Recommended Videos Best Horse Saddles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bravante Saddle – The Balanced Choice

This saddle offers a balanced approach, providing +180 carry capacity—ideal for those who prefer to carry a substantial amount of loot without significantly sacrificing speed. The -2 speed penalty is a minor trade-off for the increased carrying capacity.

Cracowian Saddle – The Pack Mule Special

For maximum storage, the Cracowian Saddle reigns supreme. Boasting a +200 carry capacity, it's tied for the best in the game. However, the -2 speed penalty is a consideration. This is the ultimate choice for players who prioritize carrying capacity above all else.

Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage

Functionally identical to the Cracowian Saddle (+200 carry capacity, -2 speed), the Dragon Saddle distinguishes itself with its superior aesthetics. Featuring a decorative horn and stylish saddlebags, it's the perfect choice for players who value both practicality and visual appeal.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bridles significantly impact your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes even its armor. Investing in a high-quality bridle can prevent your horse from panicking in combat and enhance its endurance during long journeys.

Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire

This bridle excels in stamina-intensive riding. With +19 stamina and +3 speed, it's perfect for long-distance travel between settlements.

Sharukan Bridle

Another strong contender for stamina, the Sharukan Bridle offers +17 stamina but at the cost of -2 speed. This makes it less attractive for those who value speed in their mounts.

Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

For those who frequently engage in combat, horse armor is essential. Caparisons and harnesses offer increased courage and protection, but at the expense of stamina and carry capacity. Careful consideration of these trade-offs is crucial.

Warhorse Caparison – The Tank Build

This heavy-duty armor provides +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and robust armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). The significant -12 stamina penalty necessitates strategic use.

Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy

This armor transforms your horse into a formidable fortress, offering +5 courage and solid armor (3/3/3 across all damage types). The -50 carry capacity reduction, however, impacts loot carrying potential.

Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option

Providing a balance between defense and utility, this option adds +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). It offers a reliable middle ground for players needing both protection and carrying capacity.

Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Horseshoes aren't merely cosmetic; they affect your horse's speed and offer a degree of protection. The right set can make the difference between escaping pursuers and being overtaken.

Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder

A versatile choice, these horseshoes boost speed by +2 and provide light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt damage). They're a reliable option for enhanced speed and minimal hoof protection.

Farmer’s Horseshoes

Offering a modest +1 speed increase, these are a budget-friendly option, but the Knight's Horseshoes offer a superior upgrade if resources allow.

Nobleman’s Horseshoes

While some players claim the existence of Nobleman's Horseshoes with a +3 speed boost, their stats remain unconfirmed. Consider yourself fortunate if you discover a set.
