Best Horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - Acquisition Guide

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, exploring the vast open world on horseback is not just a luxury—it's essential. With numerous horse-related activities to dive into, you'll want to ensure you're riding the best steed available. Here’s your comprehensive guide to securing the best horse in the game: Pebbles.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse

The crown for the best horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* goes to Pebbles. To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you'll need the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. While there are horses with marginally superior stats, Pebbles offers the best balance of performance and affordability.

Once you unlock the perk, Pebbles will boast impressive stats:

• Stamina: 217
• Capacity: 353
• Speed: 53
• Courage: 12

How to Get Pebbles

You can acquire Pebbles early in the game by visiting Semine and negotiating with the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is high enough, you might convince the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a nominal fee.

To fully unlock Pebbles' potential, you must ride approximately 35 km with him. Once you've reached this distance, the "Good Old Pebbles" perk becomes available, significantly boosting Pebbles' stats. With these enhancements, Pebbles stands at the pinnacle of horse options, making other, more expensive horses less appealing due to their marginal stat improvements.

Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

For those interested in exploring alternative mounts, here are some notable horses:

• Herring (available at Trosky Castle after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls"): While slightly less capable than Pebbles in terms of capacity and speed, Herring can be obtained for free. However, unlocking its full potential also requires a specific perk.
• Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina and speed in the game (235 and 60, respectively), but comes with a steep price tag of 5,260 groschen.
• Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): An excellent all-rounder that outperforms Pebbles in speed and courage, yet it's priced at a hefty 7,560 groschen.

Given their high costs and the minimal stat improvements they offer over Pebbles, these alternatives might not justify the investment for most players.
