The Nokota is one of the most skittish horses in Red Dead Redemption 2, bucking and tossing its mane no matter how many times players pet its neck.

While their stats are not nearly as high as horses of more superior or rare breeds in RDR2, there's something to be said about riding an authentically Western horse in one of the greatest cowboy games ever made. Red Dead Redemption 2 recaptures some of the magic of wild Mustangs herds and other breeds of horses that linger in the wilds. Once there were hundreds of herds of wild horses across the American wilderness, though a systematic destruction of their natural habitat, western expansionism, and the development of once-wild lands has thinned their populations greatly. There are few horses as symbolic of the Wild West than the wild herds of Mustang that can be found racing freely across Red Dead Redemption 2's open world. Hamish Sinclair's dying wish is for the player to take care of Buell, so bonding with this horse and adventuring throughout the West with him can be one of the most rewarding experiences in the game.

Buell has great stats compared to other mounts, and handles well over even the roughest of terrain. Buell is one of the only horses that players can obtain with an actual backstory, and the horse is actually listed as a minor character within Red Dead Redemption 2.

He is a Dutch Warmblood with a pale and white pattern, and has a stubborn, fiery, and unpredictable temper that can give both the player and Buell's original owner, Hamish Sinclair, a run for their money and patience. The Count is much more skittish than other horses within Red Dead Redemption 2's Van der Linde gang, perhaps speaking to Dutch's shorter temper that only becomes more apparent as the game progresses.īuell is a horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 that is available to players only as a reward for finishing The Veteran Stranger Mission questline. The Count's pure white appearance represents the dream for total freedom that Dutch holds in his mind, as it is completely unblemished by the rough reality or logic that is present throughout the rest of the camp (and their horses). While it is unknown how Dutch acquired his albino Arabian, it wouldn't be totally out of character for him to abuse camp funds for his own lavish lifestyle and false status symbols. Not only is The Count an extremely speedy horse, but it is one of the most expensive breeds available, costing between $1,250 and $1,050 depending on where Arthur Morgan or John Marston purchase it.

His name is the Count, and he is the chosen mount of Dutch Van der Linde, the leader of the gang. One creature that most players will recognize is the albino Arabian horse that resides within the Van der Linde gang's camp throughout RDR2's main story.
