🐎 LRRP Horse Catcher / Horse Breaking — FREE & PREMIUM

Turn the wilderness into your next stable. LRRP Horse Catcher brings networked wild horse herds, immersive horseback breaking and permanent caught-horse ownership to RedM — complete with a new HD Western Horse Breaking HUD. 🤠🐴

Built standalone-first, with VORP as the default framework and optional RSG Core support. No LRRP Jobs, LRRP Stables or LRRP Horse System is required.

🚫 No XP / Level Grind

Horse Catcher does not require a Horse Trainer level or XP system.

Difficulty comes from the horse itself. Breed configuration can control breaking duration, timing, success-zone difficulty and behaviour, meaning valuable horses can genuinely be harder to tame without forcing players through an XP grind.

🐎 Standalone Horse Storage

You don't need another LRRP horse resource just to use Horse Catcher.

The included standalone ownership system allows players to manage successfully caught horses, including:

/caughthorses — view caught horses
/caughthorse <id> — select a caught horse
/callcaught — call the selected horse
/storecaught — store the current caught horse

Already using another horse/stable system? 🔌 The configurable storage bridge can instead hand successful catches to LRRP Stables or another compatible/custom horse resource.

⚙️ Framework & Compatibility

VORP is the default framework.
RSG Core is also supported and can be selected through configuration.

Horse Catcher is designed to be standalone-first. LRRP systems are optional integrations rather than required dependencies.

VORP ✅ • RSG ✅ • Standalone Storage ✅ • LRRP integration ✅ • Custom horse/stable integrations ✅

📦 Requirements

• 🤠 RedM
• 🗄️ oxmysql
• ⚙️ VORP Core (default) or RSG Core

No mandatory LRRP resource dependency.

🛠️ Installation

1. Place LRRP_HorseCatcher inside your resources folder.
2. Import the included install.sql.
3. Set Config.Framework = 'vorp' or 'rsg'.
4. Configure the standalone/custom horse-storage options if required.
5. Ensure oxmysql and your selected framework start first.
6. Add:

ensure LRRP_HorseCatcher

Then configure your herds, breeds, breaking settings and optional integrations.

⚡ Performance & Resource Information

Horse spawning uses configurable herd/spawn logic, while the breaking NUI is displayed during active horse-breaking gameplay rather than operating as a permanent full-screen interface.

The current Premium build contains approximately 3,278 lines of Lua/NUI code. No custom 3D horse models, MLOs or maps are included; horses use Red Dead Redemption 2 game assets.

Before publishing the CFX topic, add a real resmon reading or profiler screenshot from your test server. CFX requires script releases to provide performance/resource-usage information, and I won't invent a measurement that hasn't actually been taken.
