My white with black spots and blonde manes criollo is also called Jolly Jumper! But I wasn’t online yesterday and i don’t do pvp...

This one was pure black. Seems like a popular name. Seen it mentioned on other forums. Is it a Lucky Luke homage?

 

Today, I was hunting in The Heartlands. I saw a rider travelling pretty fast in the distance. He looked like he was going to Valentine. I watched through the scope of my rolling block rifle and saw the name... 'Conker.'

I grew up reading Lucky Luke... :) As well as Tintin and Asterix and Obelix. :)

 

They simply don't make comics like that anymore. :( Pure Classics.

First horse was a Chestnut Kentucky called Jack. Second was a Grey Kentucky called Bill. Current is a dapple rose grey Kladruber called Bojack. In response my friend  named his horse Horseman.

 

If I get another I'll probably call it Sarah Jessica Parker.

I once ran straight full sprint into another player on the road trying to reach one of my timed moonshine missions. Ended up killing him and downing his horse, I felt so bad I ran over and revived the little palomino morgan called Britney Spurs so she wouldn't die. And for some time I ran into quite a few horses called Roach, had no idea why until I watched The Witcher on Netflix. Right now I'm currently riding my silver tipped Standardbred "Boomshot" if you could guess I'm a big Gears of War fan. My favorite horse has to be between her or my silver bay Turkoman "Bogey".

My first horse was called Medical Frigate until we decided to be a bit more serious.

Now I ride Fang and we take no lip.

I’ve gone and made all my horses for specific roles. They’re called Trader, Collector, Moonshiner etc. It was hard remembering the names, so they got those new ones. 
Trader: A brown Breton, white hair, white braid tail, female, Trader saddle. Ram skull mask.

Collector: Brown/Silver Ardennes, black hair and tail, male, Collector saddle, Rattlesnake mask.

Bounty Hunter: Dark Bay shire, black hair and tail, BH saddle, male.

Posse: Black Kladruber, white hair and tail, white Nacogdoches saddle, male.

 

I haven’t found a good large horse that fits the Moonshiner saddle yet though.

Tintin I’ve read so many times I’ve lost count.

I mean in online though. Isn’t that the MFT you’re talking about? I love the speed of it, but I need my horses big and wide. I’ve had the MFT before, but it got discarded. It looked plain silly when my guy was riding on it.

Shire

Ardennes

maybe the Turkoman

Kladruber

 

Thats more or less the only ones I’m gonna use. I want them BIG.

Shire got autocorrected to sh*te

I probably went for the obvious with my last horse. Gold Turkoman, named him Midas...

Last night I was playing and saw a Shire called "Torque". Got a good chuckle from that one.

The next horse I buy I'm going to call "Flatulence".

Ah yes, the often overlooked fifth horse of the apocalypse.

Would like an opinion about which horse and saddle combo is the most "povert looking" one? Like a horse and saddle that a poor farm girl could only afford. Gonna have my next horsie match my "poor farm girl" outfit.

 

p.s. seen one named "Gup Gup". Cute.

Mister Ed, Butt Stallion, and Bodacious Tatas are some of the funnier ones that I recall seeing.

 

My buddy named his most recent horse “Vanessa” after his ex-girlfriend... Can’t tell if that’s an insult or a cry for help.

When I buy a new horse [still riding the Red Arabian at the moment...she seems to be getting more skittish by the day though she's been great--I got bucked off repeatedly during the Wolfman Legendary earlier this week as well as been dumped solo during some roadblock clear missions for Moonshiner], I plan to name it 'Butterstuff' in tribute of the diabetic police horse from Half Baked:

FWIW, maybe not as important for RDO, but the main game, Arthur's horse was named Boadicea, which is a Celtic Queen during the time of the Roman Empire. More importantly, her tale became a famous one during the Victorian era in England (1830-ish to 1900-ish), as the English Poet Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote a poem entitled "Boadicea."

As we often come up with names for our horses from our current pop culture, Arthur would also have picked names from famous contemporary tales and writings (and did, which is why he picked Bodicea).


The best name I've managed to find was the name of another Tennyson poem, "Tithonus," as Arthur definitely would have been a reader of Tennyson.
