Best Horse Gear in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Your trusty steed serves far more than transportation in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - it's a vital survival companion. Whether charging into combat, fleeing pursuers, or transporting valuable goods, proper equestrian equipment makes all the difference. Here's the definitive guide to the finest horse gear available.

Best Horse Saddles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bravante Saddle – The Versatile Performer

This well-balanced saddle offers +180 carry capacity with only a -2 speed penalty, making it ideal for collectors who value both storage and mobility. When you're gathering Bohemia's treasures, this slight speed reduction proves a fair trade.

Cracowian Saddle – The Capacity King

Boasting +200 carry capacity (tied for best in-game) at the same -2 speed cost, this saddle transforms your mount into a proper pack animal. Perfect for adventurers who insist on claiming every last helmet and cooking pot from battlefields.

Dragon Saddle – Elegance Meets Utility

Functionally identical to the Cracowian (same +200/-2 stats), this premium variant stands apart with its ornate horn decorations and stylish saddlebags. Choose this when your noble steed deserves both performance and panache.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

A horse's headgear directly impacts bravery, endurance and occasionally defense - crucial factors in both combat and long-distance travel.

Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire

The endurance specialist's choice, granting +19 stamina with a +3 speed bonus. Ideal for couriers and merchants covering long distances across the countryside.

Sharukan Bridle

Another stamina-focused option providing +17 stamina, though the -2 speed penalty makes it less appealing for those prioritizing quick escapes.

Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Battle-ready mounts require proper protection. While armor enhances survivability, remember it comes with stamina and carrying capacity tradeoffs.

Warhorse Caparison – The Battle Tank

Maximum defense with +5 courage, 50 carry weight bonus, and robust 7/9/9 protection ratings (stab/slash/blunt). The significant -12 stamina cost means this proves best for short, violent engagements rather than endurance riding.

Executioner's Caparison with Harness

Excellent all-round protection (3/3/3 defenses) with +5 courage, but the 50 capacity reduction demands tactical looting discipline from pillaging knights.

Quilted Caparison with Harness

The balanced choice offering +4 courage, 40 carry weight increase, and respectable 4/6/6 protections. When you need decent defense without sacrificing too much utility, this set delivers.

Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Often overlooked, these metal shoes impact both speed and protection - critical when evading danger or racing against time.

Knight's Horseshoes – The Reliable Standard

A sensible +2 speed bonus with light 1/3/1 defensive values makes these perfect for most riders seeking balanced performance.

Farmer's Horseshoes

The budget option at +1 speed serves adequately when funds are tight, though upgrading remains advisable when possible.

Nobleman's Horseshoes

Rumored to provide +3 speed (unconfirmed), these mythical items might represent the ultimate in equestrian speed - if they truly exist beyond tavern tales.
