How to unlock the Buckin' Awesome achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide
The Kentucky Saddler - A golden-colored horse with yellow/gold hair, this one can be broken during a quest/mission that you do at Bonnie's ranch. When you go out to break horses with her and her father, she will tell you to break a golden-colored horse. That is the Kentucky Saddler. thanks to geegers78 for pointing out that after this mission the deed will be available but you may still need to break another saddler.
Hungarian Half-Bred - A white/grey-colored horse with a black nose, this one can typically be found in a plain to the east of Escalera. If you look on your map in-game, you'll see this plain marked with three running horses on it. You can also find them in the far east of Mexico, out by El Matadero and Casa Madrugada. Also, as pointed out by Jack Burton, you have to break a Hungarian Half-bred for the stranger task: Love is the Opiate. thank you.
American Standardbred - A completely black horse, this one can typically be found in a plain to the south of Beecher's Hope in West Elizabeth and occasionally in Tall Trees.
Again, these are the MOST COMMON places to find these horses. It does not mean they are the ONLY places. Rarely, you might find one of these horses accidentally mixed into the fold in New Austin or West Elizabeth. Credit goes to Jakob187 for the clarity.
In the event that the achievement does not pop upon breaking the last horse it is suggested you first check for the three specific horse deeds at any general store. If they are all there then simply go out horse hunting and break them all again and it should pop as CHEEZUS points out. You can't just buy the deeds, you have to break the horses.

The American Standardbred are in the Great Plains and Tall Trees. This horse is lean and black in color. I found mine south of Beecher's Hope and Dixon's Crossing.
The Hungarian Half-bred’s are most commonly found in (and all over) Mexico. It's white in color with a black face. Look in in Nuevo Paraiso, Mexico (North East of Torquemada; or above "Coronas" of Diez Coronas on the map), usually found roaming alone, away from other herds.
A description of what each horse looks can be found at the local market seller and at the bottom of the list to buy it has horses, the bottom 3 are the rare ones which you have to find. Press Y for info.
Thanks @biggerballblat

FYI: THIS ACHIEVEMENT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS GLITCHED. PLEASE READ THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS BEFORE VOTING NEGATIVELY. Thanks!
it should also be noted, even though you break the kentucky saddler in the "tamed passions" mission with bonnie, YOU STILL NEED TO FINE ONE TO BREAK IN THE WILD in order to unlock this achv.
The kentucky saddler is golden/blonde pearl in color and can be found near new austin and east of macfarlane's ranch.
fyi, the kentucky's deed will be available to purchase in the store after you complete the mission so that's not a good method to checking off whether you have broke it or not. i suggest you find and break the kentucky again, from the wild, soon after finishing the 'tamed passions' mission so you know what you're looking for. ;)

All credit goes to Rooster Teeth.
Before you can attempt this you will need to earn the lasso and complete the tutorial mission "Wild Horses, Tamed Passions". This mission will show you how to lasso and break a horse. Once you have completed the tutorial you can then proceed to find the horses required for this achievement.
Kentucky Saddler: (Story Related)
This horse is a pale golden colour, you will be rewarded with this horse for completed the "Wild Horses, Tamed Passions" mission.
American Standardbred: (Great Plains/Tall Trees)
The Standardbred stands out from the rest of the horses due to its black colour. This is probably the most obvious horse in a herd.
Hungarian Half-bred: (Mexico)
This horse tends to blend in with other horses due to its white colouring and dark face. Some of the other pale coloured horses look the same from a distance.
All three horses can only be found in specific locations. If you aren't sure if you already broken one of them then check a general store, if you are able to purchase any of the three horses then it means you've already broken (tamed) it.
It's rare but this trophy can sometimes glitch and not unlock when you meet the requirements. It seems that when you first break the Kentucky Saddler in the "Wild Horses, Tamed Passions" mission, it does not count for this trophy. To fix this just go south of MacFarlane's Ranch to break it again.
- The Kentucky Saddler is actually quite common in McFarlane's Ranch and you will probably break one early on in the game. It has a white face and is a brown, black or light brown horse.
- Hungarian Half-Bred can be only found in Mexico and is common around the Diez Coronas area. Usually travels with other horses. It's a little bigger than other horse's and it's greyish white with a dark face.
- American Standardbred is all black and a little bigger than other horses. It looks really healthy compared to most horses and you will instantly recognize it during the day. It can be found all across Beecher's Hope and the Great Plains area.
American Trotter
Kentucky Horse
Hungarian half-breed - white, grazing in Mexico, a little to the right on the map from Diez Coronas.
American Trotter - black, grazing on the Great Plains, near the Blackwater. I noticed that it was only during the day.
Kentucky Horse - golden, grazing on top of the map from Armadillo, there is also a gallows tree nearby.
All horses can be caught anywhere. If you see it, tame it right away, no need to tie it.
