While taming the right horse is necessary for navigating the world of Red Dead Online, equipping your trusty steed with the right gear is just as important. Saddles are a great way to visually customize your horse, while also providing significant buffs to their stamina and health.

If you're looking to embark on a mission and upgrade your horse, check out our pick of the best saddles available in Red Dead Online.

If you’re just getting into the world of RDO and don’t know what saddle to buy, the Belanger is a great place to start. For just $217, you’ll give your horse a significant boost to its overall stats.

The best stat this saddle provides is a decrease in your Health Core Drain Rate, meaning your horse will be physically stronger. However, during this part of the game, it is usually more beneficial to buy a new horse instead of an upgraded saddle.
