The Ghost of Tsushima horse choice is given to you at the end of the tutorial, where you're shown several steeds and told to pick one and name it accordingly. Aside from the horse's colours, it's not clear what the difference between them is - if any - and considering that it feels like a pretty permanent choice, it's worth taking seriously. If you're wondering what this means for your playthrough, read on for our complete Ghost of Tsushima horse guide.
Ghost of Tsushima horses explained
After Yuna has led you through the Mongol camp right at the start, and you've retrieved both your sword and Armour, you'll reach the stables. This is the end of the first section of the tutorial, and when Ghost of Tsushima really starts to open up.
When you get to the stables, you first need to decide which color horse you want; black, white, or dapple. There are no differences between the horses. Every horse gallops at the same speed, your choice is simply your personal preference.
You'll then also need to pick a name for your horse and once again, this doesn't have any effect on gameplay. Jin will call your horse by its name every now and then, but that's all. Your horse also cannot die in regular gameplay so don't worry about it succumbing to Mongols or bandits.
Ghost of Tsushima Digital Deluxe horse
If you've got the Digital Deluxe Edition of Ghost of Tsushima, you get access to the brown horse. Again, it has no stat bonuses over the other horses, but is a lovely shade of brown. When you reach the stables, the brown horse should be an extra option alongside the other three, at the end.
