Free Roam missing horse?

[Nomad]

Everytime I log onto free roam I have no horse and have to find a stable to retrieve my Arabian.  Can I set it so I load the game with horse?

[YodaMan 3D]

It should be automatic.  There seems to be an issue where the horse doesn't respawn when it should.  If I was you I would report it to Rockstar.

I hope this doesn't come across like i'm telling you something obvious, but when you load in to free roam do you whistle for your horse and it doesn't spawn in and come to you?

[Nomad]

Yeah, I whistle and it says no horse available and that it is sending me scrawny rag, which I have to use to find a stable and retrieve the Arabian.

When I spawn in, 1st thing I do is look for my horse.  If I don't see it I whistle for it.

That must be rather annoying to say the least. Guess it needs reporting to Rockstar as Yodaman said. I've not had this happen to me so far...

Alright, if you do own another horse, this means your horse died... yet he is alive in stables? YES, this is a bug, what I'm about to show is cruel but gets your horse back...a good way to get around is like this:

Posting the video on spoilers the audio sucks, so if you wish follow the steps below...
 

Spoiler

 

1. Call the Scrawny Nag.
2. Go full speed into a wall, until it get critically injuried.
3. Mercy kill.
4. Left on d-pad, go to Stables, select owned horses, and pay the vet.
5. Whistle again, your owned horse should show up.
