There are many modes of transportation in Far Cry 6 and the game makes it easier than ever to obtain a ride simply by summoning one from the selection wheel. There’s undoubtedly an almost endless list of cool vehicles to use the game from quad bikes to tanks but the most useful are the horses.
The horse can cover most terrains with ease and make exploring the map in Far Cry 6 a breeze. They are also great at getting to high vantage points to help Dani scan a base, mark targets, and snipe out enemies with ease. In addition to the wild horses like Madrugardian Horse which can also be found early in the game, there are tamed horses bred for the military like the Spanish Marchador
Where To Find The Spanish Marchador
The Spanish Marchador is a powerful horse that can be found early in the game at the Prado Meadows on Isla Santuario. Even though wild horses like the Madrugardian can be captured by using the scanning device on Dani’s phone, that isn’t the case for the Spanish Marchador. This is because it’s classified as a “military vehicle”. When attempting to scan the horse the player will get the message “Can’t scan military vehicles”.
As a result, the player needs to approach it and mount the horse by pressing the X on the Xbox or the Square button on the PlayStation. As it's a tamed horse, the Marchador is used to human contact so there is no sneaking required this time.
The Fastest Way To Obtain The Marchador
There may be occasions where Dani will randomly encounter Castillo's military personnel patrolling the area on a Spanish Marchador. In this case, just take down the enemy, steal his horse and ride it to the nearest Horse Pick Up point.
However, a surefire way of obtaining the Spanish Marchador early is by working through the Libertad Rises mission. Doing so will take Dani to a military-occupied Anti-Aircraft site in Iota on the Cayo Seguro Penninsula region of Prado Meadows.
There should be several unmanned Spanish Marchador horses dotted around the base ready for the taking.
The player will then need to ride the horse to the nearest Horse Pickup point on the map. Thankfully, there is one in the area just north of the Santuario Wetlands or South of where Dani disarmed the Anti Aircraft Site Iota.
Unfortunately, the Spanish Marchador has a uniform color of black and doesn't have any customizable coats like the default La Palmera and Madrugadian horses. However, it's still a worthy addition to the collection for completists.
Far Cry 6 is available now on the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
