Which Mounts Rank Highest in The Wild West?
The Mustang is the top obtainable mount in the game due to its combination of five-star speed and five-star stamina. Priced at $30,000 at Callahan's Manor, it sports a light gray coat with a white mane and tail. While its health sits at three stars (105 HP), outrunning danger is far more reliable than absorbing gunfire. Scaling down your avatar alongside a small Mustang creates the second-smallest mounted target profile in the game, behind only the Mule. Players looking to fund this purchase early often finance it through our mining guide or by taking down high-value targets while hunting.
The skeleton horse is an event mount originally released during the 2020 Halloween update that holds the highest speed in the game. It possesses an abnormal six-star rating, which allows it to move roughly 50% faster than standard five-speed mounts. The primary operational drawback is that riders can summon it only during nighttime hours.
The wendigo horse is an event mount featuring maximum ratings of five stars in speed and five stars in health (140 HP). In addition to its full health pool, the mount carries a protective skull that covers its head, reducing vulnerability to incoming headshots.
The Hungarian Halfbred is a three-star mount costing $10,000 that matches the Mustang's five-star speed rating while carrying four stars of health (125 HP). It sacrifices one tick of stamina, leaving it with four stamina bars. For players who have not accumulated $30,000, this horse serves as the fastest direct alternative.
The American Quarter Horse is a balanced three-star horse priced at $10,000 that provides five stamina bars alongside four speed and four health. It offers sustained sprint duration for pursuing bounties across open terrain, making it a reliable pick when following a beginners guide path toward end-game equipment.
Where Can You Buy the Best Horses?
Callahan's Manor is the exclusive purchase location for all standard three-star horses, located across the map from Bronze City. While standard stables in Bronze City, Puerto Dorado, Outlaw's Perch, and Windmill Camp provide one-star and two-star options, the top-tier stable at Callahan's Manor stocks the four primary high-tier breeds:
- Mustang: $30,000 (5 Speed, 3 Health, 5 Stamina)
- Hungarian Halfbred: $10,000 (5 Speed, 4 Health, 4 Stamina)
- American Quarter Horse: $10,000 (4 Speed, 4 Health, 5 Stamina)
- American Standardbred: $10,000 (4 Speed, 5 Health, 4 Stamina)
According to the Mustang page on Fandom, the stable inventory at Callahan's Manor requires direct cash payment without level locks.
Mount Selection and Stat Comparison
Mount tiers are structured across three star ratings that determine base health, speed limits, and stamina capacities. Choosing the correct mount depends on whether your activities focus on town travel, high-speed escapes, or sustained tracking.
| Mount Option | Ideal Gameplay Situation | Trade-Off and Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Mustang | Long-distance transit and escaping combat encounters | Lower health pool (105 HP); costs $30,000 at Callahan's Manor |
| Hungarian Halfbred | High-velocity travel on a lower budget | Possesses 4 stamina instead of 5; costs $10,000 |
| American Quarter Horse | Extended pursuits requiring continuous sprinting | Capped at 4 speed; costs $10,000 |
| Mule | Starter mobility for new players in Bronze City | Lowest base speed in the game; costs $100 |
Detailed stat entries from the Horse documentation on Fandom confirm that horse health tiers scale from 60 HP at base (0/5) up to 140 HP at maximum (5/5). Because firearms deal an additional 2x headshot multiplier on horseback targets, high health pools rarely protect a stationary rider from rifles. Speed and stamina remain the decisive attributes.
How Do Horse Combat Mechanics Work?
Horse combat mechanics are governed by momentum damage, spur consumption, and vulnerability to headshots. Pressing the shift key consumes a spur icon to initiate a sprint. Attempting to sprint with empty stamina triggers a red flash and screen shake; making a second consecutive attempt before spurs regenerate causes the horse to collapse, ragdolling the rider.
Horse ramming inflicts 20 damage on struck players or humanoid NPCs while sprinting, ragdolling the target, the attacker, and the horse simultaneously. Ramming does not affect wild animals or explosive barrels.
Mounts stand up shortly after being downed in combat. However, if a player uncalls a horse that has collapsed under fire, a cooldown lasting up to 15 seconds prevents summoning any mount. While horseback riding reduces firearm accuracy, players can seat a second person behind the saddle by holding the interact prompt, allowing the passenger to fire weapons without accuracy penalties.
