I used the White Arabian for a long, long time. Towards the end of the main storyline I had 4 awesome, fully bonded horses but switched back to Snow White for maximum feels for the ending.
The only problem I have with the Arabians is that they're so small, not really a cowboy's horse.
During the epilog I've mostly used Buell whom I saved for this and Silfver, my silver Missouri Fox trotter.
The best horse in the game stats wise is the Rose Gray Arabian.
