How to Revive Horses in RDR2?

To revive horses in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need the right kind of consumable. Specifically, you want to have a Horse Reviver on hand. They don’t cost too much, somewhere to the tune of ten dollars, and you should always have at least one in your inventory. Having your horse die on you doesn’t really impact your gameplay too badly, but it’s still a huge pain in the blubber. This goes over double for when you already have a strong bond with your horse; you don’t want all of that time and work to go up in smoke.

If your enemies, be it wild animals, bounty hunters, or what have you, manages to down your horse, it’s best you act fast. Use the Horse Reviver on your horse as soon as possible. Approach your horse and hold Triangle on PS4 or Y if you’re on Xbox. This is why you always want to have a bare minimum of one RDR 2 Horse Reviver in your inventory at absolutely all times.

You can have up to 99 Revivers in your inventory, so you really have no excuse to not have a couple on you.

Where to Find RDR 2 Horse Reviver Locations & How to Get Them?

To find and get Horse Revivers in Red Dead Redemption 2, you fortunately don’t have to go too out of your way. In fact, you can purchase Horse Revivers in any stable or general store in major towns that you come across. AS we’ve mentioned above, one will cost you around $10 ($9.50, to be exact). You can ostensibly find Horse Revivers while out in the wilderness; say, while raiding a rival gang hideout. However, the stables and general stores are likely going to be your most reliable source of Horse Revivers. In general stores, you have to go under the Horse Care tab in the catalog.

To find stables more easily, you can hit X on Xbox or Square on PlayStation on the World Map screen to bring up the list of stables by scrolling down to the appropriate icon. All you have to do from there is flip through the list (left or right on the D-pad) and find which one is the most convenient for you to get RDR 2 Horse Revivers at.
