There is a much easier way to get the Silver Dapple Pinto. All you need is the sniper rifle, to be on your own horse (the event won't spawn if you're not on it) and to go to Face Rock.
Stand on the lower cliff, and face the road below and aim with your sniper rifle. If you are on your horse, this event should always spawn (if for some reason it's not working, ride around the area for a bit, and if that's not working try reloading your game) Eventually, you'll soon see a lady needing a ride because her horse died. Her horse is a Silver Dapple Pinto.
Shoot and kill the lady, and both her and her horse will respawn.
Eventually, the horse will respawn alive and the lady will run away. Do not shoot her when this happens, or else this trick won't work. Run down the cliff towards it and never take your eyes off it, or else it'll despawn. Also, make sure you're not a horse whose head can get in the way of the scope, because that makes them despawn, too.
Thankfully, and fucking mercifully for me after everything I went through to get it the other way, you can mount the damn thing immediately and without having do anything. Ride it to the near Stables, and stable it, and that fucking thing is yours.
It might take several resets because of witnesses, weather, and the lady getting away if you miss a shot (this is why I recommend using express rounds and boosting your dead-eye beforehand), and your finger be sore from holding down the aim button for so long, but eventually you will get it.
It might be at the cost of your honor since you lose some every time you kill the lady, but at least it's not at the cost of your sanity like the Albert Mason way is.
Edit: By the way, this seems to work indefinitely. The event will keep happening around the area of Face Rock and Eris Field even if you've already obtained the horse with this method.I think it might even work if you take the lady back to her place, but I swore I had already done this before, and yet the event still happened. It doesn't. I tried it again in a save file where I knew for sure I had done this event already, and she never spawned. Don't waste your time. However, so long as you never actually the complete and actually interact directly with the lady, the event should always keep happening.
