Guide tells you how to get horse bonding from level 1 to level 4 in just 30 minutes of play time!
Leading Horse West of Van Horn
All you have to do is target the horse you want to level to 4 bonding level and choose to lead it.
Below I show the most ideal leading location, this is one of the longest safest most secluded straight tracks in the game and no trains spawn there.
The idea is to go from one side to the other leading the horse in a straight line.
Horse bonding levels only during Free Roam. It won’t level during Legendary Bounties, and other missions that create their own lobbies. If you level your bonding there after the mission end it will be returned to the level it was prior to when mission started.
You can also buy the Javelina Tusk Trinket trinket from Gus if you have Naturalist role unlocked. It forever speeds up bonding by 10% and costs $500 and requries the following ingredients: 1 x Javelina Tusk, 1 x Elliston Carved Bracelet
I suggest putting something heavy on the W key, like a heavy die or some other heavy but small object that can hold the key down. Then you will only have to aim a straight line with your mouse. Once your character reaches the end just use the mouse to turn around and sit back and relax.
I managed to reach maximum bonding level with all 10 of my horses, taking about 30 minutes each. I was able to read during this time, only checking occasionally to adjust their direction or path. Since there aren’t many players in the game sessions now, you might encounter predator animals that could attack you. Before the sessions became empty, I rarely saw other players in this area. Sometimes the horse will keep running straight even if you step away briefly, but other times it might get stuck on obstacles.
So this is a very efficient way to level a horse instead of feeding, brushing and riding it for hours, especially if you have many horses that need leveling. Saves you money from feeding too.
