This is, I think, the relevant list of warhorses as of 2015 (sorry Gaslightstreet if it's the same as yours, I didn't look at earlier postings).

This is, I think, the relevant list of warhorses as of 2015 (sorry Gaslightstreet if it's the same as yours, I didn't look at earlier postings). Which means that songs from this list will make up for 80-90 percent of the setlist on any given concert night. What I'm hoping for is that they ditched some of the warhorses to make a setlist consisting of, maybe, 50-60 percent warhorses. But, yeah, I know that is not going to happen...
1) Satisfaction 2) JJ Flash 3) Brown Sugar 4) Start Me Up 5) Midnight Rambler 6) Tumbling Dice 7) Honky Tonk Women 8) Gimme Shelter
9) Sympathy for the Devil 10) You can't always Get What You Want 11) Miss You 12) Happy 13) Before They Make Me Run 14) It's only R&R
15) You Got Me Rocking 16) Wild Horses 17) Paint it Black

YGMR has been played on every tour since 1994, which makes it a new warhorse.

Can a song that has been played twice during 15-date tour be considered a 'warhorse'?

It would have been impossible for you to have contributed less to the existing discussion.

If you would stick to the facts then you wouldn't need to post such unnecessary posts as "Can a song that has been played twice during 15-date tour be considered a 'warhorse'?".

I realize the reality of the situation and I generally agree with the above lists that check-in around 14-15 songs. But in my (minority?) view, The Rolling Stones have only three 100% must-play-at-every-show songs: Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash, and Brown Sugar. All of the rest should be rotated. I can't see anyone going home disappointed as long as they've heard those three songs. That's probably all a lot of the casual fans remember about a show as it is.

Yes. Surely a "warhorse" isn't formed after 15 gigs or one tour. We are talking about a longer perspective that that. A couple of tours or a couple of decades.
In that respect "Doom and Gloom" still shouldn't be considered a warhorse even though it has been played on almost every gig since 2012.

Stoneage,
You would be right overall but the OP specifically targeted the question to Warhorses on the 2015 tour, not the Stones touring history

Stoneage,

no, it just said "as of 2015".
the term warhorse was used by keith first i believe, where he talked about how when they go on tour they "dust off the old warhorses" to play.
"i'm free" did not become a warhorse just because they played it at almost every show on the '69 tour.
YGMR was hardly played at all on the 2015 tour, so even with your framing, it still isn't a war horse.
