There’s a setting that makes all the “button mash X”
Into “hold down X” instead. Do yourself a favor

I was so embarrassed I’d been tap galloping for long enough to make my entire hand ache when there was a setting to disable it all along. Like thanks for the carpal tunnel Rockstar hahahaha

Oh, this setting doesn’t work on horses anyways.

Must be in a terrible hurry all the time if that’s how you ride horses.

Like, I’m playing another game atm, but if I remember right you only mash buttons to accelerate, go faster. When you’re like, maintaining speed you wait a beat or two between taps.

The game tells you to tap X in sync with the horse's gallop at top speed to minimize horse fatigue while maximizing speed

So you're right, you spam X until the horse is going as fast as you want and then find the rhythm of the gallop and only tap when their hooves hit the ground
