Horses in Red Dead Redemption 2 are both an animal species and the main form of transport. They can be captured and broken out in the wild, purchased from stables or acquired by more underhanded means.
Your bond with your horse represents trust and understanding. As your bond grows over time and through activities like feeding and grooming, your horse's attributes like stamina, performance and handling will improve. You will also unlock bonding perks and rewards.
