The white Arabian Horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 is found in the snowy areas. The best place to look for one is near Lake Isabella. On the southwestern side of the lake, the horse comes to graze on a patch of greenery. It is the best place and time to approach and attempt to capture it.

Follow these steps to initiate the taming process:

To find the horse in the snow quickly, use Eagle Eye.
Step onto the ground and use the L2/LT key or any other respective input on your keyboard to lock onto the horse.
Make a call to the horse to see its "freak" meter on your screen.
Keep your eyes fixed on the meter as you gently approach the horse. Press square/A or the “walk” input on your keyboard as soon as the meter stops moving, even if it is just one millimeter.
If the horse bolts, locate it by tracking its footprints in the snow. The horse will freak twice when you approach. Once when you're close by, and again right away after that. The horse will also start going backward to make the distance between you and her.

After this comes the part where everyone ruins their attempts. To quiet the horse, the theoretical approach push the left joystick (L3), point it in the opposite direction of the animal's motion, and then hit square.

But here’s a tip to do the maneuver. Instead of following the horse’s movements, and trying to mirror the inputs, hold your left joystick at five o'clock or 45° in the down right or press the ↓→ inputs simultaneously on your keyboard. Doing this will automatically hold your character in its position. And eventually, Red Dead Redemption 2's Arabian Horse will calm down.
