Once you spot the horse, you’re going to need to lasso it and then go through the breaking process to actually ride it.  You will then need to work on bonding with the horse to get it to its best performance. Though it isn’t a Superior Horse, it is one of the most unique horses in the game.

The Arabian White Coat is a pretty horse.  All white, this horse can be found up in Grizzlies West on the Western banks of Lake Isabella. This gorgeous horse is hard to find but easy to spot as it is all white. Just like any other wild horse, to catch it, you need to lasso it before it tries to get away and then start the breaking process to make it your own.
