To tame a wild horse in Red Dead Redemption 2, approach the horse slowly, soothingly speaking to it. Press the interaction button to calm it and mount when the prompt appears. Hold the left stick in the opposite direction of the horse's movement to calm it further, eventually breaking it in.
Understanding Wild Horses in Red Dead Redemption 2
In Red Dead Redemption 2, wild horses can be found roaming in various locations across the game world. These horses are untamed and will require some effort to be successfully tamed. When approaching a wild horse, it's important to keep in mind that each horse has its own temperament and level of skittishness. Some horses may be more difficult to tame than others, so it's crucial to approach them with caution and patience.
Approaching a Wild Horse
When you spot a wild horse that you want to tame, start by approaching it slowly. Move in from the side rather than head-on, as this can help to avoid spooking the horse. Keep an eye on the horse's body language - if it starts to rear up or kick, you may be getting too close too quickly. Remain calm and continue to move towards the horse at a slow and steady pace.
Bonding with the Horse
Once you have successfully approached the wild horse and it hasn't run off, you can begin the process of bonding with it. This involves calming the horse and gaining its trust. To do this, slowly walk closer to the horse and press the appropriate button prompt when it appears on the screen. This will allow you to soothe the horse and establish a connection with it.
Using Lasso and Patience
If the wild horse is still not fully tamed after bonding with it, you can try using your lasso to help subdue it. Equip your lasso and aim it at the horse - if you successfully lasso the horse, it will become temporarily immobilized. Approach the horse while it's lassoed and continue to soothe it to build a bond. This process may take some time, so patience is key.
Mounting and Breaking the Horse
Once you have successfully bonded with the wild horse and it appears calmer, you can attempt to mount it. Approach the horse and press the appropriate button prompt to climb on. The horse may buck and try to throw you off, so be prepared to react quickly and use the on-screen prompts to maintain your balance. Repeat this process until the horse starts to accept you as its rider.
Building Trust and Riding
As you spend more time with the horse, continue to soothe it and care for it to build trust. Feed it, brush it, and take it on rides to increase your bond. The more you interact with the horse, the more it will come to trust and obey you. Eventually, the wild horse will become fully tamed and you can ride it as your own trusted companion in Red Dead Redemption 2.
