austinweo Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 For some reason every time I call my horse in online the scrawny nag comes instead of my personal horse. I'm starting to get annoyed because my horse isn't even dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gh0stRyder Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Have you tried killing that one off and seeing if the other shows in its place? I did that and it worked for me. I am not sure if this is a bug or I am just overlooking some mechanics here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRooKeD KRoW Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I noticed after I got a second horse, it was summoning the old one sometimes and the new on other times. I had to change the settings in the quick menu. In the stables options, you can change which horse you call for various activities. So you can have a race horse set for free roam, and a war horse set for series or missions, or however you want it set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyXS Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I'm having the exact same problem here. It happens every single time I respawn, I get the message that I have no horse available and I have to drive a nag to the stable to pick up my actual horse. And yes, I have it set as my active horse, since it is saddled up in the stable and has the "stable" option in the menu. Has anyone figured this out yet?

Jameson87 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 The problem I am having with my horse is the bonding level keeps resetting. I had a level 4 bond and earned the gold belt buckle and it keeps resetting. But if I target and show info on horse it shows that the bond meter is full. Yet I log on and start playing, then I get the bond level 1 message and so on. Also got the prompt telling me I earned the buckle for that reward, but go into my awards page and it shows up empty and shows I haven't completed the challenges. Confused as all hell over this one.

MissyXS Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hey, update. Somehow, something changed/worked. I went to the stable and 'tack' and mashed a bunch of buttons. For some reason I noticed I also cannot change my saddle on my horse, so no equipping the old one. However, clicking around in there must've triggered something because I'm now able to call my horse like normal. Hopefully this lasts. Good luck on your end!

KRooKeD KRoW Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm having some trouble now understanding the bonding. I had my Scrawny Nag, and got to level 4 bond pretty quick. Got rid of it after I got a second stall and my free Thoroughbred. Have had the Thoroughbred about as long as I had the Nag, and only now just hit level 2 bond. Do the higher end horses take longer to bond with? Would kinda make sense, but I wasn't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I had the nag problem. Went into the relevant stables menu and selected heal horse. Now horse is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyXS Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Okay update: logged in tonight and I'm back to the scrawny nag problem. Went to the stable and clicked all around in the saddles and other menus like before but no luck this time. I forgot to mention that my horse also keeps resetting it's bonding and every time I pull him from the stable I'm back to level 1. I have failed/died so many times because of this lame nag. What a frustrating bug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Did you try 'heal horse' in the menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyXS Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 You mean selecting the "care package"? If that's what you mean then yes I've even done it twice. Unfortunately the problem hasn't gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLKnives Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I just had this happen too! So I called the nag and then hit left on the D-pad and went to stables. My main horse was listed and said $4.00 next to it. I had the option to heal it by hitting A so I did but I still had to go to a stable to get it. Weird because to my knowledge she never got hurt.

Lucky Luke Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hey, so you need to press left on the dpad(xbox) to bring up the little box meny were you can set up camps and stuff. Now select stables, next go to specialty and make sure your horse is set as prime under each category. Hope this helped. I will say that it seems like there is still a few bugs with setting up your horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredd1961 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 You need to heal the horse by going into the stable, or replace it. Then it will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLKnives Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Yes you are correct dredd, if your horse is injured you'll get the nag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyXS Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ahhh, thank you guys! I didn't realize there was a way to heal the horse from the D-pad menu. Healing it in the stable did not work for me, but the D-pad menu "heal" did. I figured this was a bug but maybe it's the intended penalty for not having horse insurance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLKnives Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don't know Missy, I don't have horse insurance either. Not for a $50 horse, gotta get a better one but I keep buying guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Anyone else noticed that not only does your horse rank reset on its own, but it manages to magically change sex between different missions/activities. I bought a female horse, but noticed my horse yesterday after a mission had some rather large swingers between its legs and then after another mission they were gone again, quick fire surgery! Poor horsey. Edited December 12, 2018 by Darcy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED_DEADMAN Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Try purchasing HORSE INSURANCE for the horse that you actually want to use. This will automatically heal your horse any time it dies. If not then you will always have to hit left on DPAD, go to stable, and select "heal Horse". The problem that i noticed is that when people log offline, their horse can sometimes remain in the world for long periods of time. Long enough to get shot by some asshole or starve to death. Anytime your main horse dies, rather than leave you without a horse, the scrawny nag will come in its stead until you either heal your main horse in the menus (costs $4) or...you physically retrieve it from a stable. And yea. my bond always resets back to 1 also which is only supposed to happen if it dies, which supports my previous statement about the horses persisting in the game when you log off. My cousin got offline and his horse stayed near camp while i fought other players for at least 30 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED_DEADMAN Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I knew this happened to me but thought i made a mistake during purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Ah yeah, I never thought about horses staying around in the world and that they could potentially die that way. That would be pretty silly if that is what is actually happening. How could you make sure if doesn't happen, would telling your horse to flee before exiting the game help at all? when a horse flees does it actually run away and de-spawn or does it just run off but actual linger in the game somewhere? I have also have it where after a mission I can see my horse, go up to it, see it definitely is mine from the name but it doesn't show as my horse on the mini-hud & when I get on it it comes up saying i'm a horse thief. So I whistle for my horse and then I have 2 of my horses next to me but only 1 the game thinks is actually mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost some animal carcus because of this too...so not sure which is correct. But I've never had my horse duplicate so sorry friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
