In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your horse isn't just a mode of transportation—it's a key to survival. Whether you're charging into battle, evading guards, or hauling loot, equipping your steed with the right gear can make all the difference. Here’s a 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 a versatile choice for those who need a bit of everything. With a +180 carry capacity boost, it's ideal for players who love to hoard without sacrificing too much speed. Yes, it comes with a -2 speed penalty, but when you're carrying half of Bohemia in your bags, a slight slowdown is a fair trade-off.
Cracowian Saddle – The Pack Mule Special
For those who prioritize storage over speed, the Cracowian Saddle is unmatched. It offers a +200 carry capacity, the highest in the game, but at the cost of a -2 speed penalty. If you're the type to loot everything that isn't nailed down, this saddle will be your best friend.
Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage
Functionally identical to the Cracowian with +200 carry capacity and a -2 speed hit, the Dragon Saddle stands out for its aesthetic appeal. Featuring a decorative horn and stylish saddlebags, it's perfect for players who want to look good while hauling their fortune. If you value both practicality and style, this saddle is a must-have.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 significantly impact your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes even armor. Choosing the right bridle can make your horse more steadfast in combat and more enduring on long journeys.
Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire
This bridle is the top choice for stamina-heavy riding, boosting stamina by +19 and speed by +3. Ideal for players who frequently travel between towns, it ensures your horse can keep going without tiring out.
Sharukan Bridle
While it offers a solid stamina increase of +17, the Sharukan Bridle comes with a -2 speed penalty. It's a good choice if stamina is your priority, but not the best if you need to make quick getaways.
Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
When charging into battle, your horse's armor is crucial. Caparisons and harnesses add courage and protection, but they also reduce stamina and carry capacity. Here are the best options:
Warhorse Caparison – The Tank Build
For players who ride directly into danger, the Warhorse Caparison is the ultimate choice. It provides +5 courage, an additional 50 carry weight, and robust armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). However, it reduces stamina by -12, making long sprints challenging. If your horse is frequently under attack, this armor is a worthwhile investment.
Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy
This armor turns your horse into a fortress, offering +5 courage and solid protection (3/3/3 for all damage types). The downside is a 50 carry capacity reduction, so if you're a loot enthusiast, you'll need to manage your inventory carefully.
Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option
For those seeking a balance between defense and utility, the Quilted Caparison with Harness is ideal. 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 provides adequate protection while allowing you to carry more loot.
Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 affect your horse's speed and offer some protection. Choosing the right set can help you outrun bandits or escape guards.
Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder
The Knight’s Horseshoes are a solid choice for any rider, boosting speed by +2 and providing light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt). They're not revolutionary, but they offer a nice balance of speed and protection.
Farmer’s Horseshoes
These horseshoes offer a modest +1 speed increase. While they're a budget-friendly option, if you can afford it, upgrading to the Knight’s Horseshoes will give your horse a significant boost.
Nobleman’s Horseshoes
Rumored to exist, the Nobleman’s Horseshoes are said to increase speed by +3, potentially making them the fastest in the game. However, their stats are unconfirmed. If you manage to find a set, consider yourself lucky—or perhaps just a victim of medieval gossip.
And that's the rundown on the best horse gear in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
