QuestionWhen I try and catch a wild horse, it doesn't let me catch it. They just keep running away from me. What can I do?
Community AnswerIt is very important to hold in the left trigger button (xBox) to keep the lasso around the horse's neck. Otherwise, it falls off. You can keep the lasso on by holding the trigger while dismounting your horse and walking up to the wild horse. Keep holding the trigger as you mount the wild horse. -
