It's my understanding that each horse has it's owns attributes, namely speed and stamina.  Is there any way to see the stats of the horse you're currently riding?   
 
My first one died after I jumped it off a cliff (totally worth it though, so much fun) and I'm trying to find a solid replacement.

I dunno yet (im european) but im getting limited edition (so i get the power horsey). But i wondered what if the power horse died is there a way to get it back ??

How much horsepower does your horse have?

" How much horsepower does your horse have? "

I was wondering that too. I know in the store they are classified and priced by speed. There really should be a way.  
 
Also is there a way to know what kind of horse you're riding? I know for a fact there are different breeds, but idk what kind I am riding.

Keep doing the main story missions. You get a good horse in the same mission you get your lasso, which lets you wrangle wild horses with better stats than the crappy steeds people park in town.  I don't think there is a way to compare horse statistics. I think the only variables though are speed and stamina, but I could be wrong. "

" @Darksaw: Yeah also ive heard you have to unlock the deadly assasins outfit (im thinking wtf? about that) but do you have to capture the horse before you can ride it too ? and the golden gun thing, will it be on ALL your weapons ?  "
