The best horses for new players (imo) are as follows: Black Chestnut Thoroughbred ( Ultimate Edition required) > Red Chestnut Arabian > R1 Kladruber = R1 Gypsy Cob > R1 Breton > Shire >= R1 Criollo > R1 Norfolk Roadster.The horses with the highest composite stats, excluding stamina, are the Black Arabian and all coats of the Turkoman.The single fastest horse in the game is the Rank 20 Norfolk Roadster.If a player wishes to kill your horse, the health stat won't mean much. Health increases time to kill, which is beneficial.You effectively have infinite stamina as long as you periodically calm your horse to restore stamina. Stamina is completely irrelevant when you have the Nacogdoches Saddle with higher-end stirrups.These stats are only useful in drawn out PVP chases or racing to a very minor degree. Speed and acceleration provide between 0.5%-0.6% increase per bar.Horse stats are very negligible for general gameplay.I'll try to maintain it over time, as interest keeps me. If you have suggestions for changes or additions to be made, feel free to comment or PM me. I wrote this as a place to gather most of the pertinent information regarding horses on Red Dead Online.
