Wild Horses, Tamed Passions

Learn how to lasso and break wild horses in Red Dead Redemption with this step-by-step guide. Master the art of taming to complete the 'Wild Horses, Tamed Passions' mission.

Alright, partner! We're heading back to Bonnie's place for a mission called 'Wild Horses, Tamed Passions.' This time, Bonnie's dad is joining us, and we're going to learn how to break in some wild horses. It's a pretty cool part of the story!

First things first, you'll need to head outside and follow Bonnie and her dad on your horse. Just ride along with them until you reach a field packed with wild horses. Your lasso should already be equipped, so keep an eye out.

When you get close enough to a horse, hold down LT/L2 and then press the fire button to lasso it around the neck. Now, here's the tricky part: keep holding the fire button down. You need to wait until either Bonnie or her dad also lassos a horse. Once they've got one, you can jump off your horse and get onto the wild one you just roped.

This new horse is going to fight back, kicking and flailing like crazy. To stay on, you need to push your analog stick in the opposite direction of how John is falling. If you see John's arms start to flap around, that's your cue that he's about to get thrown off. Quickly counter this by pushing the stick the other way to keep him balanced.

Keep this up for about 20 to 30 seconds, and if you manage to stay on, you'll have successfully tamed your first horse! Don't worry if it takes a couple of tries; it's all part of the learning process.

Once that first horse is broken in, you need to do it all over again for a second horse. This time, when you lasso the horse, make sure you keep holding down the fire button to keep the rope steady. Then, dismount your own horse and climb onto this second wild one.

Just like before, you'll need to tame it by pushing your analog stick in the opposite direction of the horse's attempts to buck you off. Once this second horse is tamed, dismount it, hop back on your own trusty steed, and follow Bonnie back home. You've just wrangled some wild ones!
