Best Horse in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Acquisition Guide

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the vast open world and the variety of horse-related activities make it essential to have a trusty steed by your side. Why trudge along on foot when you can gallop across the landscapes on the best horse available? Let's dive into how you can secure the top horse in the game.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse

The crown jewel among horses in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is undoubtedly Pebbles. To harness the full potential of Pebbles, you'll first need to unlock the Good Old Pebbles perk. While there are horses with marginally better stats, Pebbles stands out due to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness.

Once you unlock the perk, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:

Stamina: 217
Capacity: 353
Speed: 53
Courage: 12

How to Get Pebbles

You can acquire Pebbles early in the game. Make your way to Semine and have a chat with the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is sufficiently high, you might persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a modest fee.

To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you must ride approximately 35 km with it. This will make the Good Old Pebbles perk available, significantly boosting Pebbles' stats. With this perk, Pebbles ranks among the top horses in the game, making other options less appealing due to their high costs and difficulty in acquisition. The slight stat improvements from other horses just don't justify the investment.

Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

If you're curious about other horses in the game, here are a few notable options:

Herring (Trosky Castle): Available for free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Herring falls slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. Unlocking a perk is necessary to maximize its potential.
Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) in the game, but comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): An all-around solid choice that surpasses Pebbles in speed and courage, yet it costs a staggering 7,560 groschen.

As you can see, these alternatives come with significant price tags for only marginal improvements in stats, making Pebbles the most practical and best horse you can get in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
