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 is a versatile option, offering a +180 carry capacity boost. Ideal for those who need to carry a lot without sacrificing too much speed, it only incurs a -2 speed penalty. If you're lugging around a significant amount of loot, this slight 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. However, it also comes with a -2 speed penalty. If you're the type to collect everything you can, this saddle is essential for your adventures.
Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage
Matching the Cracowian in functionality with a +200 carry capacity and a -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 combine practicality with a touch of flair.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bridles play a significant role in enhancing your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes armor. Choosing the right one can make your horse more resilient in combat and more enduring on long journeys.

For those who frequently travel long distances, the Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire is ideal. It boosts stamina by +19 and speed by +3, making it perfect for extended rides between towns.
Sharukan Bridle
The Sharukan Bridle offers a +17 stamina increase but comes with a -2 speed penalty. While it's a good choice for stamina, it might not be the best 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's how to choose the right armor for your needs.
Warhorse Caparison – The Tank Build
The Warhorse Caparison is designed for those who charge into the fray. It 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 armor turns your horse into a fortress with +5 courage and solid protection (3/3/3 for all damage types). The trade-off is a 50 carry capacity reduction, so consider your looting habits before choosing this option.
Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option
For a balanced approach, the Quilted Caparison with Harness adds +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). It's a good middle ground for protection and utility.
Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Horseshoes are essential for enhancing your horse's speed and providing a bit of protection. The right set can help you outrun bandits or escape from guards.
Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder
The Knight’s Horseshoes are a versatile choice, increasing speed by +2 and offering light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt). They're a great option for those looking for a bit of extra speed and hoof protection.
Farmer’s Horseshoes
These horseshoes provide a modest +1 speed increase. While they're better than nothing, if you have the resources, upgrading to the Knight’s Horseshoes is advisable.
Nobleman’s Horseshoes
Rumored to be the fastest in the game with a +3 speed boost, the Nobleman’s Horseshoes remain 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 conquer the challenges of Bohemia.
