Red Dead Redemption 2: 14 MORE Pointless Details That'll Blow Your Mind

4. Horses Poop More If You Overfeed Them

As mentioned previously, everyone lost their damn minds when they found out that horse testicles shrink in the cold in RDR 2, but Rockstar's dedication to making the virtual animals as real as possible didn't stop there. Like in real life they need to digest their food, and consequently if they're just chilling they're likely to poop on the ground - fair enough, if a horse has got to go, a horse has got to go.

While other games, including Metal Gear Solid V, included the same "feature", Rockstar, as always, have taken this one step further. The rate of a horse's bowel movements is dictated by how much you feed them. As you can imagine, a malnourished horse barely ever has to go, while an overfed one will be dropping deuces like it's nobody's business.
