Ardennes war horse

[Minimoni]

Hello all! Today I started a third round of the story to be played alongside my other “total completion” save. I am not sure if my age and/or memory is playing tricks with my mind but on the mission when Arthur goes to hunt with Hosea, Arthur is also getting the option to buy a new horse. All this played out just as normal except that I could also buy a huge war horse with great stats for $ 0.00. I have not been able to do this on previous runs and that is why I am really thinking it is a glitch and that I by some strange event got acces to a special edition horse or something like that. The horse can not be sold either, even if I try as I do not like the huge horses. 

 

So, is this a glitch or something introduced with the patches or did I by mistake get acces to a special edition horse by som strange event? Anyhow, the horse will not be used as I love having the Arabians and Turkomans but it do take up space in my stable.

Not sure.  I got the War Horse for pre-ordering, maybe they made it available for everyone.

Sounds like they are giving you the pre-order horse. Is it grey?

I also did the pre-order and it came with the war horse and a strange spotted thoroughbred. If you really don't want those horses (and believe I understand as you can get better ones pretty fast in the game) since you can't sell, here is what I did. I was on the thoroughbred that I couldn't sell or get rid of and I tamed a wild horse then I switched saddles from the thoroughbred and put it on the newly tamed horse. Then I left the thoroughbred there. Instead of whistling at him and having him follow me as the (secondary horse). Eventually he was out of "whistle distance" and eventually it went away. Fast forward a few days and now when I go to stable it shows the thoroughbred and war horse as horses I can "buy" for $0.00 so you technically never get rid of them but they also aren't taking up space in your stable.

Hope this helps.

If all else fails you can do what my buddy did, he couldn't get rid of these "free horse" so he parked it on the train tracks. That did the trick.

Yup, it is indeed grey. I just feel it is weird that I got it since I bought the normal edition albeit preordered of course. And this is my third run with the main story and I did not get the horse on the other two runs. 

 

Anyway, thanks for all advices!

I'm on my second playthrough and got this horse, I too just bought the standard game.  It's stuck in my stable, but I didn't think to off it for some reason. I think a trip to the railway line is imminent.
