In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your horse is more than just a means of transportation—it's a crucial ally 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 guide to the best horse gear in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* to ensure you and your horse are ready for any challenge.
Best Horse Saddles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bravante Saddle – The Balanced Choice
The Bravante Saddle strikes a perfect balance for those who need to carry a lot without sacrificing too much speed. With a +180 carry capacity, it's ideal for players who like to hoard but still want to move swiftly. The -2 speed penalty is a small price to pay when you're carrying the wealth of Bohemia.
Cracowian Saddle – The Pack Mule Special
For those who prioritize storage above all else, the Cracowian Saddle is unmatched. Offering a +200 carry capacity, it's perfect for the ultimate loot collector. However, the -2 speed penalty means you'll need to plan your escapes carefully.
Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage
Functionally identical to the Cracowian Saddle with a +200 carry capacity and -2 speed, the Dragon Saddle stands out with its stylish design. Featuring a decorative horn and fashionable saddlebags, it's the choice for players who want to look good while hauling their treasures.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can significantly impact your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes even its armor. Choosing the right bridle can make your horse more resilient in combat and better suited for long journeys.
Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire
Ideal for long-distance travel, this bridle boosts your horse's stamina by +19 and speed by +3. It's the perfect choice for those who frequently ride between towns.
Sharukan Bridle
While it offers a solid +17 stamina boost, the Sharukan Bridle comes with a -2 speed penalty. It's a good choice for stamina-focused rides but less ideal for those needing quick escapes.
Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
When charging into battle, your horse's armor is as important as your own. 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
For those who ride into the thick of battle, the Warhorse Caparison offers heavy-duty protection. With +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and strong armor ratings (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage), it's perfect for frontline combat. However, it reduces stamina by -12, so plan your sprints wisely.
Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy
This armor turns your horse into a fortress with +5 courage and solid armor (3/3/3 for all damage types). The trade-off is a 50 carry capacity reduction, so consider your inventory needs carefully.
Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option
For a mix of defense and utility, the Quilted Caparison is ideal. It provides +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage), offering protection without severely limiting your loot-carrying capabilities.
Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 not only enhance your horse's appearance but also its speed and protection. Here are the top horseshoes to consider:
Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder
These horseshoes are a great choice for any rider, offering a +2 speed boost and light armor protection (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt damage). They're perfect for those looking for a bit of extra speed and hoof protection.
Farmer’s Horseshoes
If you're on a budget, the Farmer's Horseshoes provide a modest +1 speed increase. However, if you can afford it, upgrading to the Knight's Horseshoes will give your horse a significant advantage.
Nobleman’s Horseshoes
Rumored to be the fastest horseshoes in the game with a +3 speed boost, the Nobleman's Horseshoes remain unconfirmed. If you manage to find a set, you might just be the envy of all Bohemia—or 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 conquer the challenges of medieval Bohemia.
