Top Horse Equipment in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your horse is more than just a means of transportation—it's a crucial ally for survival. Whether you're galloping into battle, evading the law, or hauling your spoils, equipping your steed with the right gear can make all the difference. Here's a guide to the best horse gear you can find in the game.

Best Horse Saddles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bravante Saddle – The Balanced Choice

The Bravante Saddle is an excellent all-rounder, offering a +180 carry capacity boost. Ideal for those who like to carry a lot without sacrificing too much speed, it does come with a -2 speed penalty. However, if you're lugging around half of Bohemia, a slight slowdown is a small price to pay.

Cracowian Saddle – The Pack Mule Special

For those who prioritize storage above all else, the Cracowian Saddle is your best bet. It provides a +200 carry capacity, matching the highest in the game. The trade-off is a -2 speed penalty, but if you're the type to loot everything in sight, this saddle is indispensable.

Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage

Functionally identical to the Cracowian Saddle with a +200 carry capacity and a -2 speed penalty, the Dragon Saddle stands out with its aesthetic appeal. Featuring a decorative horn and stylish saddlebags, it's perfect for players who want to carry their loot in style. If you value both functionality and flair, this saddle is for you.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can significantly impact your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes even its armor. Choosing the right bridle can make your horse more resilient in combat and better suited for long journeys.

Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire

This bridle is ideal for stamina-intensive rides, offering a +19 stamina and +3 speed boost. It's perfect for those who frequently travel between towns, ensuring your horse can keep up the pace.

Sharukan Bridle

Another excellent choice for stamina, the Sharukan Bridle provides a +17 stamina boost. However, it comes with a -2 speed penalty, making it less ideal for those who need a quick escape.

Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

When charging into battle, your horse's armor is as important as your own. Caparisons and harnesses enhance courage and protection but at the cost of stamina and carry capacity. Here are the top choices:

Warhorse Caparison – The Tank Build

Designed for those who ride into the thick of battle, the Warhorse Caparison offers +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and robust armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). The downside is a -12 stamina penalty, so long sprints are out of the question. But if your horse is taking hits, this armor is invaluable.

Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy

This armor turns your horse into a fortress, providing +5 courage and solid protection (3/3/3 for all damage types). However, it reduces your carry capacity by 50, so if you're a habitual looter, you might need to adjust your loadout.

Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option

For a balance of defense and utility, the Quilted Caparison is the way to go. It adds +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). It won't make your horse invincible, but it offers good protection while allowing you to carry loot.

Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are not just for aesthetics; they can boost your horse's speed and provide some protection. Here are the top horseshoes to consider:

Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder

These horseshoes are a great choice for any rider, offering a +2 speed boost and light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt). They won't revolutionize your horse's performance, but they provide a nice balance of speed and protection.

Farmer’s Horseshoes

Offering a modest +1 speed increase, these horseshoes are a budget option. If you can afford it, upgrading to the Knight’s Horseshoes is recommended for better performance.

Nobleman’s Horseshoes

Rumored to exist, these horseshoes are said to provide a +3 speed boost, making them the fastest in the game. However, their stats remain unconfirmed. If you manage to find a set, consider yourself fortunate—or perhaps just a victim of medieval rumors.

And that's a comprehensive look at the best horse gear in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
