Red Dead Riding Horses

🐎 Welcome to the Red Dead Redemption Horse Ride Mod

These files are specially prepared for fans of the horses in Red Dead Redemption 2. You can have your current horse wear any coat color you want (by renaming the desired coat color file to the name of the horse you own), or have any horse have another body by placing the required files into the stream folder (see "How to Install" for details).

🐴 Other types of modules

  • Red Dead Draft Horse
  • Red Dead Multiclass Horse
  • Red Dead Race Horse
  • Red Dead War Horse

---

⚙️ Installation requirements

  • Lenny's mod loader (see requirements section for details)
  • The "version.dll" file in Lenny's simple trainer (see the requirements section for details)

**IMPORTANT NOTE:** If you are installing the above mods for the first time, be sure to follow their instructions carefully. Without placing "version.dll" into the root folder, newer online coat colors will not load correctly in story mode, which will cause your horse to be partially invisible!

📁 Installation method

Unzip the required files and place them into the *Red Dead Redemption 2/lml/stream* folder. If the stream folder does not exist, you need to create it yourself.

*Do not put the .rar compressed package into the stream folder*

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

  • These are not custom coat colors, they are the ones originally created by R*, I only changed the body type
  • These are **purely cosmetic** modifications and **do not** affect horse attributes or people's reactions to horses
  • Feel free to use and modify these files for experimentation
  • The author only knows German, English and a little French

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
