When Arthur Morgan dies, you will unfortunately lose all the horses that he owned, including Buell, as they are tied to his character and do not transfer over to John Marston. This means that any unique horses that Arthur had, such as Buell, will be lost forever and cannot be retrieved or transferred to John.
