautiful Dutch Warmblood queen Kassandra and realized I'm never gonna need another horse again. The only time she ever bucked me was when a cougar charged at me full speed. Getting shot at and taking a few bullets? Getting attacked by wolves? Gallopping through a field of alligators because you can't be bothered with sticking to the roads even in a swamp? She dealt with it all like she was born for this and nothing else. I fell in love at first sight with that beautiful chocolate roan coat color of hers, which was really the only reason I spent the money on her in the first place. Didn't know anything about the breed and wasn't too impressed with the initial stats, but simply enjoyed how she looked.
One chapter later and I'm riding a fearless, cool under pressure work beast of a horse that can keep a full gallop for miles, will buck off thieves without me even having to whistle for her and handles a shotgun blast to her chest like someone just threw an acorn at her. Never wanted another mount ever since. Watching her die at the end broke me more than any of the other deaths in the game. The only comfort I had was when Arthur died shortly after so he wouldn't need to actually deal with the loss. Instead, when he turned his head to watch the sun rise one last time, he would see his one true friend just peacefully standing there, patiently waiting for him to hop on and give her her good morning apple so they could go on their last journey together like they had done all those countless times before. Happily in the ever after. RIP Kassandra. Best horse ever.
Love this comment. Crazy how much you can become attached to virtual horses, huh?
Im proud of RDR2 this time, they got the coats right
IKR
One of my favourites. A couple notes:
Bule was always a little more tempromental for me than the others
The chocolate roan actually defended me once (reared at wolves and stuck by when I was on foot- I also got that one from an o'driscol ambush between camp and valentine.
My Chocolate Roan on my first playthrough spoiled every other horse in the game for me. I bought her as soon as I had enough money in Chapter 2 and totally thought all horses were that brave and stoic. Then I thought I'd 'upgrade' to the Fox Trotter in Chapter 4 and that lasted about two cougar attacks. Then I briefly tried the Turkoman and couldn't stand the constant whining and stamping. So I had my Chocolate Roan basically from Chapter 2 to the very end and am still too emotionally scarred by that to get another. 9 stamina, 8 health, 7 speed and a great size -- best horse in the game as far as I'm concerned and a total gift that it's available in Chapter 2.
You can essentially buy the Chocolate roan from the first minute that the stables open up to Arthur and have one of the best horses in the game from then on. You really don't ever need to replace this beast.
Well, this channel is easily the absolute best resource for anything horse related in RDR2. I've watched a couple of vids and it changed my view on horses entirely. I was habitually spawning lawmen to get my hands on a Turkoman as early as possible but ut turns out that my free, Pre-Order Ardennes is my favorite for Story Mode upon realizing how little Speed matters overall. Funny how that turned out. It remains to be seen if I can win against the woman racer to gain the last speed buff with the Ardennes. I'll edit in the result once I get her to spawn (twice).
These videos are so helpful for completionists like me looking to complete the compendium.
Buell and the Dutch WB Seal Brown are my favourite horses. And the best looks of all horsebreeds, imo.
The Seal Brown can also be obtained by killing LAWMEN, who can ride the seal Brown. Bounty hunters not, as you said, they only ride the Buckskin version.
Very, very nice and good video’s. Love them all.
I’m going for 100% completion on my current playthrough and I also have Buell and a Seal Brown Warmblood, really great horses. Tall, brave and full of stamina.
I got the chocolate roan for free. When you go to buy a horse with Hosea, if you lead your horse in the stable then stop you can run around in there. Just hop the fence, force feed the horse till it shows up as a temp horse on your mini map. Then finish the mission and come back to the stable and whistle, the horse will run out to you. Just bond with it and now you got a nice horse for free.
I had to use a wagon for that. Also sometimes the stable owner runs out and reports a crime real fast and when you take too long the game puts you outside the stable again possibly with the constabulary hunting you.
Also the horse did not seem to be responding to interaction with the choices all greyed out but it ate the food anyway.
When it finally clicked I got thrown out of teh stable by the game, no bounty, the horse was a "secondary horse" in side the stable, then I rode away for a bit, whistled, and when I came back it was stood outside the stable and I could use it!
Yay free horse!!
My Dutch was the chocolate roam and he was Arthur’s only horse throughout my play. Diablo. Love that horse. Only horse I like riding with Arthur besides the raven shire
I once accidentally killed a prospector , then i took his dutch warmblood, it's my go to horse now
The seal brown Dutch warmblood can actually be had for free: sometimes lawmen in Lemoyne will spawn with this coat. They will spawn with an array of coats, I've also seen them with the dark Bay Andalusian. those are my two favorite looking coats in the game so I went out of my way to get the seal brown warmblood from the Lemoyne lawmen near the beginning of ch2.
Same. The black standardbred too.
Great horse! Not the best statwise overall etc... and speed is not the most important stat, cuz one, you can add a couple of slots to upgrade and 2. i find the speed, especially with the upgrades, almost feeling the same for most breeds. The Dutch warmblood, the mustang and the Andalusian are seriously good value for money horses. Great vid and you have another subscriber. Thanks!
I actually chose the cremello gold warmblood over the Arabian because it looked so cool and is harder to spook
Bought the Chocolate Roan in Online last week. Love that thing to bits and the coat is just amazing!
Keep up the good videos! 👌
I got myself a Sooty Buckskin from a gold prospector after I knocked him out and robbed him, called my little cuttie Drunken Gal.
Lol
lol same, i wanted to see if he would get the gold, but he attacked me for some reason. i ended up murdering him and stealing everything he had
@Dax P It's an amazing horse.I also have the sooty buckskin amnd i really love her.Her name is Denira, I know its a weird name but i love her.When i am doing trai rides I usually take her because she is one good horse.Bye have a nice day.
I remember I got Buell the gold horse and the only one in the game, only for it to get hit by a train when I was going after Billy Midnight r.i.p Buell
Even at Level 1 bonding, I was able to repeatedly shoot right next to my Warmblood and she didn't even flinch. Great horse.
EDIT 1 Year Later: This breed is 100% my favorite horse. I gushed over it on the Ardennes video, but they're just fantastic. The speed is JUST enough to not feel sluggish. Being able to get the Chocolate Roan from Valentine early is great if you want an awesome "all-around" horse to keep till endgame, or until you get Buell. I never get tired of riding my Warmblood, named her Tobacco.
I've noticed that each horse is a bit different with the wildlife courage, mine happens to be VERY brave most of the time. I've never been bucked off and she's only taken control from me around multiple gators.
You can get a Seal Brown DW after the mission with Bill, Charles, Uncle, and Arthur attempting to rob a stagecoach. At the end when you finish killing the lawmen in the forest, you can find one left behind.
Rocked the chocolate roan the whole story. Wodan was his name. Fucking warrior horse alright.
I did all but the last quest with Hamish with arthur, having john take buell and that be his permanent horse. Sorry Rachel, buell holds more emotional value.
Great work! good narrations, you earned a suscription 👍
I had Buell. he was a really good boah and I will miss him. whenever I was stuck in the swamp pit with the gaters, he was there. whenever the law was on my tail, he was there. and whenever I just needed a pal, he was there. I loved that horse and cried so hard when he died during the last mission. I actually took Hamishes hat and tried to keep it on as long as I could (since it wasn't a keep able hat) thank you for serving me boah.
edit: one of my newer vids has my boah buells death. check it out if u want
the Chocolate Roan Dutch Warmblood is hands down the best allrounder type of horse you can get for Arthur, until maybe Chapter 4, and even then it's debatable.
I get this horse early in Chapter two in every playthrough and it never failed me. Along with the Dark Bay Andalusian (or the Perlino), this is my favourite "Arthur's horse" in the game.
Put the Dakota Bear saddle or the Rattlesnake saddle (Trapper saddles) on it and your good for whatever comes your way, this horse will never let you down.
Been using the chocolate roan for my second playthrough and she seems like a particularly brave horse! I'm focusing on side quests and crafting this time around and so far Asphodel seems to be handling herself quite well around wildlife. She only bucked me once when a wolf pack ambushed me, and I'm pretty sure it was because I'm not used to hunting predators yet and reacted too slowly! She held on a fair bit, only when all 3 were on me did she run off :'D I love colder-colofed roans and dont have the pre-order Ardennes so having this coat is awesome! Dunno if she'll be a permanent companion but for now she's been a blast!
I'm in chapter 2 of my second playthrough and this horse is quickly becoming my favorite. So far this thing has not bucked me off once and has remained super calm while tearing into O'Driscoll camps. And it only ever really gets scared by bears or larger predators and won't take off running at the sight of a snake.
If I could get Buell online I'd only ever use him. Most beautiful coat on a horse.
Seal brown is a rare spawn by Cornwall's riders at the end of mission "An honest mistake" I managed to get a seal brown to spawn in twice but you have to be quick after the mission completes, use hunter vision to track the horses and grab it. Good luck!
I have the chocolate roan and i called mine Lancelot. I felt it was a fitting name for Arthurs strong companion. It does suffer in speed but makes up for in stamina making it really good for long distance traveling. If you accept and win races strangers challenge you to, the horse's speed increases.
These are the kind of videos that i Was looking for since i started playin
Buell is the best DW coat for a plethora of reasons.
1. The 8 speed potential, and 7 stamina.
2. The coat is beautiful, with the creamy gold tint.
3. It makes a great longterm horse, being large and brave, and still being great in speed.
4. It commemorates Hamish, which I feel like Buell would have wanted.
5. Just a great horse, main idea, Dutch Warmbloods themselves are just great all in all.
I love these horse overview videos. I’ve been looking for a horse to play through on story mode. I’m in chapter 4 and I’ve been using a black American standardbred mostly as well as a piebald tobiano Hungarian halfbred. I think you just sold me on a Dutch warmblood!
Permanent addition to your stable...
Yeah right
So permanent when you can only get it from chapter six but die shortly after....
That’s why you save the last mission for John.
Seal Brown can be stolen from lawmen, it's pretty rare though. I got mine from Saint Denis, a pain in the ass with all the bullets flying but he was worth the trouble!
Graphics in video games have come such a long way! I was in awe at the realistic way the muscles moved, the coats shone, and even the small details like the ears perking. I almost forgot I was looking at the digitally rendered model of a horse lol!
I Got The Sooty Buckskin Dutch Warmblood Early In The Game From Some Person Digging For Gold And I Named Her Annabelle Like Dutch's Girlfriend The One That Colm Killed
Hey this my second comment but, there is another way to get the Seal Brown horse as early as Chapter 2. An this is totally up to you cause to get this Horse money might be lost. Go to Beechers Hope go into the small shack (Quickly but, if you have time make sure you send your main horse away so it doesn’t get caught in the cross fire) and wait for bounty hunters to show up. One by one the groups will show up. An there is a 50/50 chance that one of the lawman or bounty hunters is riding the Seal Brown. (This will Take awhile so have tons of Ammo). An every so often ransack the dead lawman close to the Shack. They have health cures, watches, belts, and extra Ammo. (Just don’t take to long cause lawman show up real fast). Watch out for the other horses cause Andalusian, and American Standards do also appear and from far away they look like the Seal Brown. Just keep you eye on it so you can go get it after you shoot all the lawman down. Be warned you will have a bounty on you as soon as lawman see you so think it through while you go to do it. The highest bounty will be 300 but, other times it was just 160. But, there are ways to pay it the bounties in all the towns, and city will do. Also there’s money in the O,Driscoll ranch in Big Valley. Don’t even have to fight you way into the cabin. Just sneak from the back an enter through the window. Good luck to anyone who does this but, it is possible to get the Seal Brown it’s just a lot of patience. An once you got it run like you never ran before. Cause lawmen Suck. Have fun😅
The Dutch Warmblood is my favorite breed of horse! They have good balanced stats overall, and they look amazing and they’re super tame and brave! ❤️
I started a new playthrough not long ago, and I'm riding the Chocolate Roan Dutch Warmblood. It is one wonderful horse! I'm really loving her.
To anyone watching this is 2022, I have managed to somewhat consistently get the Seal Brown from law men in Chapter 2. I usually do the Billy Midnight mission and stick around so I get spotted by the law. I place myself so they come from Caliga Hall or the road from Saint Denis. Someone in the second wave usually rides it, tho it might take a reload or 2. And you do get a bit of a bounty on you. But honestly, it's probably my favourite horse in the game.
Stole my Seal Brown from a law officer. Named him Satan lol but there is a way, just gotta keep your eye out
I'm glad I reset a 2 hour save to get Hamishes horse back
I just bought this horse in seal brown and it's my absolute favourite, It's a tank and so good looking. It's also a very deceptive horse when it comes to speed because it's so large it's speed may appear slow but it's proportionate to its size as I notice it takes wider strides so during a bounty hunting mission while my friends on smaller horses were cantering I was trotting at the same speed also just riding around the map it sat comfortably at full gallop between an Arabian and Missouri Fox Trotter
Such a wholesome videos, I love it!🤗 Thank You, You have help lots of my problems solved.
Am I the only person who is intrigued to go after the Sooty Buckskin coat? I mean. Yeah it might not have great stats, but look at that beautiful coat! I think it is really gorgeous. I'm currently playing RDR2 again for the 3rd time (I have played the whole story twice, now here I am a third time lmaoo) and I think the Sooty Buckskin would be nice next to my Raven Black Shire.
I got the seal brown dutch warmblood from blackwater bounties i went to the border and I farmed them a pair of bounty hunters will come and one of them will have a seal brown. I got it in chapter 2.
That chocolate roam is actaully amazing
I mean roan xD
The TRUE "multiclass" horse...
The Golden Dutch Warmblood Buell is easily the best looking Horse in RDR2
You can actually get the seal brown coat from bounty hunters/lawman but it's very rare
My friend was once playing RDR2 with me and she found the seal brown DW for me. We named him Carlos, after my horse in real life who looks really similarly to him (he's a thoroughbred if somebody cares ;D) After a few hours, when we started to explore New Austin for the first time, we decided to make him look like the war horse/high honor horse from RDR1... He looks EXACTLY the same, I customised him, even with my poor skills, perfectly and me and my friend fell in love with him even more
You make me want to buy every horses available in the game
Thanks for another good video. One of my favorite horses.
Had to do a 2nd play thru just to keep Buell permanently. Leave the last Hamish quest for John in epilogue!
I know I'm late to this but I love your videos on Red Dead. Today I just got a Seal Brown Dutch Warmblood from a bounty hunter. I thought that one was only purchasable. Great horse to have for sure
You can find the seal brown not just in strawberry but from sheriffs
New Subscriber
Really enjoyed your content. Great info and smooth vocals.
Thumbs up from me 👍
Am I the only one who sometimes goes to Saint Denis to listen to my horses hooves on the Cement?
Thank you for your informative and well organized horse reviews. I am in Chapter 2 and yesterday evening I acquired a Seal Brown DWB from a generous bounty hunter, just North East of Wallace Station. Arthur has relatively high honour, but I had him wanted in all states for a $300 bounty. This is news to me that you do not have to buy this particular coat an FYI.
My warmblood doesn’t even
flinch from cougars! I love her,
she’s called Nightshade :)
seal brown will spawn with lawmen sometimes
I have to disagree with you on some things, I got ambushed and it threw me off, same thing happened with the Arabian, Shire, and Mustang. The Turkoman literally just sat there as I shot the O'Driscolls and never flees to far when attacked. However, I will probably end up with this horse since I want one horse throughout the whole game compared to getting level 4 bonding last minute. Great video as always.
When hunting with Hosea, buy the $15,- horse BUT DO NOT LEAVE THE STABLE! (allways do a manual save between missions) When still in the stable, leave your cheap horse and walk in to the Dutch warmblood. Jump in to it and feed it and it is your secondary horse. Remember to whistle the next time you`re in Valentine
The Chocolate Roan DWB has become my favorite horse. Mine is named Marengo and I think he's the perfect mount for Arthur. I am looking forward, though, to getting Buell. Love your videos!
Favourite breed in the game
Love your video's and narration. I have a Chocolate Roan myself (only in the game unfortunately) she's awesome. I completed the horseman challenge 9 with her on the first go as Arthur. After failing multiple times with a white Arabian..Named her Mairwen. Thought it approprate.
Wasn't historically accurate for R* to include this breed in the game so that kinda frustrated me lol where are the Quarter Horses?
In my second playthrough, I started chapter 2 with visiting the burnt down town (Lampani!) and seiling the gold bar at to the Rhodes fence. Used the money to buy the Chocolate Roan in the Hosea missing. Called him Buck. Best investment in the game.
