In Ghost of Yotei, choosing a horse is a cosmetic and permanent decision made during the "Old Trails" quest. Players can pick from several horses—Dapple, Black, White, and Brown (the Brown horse is exclusive to Digital Deluxe edition owners). The horses have no differences in stats or performance, so the choice is purely based on which appearance and name the player prefers. Once chosen, the horse cannot be swapped or renamed later in the game. The horse is invincible during normal gameplay and can be summoned at any time.
How to Choose a Horse
- Complete the "Old Trails" quest, which starts by revisiting Atsu’s childhood home.
- After clearing some bandits and exploring memories, players will be able to pick one horse from the available options.
- Choose based on preferred color and name (names like Shimaki "Tornado," Mochizuki "Full Moon," and Homura "Flame" are options).
- The choice affects only aesthetics and role-play dialogue where Atsu uses the horse's name.
Horse Options
Horse Color| Notes

White| Classic look
Black| Sleek appearance, often liked for its dark tone
Dapple (Mottled gray)| Unique pattern, stands out visually
Brown| Available only for Digital Deluxe owners
Ultimately, the best horse to choose in Ghost of Yotei is the one that appeals most visually and fits the player's role-playing style since gameplay stats and handling are identical among all options.
