AC’s horse looks better, but RDR2 horses feel and act more like real horses. Giving it to RDR2

R* had a whole department working on the horses for years. It took lots of work and time to get right. They really wanted them to feel like an animal with its own inertial physics and wanted to portray some of the different ways horses can behave. The different techniques you'd learn when bonding with the horse and the whole confidence system was quite cool.

Like how much horses love to run into trees at high speeds

That's 100% a skill problem. Even the fastest and most twitchy RDR2 horses ride through forests fine when you know how to play.
