Mastering Mounts in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Guide to Acquiring a Horse

The vast open world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can feel daunting initially. Efficient traversal is key, and that means acquiring a horse. This guide details two methods: reclaiming your original steed and the alternative of horse theft.

Reclaiming Pebbles:

Your starting horse, Pebbles, can be retrieved. Travel to Semine in the southern region and locate the horse trader. He won't relinquish Pebbles easily; you'll need to either pay Groschen, persuade him, or intimidate him. Success with persuasion depends on Henry's appearance and skills. For example, wearing finer clothing (obtained through the main questline, potentially by working with Radovan) can significantly improve your chances of a free reunion with Pebbles, though it may impact your reputation in Semine. Failure to persuade will necessitate a monetary transaction.

The Art of Horse Theft:

Alternatively, you can acquire a horse through less legal means. Wild horses are rare; instead, target farms or stables. This carries the risk of being apprehended by the owners.

A recommended location is Vidlak Pond in the west. A nearby farmhouse belonging to fishermen provides two readily available horses. Simply mount one and ride away.

To properly utilize your newly acquired steed, visit the horse trainer at the Nomads' Camp (east of Vidlak Pond). He'll teach you how to saddle and tame your stolen horse, though his services come at a cost. Alternatively, you can forgo his training and ride the horse untamed.
