Your steed isn't just for leisurely rides in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2; it's a vital asset for survival. Whether you're charging into battle, escaping pursuing guards, or transporting your hard-earned loot, equipping your horse with the right gear is crucial. This guide highlights the best horse gear available in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
This saddle offers a balanced approach, providing +180 carry capacity—ideal for players who prefer to carry substantial loot without significantly sacrificing speed. The -2 speed penalty is a minor trade-off for the increased carrying capacity.
For maximum storage, the Cracowian Saddle is your best bet. Its +200 carry capacity is among the highest in the game, but it also comes with a -2 speed penalty. Perfect for players who prioritize carrying capacity above all else.
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 those who want both practicality and style.

Bridles significantly impact your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes even armor. Investing in a high-quality bridle can prevent your horse from panicking in combat and improve its endurance on long journeys.
This bridle excels in stamina enhancement, offering +19 stamina and +3 speed. It's perfect for long-distance travel and extended riding.
Another strong contender for stamina boosting, the Sharukan Bridle provides +17 stamina but at the cost of -2 speed. This makes it less suitable for those who value speed.
When charging into battle, your horse needs protection. Caparisons and harnesses offer courage and protection, but at the cost of stamina and carry capacity. Choose wisely based on your priorities.
This heavy-duty armor provides +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and strong armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). However, it significantly reduces stamina (-12), making it unsuitable for extended sprints.
This armor transforms your horse into a formidable fortress, boasting +5 courage and solid armor (3/3/3 for all damage types). The trade-off is a reduction of 50 carry capacity.
For a balance of defense and utility, this option offers +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). A solid compromise between protection and carrying capacity.
Horseshoes aren't merely cosmetic; they affect your horse's speed and offer some protection. Choosing the right set can significantly impact your ability to outrun enemies.
A versatile choice, these horseshoes boost speed by +2 and provide light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt). A good balance of speed and protection.
Offering a modest +1 speed increase, these are a budget-friendly option but lack the benefits of the Knight's Horseshoes.
While some claim these provide +3 speed, this hasn't been officially confirmed. If you find them, consider yourself fortunate.
