The horse exploit is a broken timeline exploit in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. You may have noticed some things in the game like how it keeps track of how much ammo your ranged weapons have, and also when you replay memories you seem to have a different weapon equipped. It's because the game keeps track of these things when it auto saves.
The horse exploit allows you to start the checkpoint of the mission on a horse. To do this get on a horse when you have to assassinate the Baron and have it auto save (it auto saves when you fail the five minute full synchronization). Then get detected to restart from the last checkpoint and you will appear on a horse! I show a blitz using the horse. This isn't the fastest possible assassination, just an example. It might be possible to do a super fast blitz by using a ranged weapon on the horse since you are able to aim above the stairs while riding it. However I haven't been able to kill the Baron like that, especially since it's hard to aim manually while on the horse. If it is possible the Baron can be killed in just a few seconds.
I also show something funny afterward. The hostage can have a heavy or long weapon in her during the scene after the assassination. First distract the Baron with a smoke bomb or money, then equip the weapon, hold down the button, call assassin recruits or arrow storm, then let go of the button right before the Baron dies. You'll likely hear the sound of the weapon hitting someone when this works. Make sure the hostage is between you two or you might accidentally throw the weapon at the Baron. Now enjoy the hilarity with a whole scene of an impaled character. Afterward the weapon falls to the ground when she disappears.
nice job as usual. i dont think a ranged weapon will work from the horse because most of them have limited range. for example, the gun doesnt shoot that far without locking on. throwing knives will work, but it takes 4 hits to kill the baron, which is incredibly difficult to execute while mounted. the fastest blitz ive managed is using the horse to charge in and air assassinate from the horse.
I think your nearly on Ians level when it comes to finding these exploits

Why thanks! Remember most of the exploits I've done are based off exploits other people have found. For example this is based off Ianxo4's exploits on Michellito and Cesare.

Oh, that explains why I couldn't get him. Perhaps the fastest blitz would be to use a ranged weapon when your in range to lock on. The crossbow, gun or poison darts might work best. You would probably have to run in between the pillars so you don't accidentally target other enemies.
dont be silly, jack. hes better!
Who is this "hes" guy? He must be very cool (and with a darkly tanned body of course) . I hope to meet him.

I believe this says everything:
Ezio:"It was all your husband's idea."
Bartholomeo "It was?"
O the hilarity!
Fantastic! And hilarious!
