How do I unlock the Horse Fence for stolen horses?

To unlock the Horse Fence in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must progress through the main story and complete a specific mission. The Horse Fence is a unique feature that allows you to sell stolen horses, which is otherwise not possible at regular stables. This mechanic is tied to the story and becomes available during Chapter 3 of the game.\n\nTo unlock the Horse Fence, you need to complete the mission ''Horse Flesh for Dinner.'' This mission is given by Dutch van der Linde and involves stealing horses from the Braithwaite family. During the mission, you will meet a character named Clay Davies, who operates the Horse Fence. After completing this mission, the Horse Fence becomes permanently available for selling stolen horses.\n\nOnce unlocked, the Horse Fence is located near Clemens Point, your camp during Chapter 3. The exact location is marked on your map with a horse icon. To sell a stolen horse, simply ride it to the Horse Fence and interact with Clay Davies. The value of the horse depends on its breed, condition, and bonding level. Higher-quality horses, such as Arabians or Thoroughbreds, fetch a higher price.\n\nA common challenge players face is bonding with stolen horses before selling them. Bonding increases the horse''s value, but it also makes it harder to sell since bonded horses are considered ''owned.'' To avoid this, do not bond with the horse by feeding, brushing, or leading it. Instead, steal the horse and ride it directly to the Horse Fence without forming any attachment.\n\nAnother tip is to target high-value horses in specific locations. For example, the Saint Denis area often spawns rare breeds like the Arabian or Turkoman. These horses can be found near stables or wandering the streets. Use stealth to avoid drawing attention when stealing horses in populated areas, as lawmen will pursue you if caught.\n\nGame mechanics also play a role in maximizing profits. Horses with better stats, such as speed and stamina, sell for more. Additionally, horses in good health and with clean coats fetch higher prices. Use horse tonics or brush the horse to improve its condition before selling. However, avoid bonding if you plan to sell it immediately.\n\nFor new players, it''s important to note that the Horse Fence is only available after completing the required mission. Until then, stolen horses cannot be sold and must be released or abandoned. Experienced players can use the Horse Fence as a reliable source of income, especially when targeting rare breeds in high-value areas.\n\nIn summary, unlock the Horse Fence by completing ''Horse Flesh for Dinner'' in Chapter 3. Steal high-value horses without bonding, improve their condition, and sell them to Clay Davies for maximum profit. Use stealth to avoid lawmen and focus on rare breeds in areas like Saint Denis for the best returns.
