Where to find a horse brush in Red Dead Redemption 2
Cleaning the dirt and grime off your horse requires finding and using a horse brush.
A cowboy’s horse is his most valuable asset next to his gun, so taking care of it is of utmost importance. One way to care for and bond with a horse is to brush it, though knowing where to find a horse brush early in Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t exactly clear.
Where to find a horse brush
To get a horse brush, players will need to start up a hunting quest with Hosea after reaching Valentine for the first time. This hunting quest is called Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego, it tasks players with tracking down a large game animal.
- Arrive at Horseshore Overlook
- Head to the town of Valentine with Uncle
- Return to the campsite and speak with Hosea
- Head into Valentine with Hosea
Hosea will ask the player to take the Shire horse into town to sell it, and to purchase another horse at the stables. There is a horse that can be purchased for zero dollars, which will save players a bit of cash early on in the game.
After purchasing the horse and any extras, players will be given a horse brush as part of the transaction. This horse brush can be used on any horse by simply approaching a horse (preferably one that is owned), holding left trigger, and then pressing left on the d-pad. Brushing a horse will clean off any grime and muck and restore the horse to its fully functioning condition.
