📋 About This Mod
I was a little upset with the horse sprint button on the controller. Instead of a relaxed button hold like on the keyboard, you are forced to periodically tap A (×) to sprint your horse on a pad. So after dozens of experiments and compiled files, I managed to create my first mod.
As a side effect, this mod removes horse speed limits in towns and on bridges. The mod is incompatible with Remove horse speed limit (RHSL) by alfabravozapa. Please use either RHSL or this mod, but not both.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 733 endorsements and over 30k downloads
- Fixes a real annoyance for controller players—no more button mashing
- Simple install: just drop the .asi file into your RDR2 folder after Script Hook
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with Remove Horse Speed Limit (RHSL) by alfabravozapa—you must choose one
- Only works in singleplayer, so no benefit in Red Dead Online
- Doesn't apply to wagons or carts, so you'll still tap for those
For RDR2 players on controller who hate tapping the sprint button and want a keyboard-like hold-to-sprint experience. Also for those who don't mind losing speed limits in towns—if you want that speed limit removal anyway, this mod does double duty. Skip if you play online or use the other speed limit mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you install Script Hook RDR2 first—copy ScriptHookRDR2.dll and dinput8.dll to your RDR2 folder before adding HorseSprint-v2.asi.
- If you already have Remove Horse Speed Limit installed, uninstall it before using this mod to avoid conflicts.
- Test the sprint on your horse in singleplayer—if it doesn't work, double-check that the .asi file is in the same folder as the Script Hook files.
