In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your horse is more than just a mode of transportation; it's a vital component for survival. Whether you're engaging in combat, evading the law, or managing your loot, equipping your horse with the right gear is crucial. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best horse gear you can find in the game.
Best Horse Saddles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bravante Saddle – The Balanced Choice
The Bravante Saddle is your go-to for a balanced performance. It boosts your carry capacity by +180, ideal for players who need to transport a lot without sacrificing too much speed. You'll experience a -2 speed hit, but when you're carrying a significant load, a slight decrease in speed is a fair trade-off.
Cracowian Saddle – The Pack Mule Special
For those who prioritize storage over speed, the Cracowian Saddle offers the highest carry capacity at +200, matching the best in the game. However, it also imposes a -2 speed penalty. If you're the type to loot everything in sight, this saddle is perfect for you.
Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage
Identical to the Cracowian in terms of functionality with a +200 carry capacity and a -2 speed penalty, the Dragon Saddle stands out with its stylish design. Featuring a decorative horn and fashionable saddlebags, it's the perfect choice for players who want to combine practicality with aesthetics.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bridles play a significant role in your horse's performance, affecting its 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 stamina-intensive travel, this bridle increases stamina by +19 and speed by +3. It's perfect for those who frequently travel between towns and need their horse to endure long rides.
Sharukan Bridle
While it boosts stamina by +17, the Sharukan Bridle comes with a -2 speed penalty. It's a good choice for stamina but less ideal if you need to make quick escapes.
Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
When heading into battle, your horse's armor is essential for protection. Caparisons and harnesses enhance courage and defense but can impact stamina and carry capacity. Here are the top options:
Warhorse Caparison – The Tank Build
Designed for those who charge into the fray, the Warhorse Caparison offers +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 it less suitable for long sprints.
Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy
This gear transforms your horse into a fortress, providing +5 courage and solid armor (3/3/3 for all damage types). The trade-off is a 50-point reduction in carry capacity, so it's not ideal for players who like to carry a lot of loot.
Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option
For a balanced approach, the Quilted Caparison with Harness offers +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). It provides good protection while allowing you to carry a reasonable amount of gear.
Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Horseshoes are more than just decorative; they can enhance your horse's speed and offer minor protection. Here are the top horseshoes to consider:
Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder
These horseshoes are a great choice for any rider, boosting speed by +2 and providing light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt damage). They're not revolutionary, but they offer a solid balance of speed and protection.
Farmer’s Horseshoes
Offering a modest +1 speed increase, Farmer's Horseshoes are a budget option. If you can afford it, upgrading to the Knight's Horseshoes will provide better performance.
Nobleman’s Horseshoes
Rumored to be the fastest in the game with a +3 speed boost, the existence and stats of the Nobleman's Horseshoes remain unconfirmed. If you find a set, you might just be the envy of every rider in Bohemia—or a victim of medieval rumors.
And that's your guide to the best horse gear in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Equip your steed wisely to enhance your journey through the medieval world.
