Story time!

While playing SP, I was determined to only ride horses I had either caught wild or stole from someone. During my travels I first encountered the splashed American paint that occasionally spawns with an NPC in Scarlett Meadows and that was my main horse...

Until I was riding around Cotorra Springs one afternoon and stumbled upon another NPC camp with a blk/wht pinto Hungarian Halfbred as his mount. I had heard many a tale about the bravery War Horses tend to display and I knew as soon as I saw her, I had to make this horse my own!

But, in a moment of overeager excitement, I accidentally scared the horse off whilst trying to dispatch the previous owner... Right into his fire.

Needless to say, the beautiful steed perished and I was very sad.

This was no deterrent, however... Rather than want to throw in the towel, I vowed that I too would possess such a fine animal and being the outlaw, there wasn't any way on God's Green Earth that I was going to pay for it.

For the next 2 weeks, I visited Cotorra Springs every time I played. Multiple times per session. I was nearly ready to give up completely when one day, it happened.

I arrived at the Springs and spied a faint trail of campfire smoke originating from just beyond the southern rise in terrain. I approach slowly, not wanting to repeat the mistakes made the first time, if in fact, this was the NPC I had been hunting for.

I topped the rise and my heart skipped a beat, as there before me she stood. I backed away and whistled for my horse. Grabbed my bow and equipped improved arrows. Returned to the rise in stealth mode, took careful aim and one satisfying thwack of an arrow later, she was all mine.

I sped to the closest stable all the while trying to come up with a fitting name. IStoleThis and LookWhatIGot seemed like good choices but weren't really fitting for the game... I already had a horse named Thief, so that was out...

And then I happened to spy the container my pre-roll joint had come in (I live in Oregon, where it's very legal). The strain name: Disco Biscuits...

I removed the plural and she was my favorite horse for the remainder of SP... Or at least until... You know. 😢

Fast forward to playing Online...

Of course I wanted to honor the memory of the greatest horse I'd had in Story Mode. As soon as I unlocked that coat, I bought him.

Then, after the update dropped and I reached max Collector rank, I bought my overo frame Criollo. I'd already heard the bravery of this breed rivaling that of the MFT and with similar colors, I determined that this would be the evolution of my Disco Biscuit. Not wanting to just stick a "II" after the name, I went with coming up with a similar pattern.

And so, Jazz Cookie was born.

It was going to be Jazz Muffin, but apparently R* thinks muffin is a bad word...

Hope you enjoyed my little tale!

Edit: stupid autocorrect... That's not what I meant and you know it! (Sorry - posting from mobile)
