How do I unlock the Horse Fence to sell stolen horses?

To unlock the Horse Fence in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must progress through the main story and complete a specific mission tied to the character Clay Davies. The Horse Fence is a unique vendor who allows you to sell stolen horses, which is otherwise not possible at regular stables. This feature becomes available during Chapter 3 of the game, specifically after completing the mission ''Horse Flesh for Dinner.''\n\nTo begin, ensure you have reached Chapter 3 of the story. This chapter takes place at Clemens Point, the gang''s camp near Rhodes. The mission ''Horse Flesh for Dinner'' is given by Dutch van der Linde and involves stealing horses from the Braithwaite family. Completing this mission introduces you to Clay Davies, who operates the Horse Fence. Once the mission is finished, the Horse Fence becomes a permanent option for selling stolen horses.\n\nThe Horse Fence is located near Clemens Point, specifically at a small camp in the Bayou Nwa region, close to the town of Rhodes. To sell a stolen horse, you must first tame or steal one. Approach a wild horse or an unattended horse in a town or settlement. Use your lasso to calm the horse, then mount it and break it by calming it repeatedly as it bucks. Once the horse is tamed, ride it to the Horse Fence.\n\nWhen selling a stolen horse, keep in mind that the value depends on the horse''s breed, condition, and rarity. High-quality horses like Arabians or Thoroughbreds fetch higher prices. However, selling stolen horses carries risks. If lawmen or witnesses see you stealing a horse, you may gain a bounty or be pursued. To avoid this, steal horses in secluded areas or at night when fewer people are around.\n\nA common challenge is losing the stolen horse before reaching the Horse Fence. To prevent this, bond with the horse by feeding it, brushing it, and leading it for a short distance. This increases its loyalty and reduces the chance of it running away. Additionally, avoid fast travel or leaving the horse unattended in populated areas, as it may despawn or be reclaimed by NPCs.\n\nFor new players, it’s important to note that the Horse Fence is only accessible after completing the required mission. Until then, stolen horses cannot be sold, and attempting to do so at regular stables will result in rejection. Experienced players can maximize profits by targeting high-value horses and using stealth to avoid detection.\n\nIn summary, unlocking the Horse Fence requires progressing to Chapter 3 and completing the ''Horse Flesh for Dinner'' mission. Once unlocked, you can sell stolen horses at the Horse Fence near Rhodes. Focus on taming or stealing high-value horses, bond with them to prevent escape, and use stealth to avoid bounties. This mechanic adds a lucrative and immersive layer to the game’s economy and horse management systems.
