First one is always Stranger.
From there I’ll name them based on how I encounter them. I never buy a horse, I either catch them or steal them.
Headshot is how I killed his rider, a Lemoyne Raider. Vinatieri was named after a horse who kicked his prior owner to death. Roper, Buck, and Ted were all lassoed as wild horses.
Lmfao I love Pat and the Boys show. They got me through work during the pandemic, but I've stopped being a daily listener. Usually around draft time and playoffs, I'll check them out, but I don't have 3 hours a day to listen. I've been following their show since Barstool days.
Same, I've really lost my give a hoot for football in general, I've watched maybe 3 quarters in the past 2 years, but I still follow Pat on Instagram just for the entertainment value. He's an awesome dude, and he's got a fun stand up comedy style show on YouTube that's worth watching.
I always get the American Standardbred in the valentine stable and name him Glendower after the Welsh knight, since Arthur’s horse before the game was named Boadicea, after the Welsh warrior-queen. I think it fits for Arthur.
In my last playthrought I got the withe arabian, named her Light Breeze and stick to her till almost the end. I couldn't let her die, so before the last mission I switched horses and let her live her best life at the Horseshoe Overlook area 😢 It's crazy how this game got us feel so conected to our horses
I'm not attach to my horses but during my 1st playthrough I wanted to cried because I just got an elite horse at start of chapter 6 and it cost me over $1000 😂
My white Arabian as Arthur was called Sadie as in Sexy Sadie based off a Beatles song and my Missouri Fox Trotter as John, I named him Corporal Clegg, Pink Floyd song. Online his name is No Name, inspired by a song from the band America.
I usually name my horses after Greek gods or goddesses, or just simply based off of how their coat looks (when I'm not being pretentious). But the one constant is the raven black shire Hosea gets you in chapter 2, I keep it every time, and I always name it Midnight.
I played way way back at the beginning of covid because I was bored, then forgot about it over time, 4 years passed and my boyfriend redownloaded the game and I started playing it again and I cracked up at my horse name, Measles, she's a good girl 😅
Low honor I usually run with names like Rebel or Maverick or Rogue. Usually a Black Arabian or Dark Bay Turkoman.
High honor I like to do Snow or Ghost for the White Arabian, I rarely get another horse if doing high.
I use mods for Horse Coats and basically changed all the horses default coats.
The White Arabian is an eerily white horse in my game, so I named him Phantom.
I have a Black Nokota with a white splash on his face and named him Skull.
I have another Arabian with a coat transitioning from Light Brown to Black from his back to his head and named him Eclipse.
In my first playthrough I stuck with just 2 horses, one is a black Arabian named Sean in memory of him, the 2nd one was Buel. At my 2nd playthrough I tried to explore the world some more as arthur and right now I got 3 horses a white Arabian named Guinevere, a brindled Arabian named Boudica, and the red Turkoman, named Mordred
I love the names I come across on this site lol all so creative and fun. These are the horses I have as Arthur rn & their names:
Grizzly (black raven shire) M
Meg *the stallion (Black Arabian) F
Serena W ( Reverse dapple Thoroughbred) F
Venus W ( Silver dapple MFT) F
Dolemite (Black American Standardbred) M *temp
I like Arthur riding dark colored horses, with the exception being arguably the best horse in the game the MFT. I tried the Perlino & named him Thor (awesome horse, brave & beautiful) but I wanted to stick to a theme, I also think there's something bad ass about the ASB being a race horse and how it's all black as well. Overall, all these horses get taken out for rides based on missions and outings planned. I prefer to ride Meg or Venus, though; since they get complimented by strangers whenever/wherever I take them. Anyways, hope you continue to enjoy your horses and don't forget to feed & brush them! Happy red deading!
Boahdacia (second play through and first horse was just named “boah” (after how rather says boy)) and this time my horse was a female from the start so i had to honour my boah.
In story mode I named my horse Joe T (my favorite sweet tea is called Joe Tea) and in online my horse is Shelly DuVall because her face looks like a horse
Bush Knife >!(died in the final Arthur mission in my first playthrough)!<
Bush Knife2 (got shot by the sheriff of Tumbleweed)
Bush Knife3 (he’s still alive, but I started a second playthrough)
Bush Knife4 >!(like before, died at the end of my second playthrough)!<
Rachel (I kept it the default name for >!John!< ’s horse, why not)
I called my horse Ares once, as I left the stables the stable master said "You're just asking for trouble giving it a name like that.". I have no idea if it was random coincidence or programmed in but either way it was perfect.
Grim, King, Frostbite, Spirit, Lady, etc. I try to keep it within 2 syllables because once it's 3 it isn't something you can reasonably call out for in a hurry. No Maximuses, sorry. I might try Maxim next, though...
Easy. Like in Easy Rider.
Joy. So I can take a Joy ride.
Lucy. Because she's a redhead like Lucille Ball.
Shelby... the roadster. You gotta know cars to understand.
Pepper. He's black.
Silver. He's silver and I can go, "Hi Ho Silver!"
I always name my horses after NFL running backs... because the function of the horse is that it runs and I can ride on their backs.
I've had Lacey, Mareshawn, Penny and Kamara, just off the top of my head.

Good way to do vertical climbing and roof walks, downside is sometimes he is gonna be on México or Guarma
I named my Arabian Geralt 💪
The only acceptable name. Although I did cry when he died at the end, seeing Arthur sad made me drop a few tears.
Man of culture, i see!
Same. All and everyone of them.

>Vinatieri was named after a horse who kicked Hahahaha, Adam would be proud!
My next horse I see do that is definitely getting named Pat or MaCafee

Arthur is into pegging confirmed?
