In Red Dead Online, players will spend a lot of time traversing the map on horseback. That being said, finding the perfect mount is very essential in this game.
Best horses to buy in Red Dead Online
Whether players prefer a horse with excellent speed, health, or staminan, finding the right horse to match their playstyle and budget can be a challenge. This list will provide players with a quick overview of all the necessary requirements, stats, and prices for the best horses to buy in Red Dead Online.
Arabs
Arabian horses are the only superior breed of horse in the RDO. The Arabian Red Chestnut, Black Arabian, and White Arabian all have Elite ratings in terms of handling stats, which no other horse has in the game. This horse breed can be difficult to train, but will stick once rode. Aside from their race and behavior, they differ from each other in price and other stats.
Arabian red chestnut
The Arabian Red Chestnut made the list because it's a great beginner mount and is available to players early in the game in Tier One. Red Chestnut has low health and stamina stats, but its Elite handling and high speed stats are more than reasonable for the price of $250 or 10 gold bars.
black arab
The Black Arabian has the highest stats in the game and is arguably the best horse in RDO, depending on the players playstyle. The Black Arabian has above-average stats, and players must reach level 70 with $1 or 050 gold bars in hand to be able to ride RDO's most superior mount.
The White Arab
Available to unlock at level 66, the White Arabian will cost players a bit more if they want to break into this beauty. With medium health and stamina stats, the White Arabian has a price tag of $1200 or 48 gold bars. Suffice it to say, it's the luxurious white coat that makes this frame the most expensive.
Mustangs
The Mustang ranks next on the list due to its incredibly high health and stamina stats, along with above average speed. The Mustang is a multi-class horse breed and has a low handling stat, which is expected of these particularly wild mounts. Breaking this mount will be a challenge well rewarded for those who succeed. The Mustang is a fearless breed and priceless in battle. Players can unlock the Mustang with the bounty hunter role for the price of $500 or 20 gold bars.

Missouri Fox Trotters
The second best mount in the game is the Missouri Fox Trotter. These calm mounts have a sturdy build, and their excellent stamina and average health stats make them excellent workhorses. Missouri Fox Trotters are multi-class horses with standard handling and are available with the bounty hunter role for $1125 or 45 gold bars.
Roadsters from Norfolk
Norfolk Roadster horses have incredible speed stats, and higher tier Roadsters are the fastest mounts in the game. With the Moonshiner role, after reaching role level 20, Roadsters are available for $950 or 38 ingots Golden. Along with their low health and standard handling stats, their high stamina and acceleration make these multi-class races ideal for traveling.

Gypsy Cobs
Last but not least, ranked as the most powerful mount in RDO: the Gypsy Cob. With excellent health and stamina stats, this extremely powerful steed is available to players with the Naturalist Specialist role, after reaching role level 20. For a price of $950 or 38 gold bars, these brave mounts are a beautiful breed of multi-class horses. Although they lack handling and acceleration stats, the Gypsy Cob is an excellent horse with strong intuition and magnificent coats of hair.
