Here you can find the white Arab & so you tame him
Your stock Horseshoe Overlook is located in Chapter 2 at the circled position. The white Arab can be found northwest of it, at Lake Isabella (red cross).
The white Arab can be found on the west side of Lake Isabella. The horse is a loner and quite shy. Before you dare to tame it, you should cache it for safety's sake. Because: Once the horse has disappeared into the wild, it is not so easy to find again.
Here are some useful tips for successful taming:
- Pack your winter clothes because Lake Isabella is pretty cold.
- Search on the west side of the lake from afar for the white Arab. As soon as you see the horse, approach it carefully in a crouched position. Hold down the L2 or LT key.
- Pay attention to the bottom right of the screen. Call the horse with the square or X button as soon as the option becomes available.
- Approach yourself very carefully, still holding down the shoulder button. Bottom right should now appear a bar. This must never fall to zero, otherwise the horse flees. Therefore, whenever you have the opportunity, press the square or X button to calm down the white Arab.
- If you are close enough to the horse, press the triangle or Y button to sit up. Now you must not throw yourself off.
- In each case, press the left analog stick in the opposite direction to the horse's direction of motion to calm it down. If the horse rears up, you push the analogue stick backwards.
- Do this until the white Arab calms down and the message appears that the horse has been tamed. Now you can ride the horse for a while or pet it to increase the bond.
- When the message appears that your bond has increased, you can summon your previous horse and lay his saddle on the white Arab.
