In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your horse is more than just a means of transportation—it's a vital asset 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 comprehensive guide to the best horse gear in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
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 a significant amount of loot, this minor slowdown is a fair trade-off.
Cracowian Saddle – The Pack Mule Special
For those who prioritize storage above all else, the Cracowian Saddle is unmatched with a +200 carry capacity. It also comes with a -2 speed penalty, but if you're the type to collect everything that isn't nailed down, this saddle is indispensable.
Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage
Functionally identical to the Cracowian Saddle with a +200 carry capacity and -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 fortune with flair.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bridles play a crucial role in enhancing your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes even armor. Choosing the right bridle can significantly impact your horse's performance in combat and on long journeys.
Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire
This bridle is ideal for stamina-intensive rides, providing a +19 stamina and +3 speed boost. It's the perfect choice for those who frequently travel between towns.
Sharukan Bridle
Another excellent option for stamina, the Sharukan Bridle offers +17 stamina but comes with a -2 speed penalty. It's a good choice for endurance but less ideal for those needing quick escapes.
Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
When heading into battle, your horse's armor is crucial. Caparisons and harnesses provide 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 charge into the fray, the Warhorse Caparison offers +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and robust armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). However, it reduces stamina by -12, making it less suitable for long sprints.
Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy
This armor turns your horse into a fortress with +5 courage and solid protection (3/3/3 for all damage types). It reduces carry capacity by 50, so it's not ideal for loot-heavy players.
Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option
For a balance of defense and utility, the Quilted Caparison adds +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). It's a versatile choice that keeps your horse protected while allowing you to carry loot.
Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Horseshoes are essential for enhancing your horse's speed and providing a bit of protection. Here are the best options:
Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder
These horseshoes are a solid choice for any rider, boosting speed by +2 and offering light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt). They're perfect for those seeking a balance of speed and protection.
Farmer’s Horseshoes
Offering a modest +1 speed increase, these horseshoes are a budget-friendly option. However, if you can afford it, upgrading to the Knight’s Horseshoes is recommended for better performance.
Nobleman’s Horseshoes
Rumored to be the fastest in the game with a +3 speed boost, the existence of these horseshoes remains unconfirmed. If you manage to find a set, consider yourself fortunate—or perhaps just a victim of medieval rumors.
And that's the rundown on the best horse gear in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Equip your steed wisely to enhance your adventures across the medieval landscape.
