In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, your horse is more than just a mode of transportation—it's a crucial ally for survival. Whether you're dashing 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 you can find in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
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 hoarders. However, it comes with a -2 speed penalty, which is a small price to pay for the extra storage.
Cracowian Saddle – The Pack Mule Special
For those who prioritize storage above all else, the Cracowian Saddle offers a +200 carry capacity, making it one of the best in the game for looters. The trade-off is a -2 speed hit, but if you're focused on gathering as much as possible, this saddle is your best bet.
Dragon Saddle – Style and Storage
Functionally identical to the Cracowian 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 perfect for players who want their gear to be both practical and eye-catching.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Bridles play a significant role in enhancing your horse's courage, stamina, and occasionally its armor. The right bridle can prevent your horse from fleeing during combat and improve its endurance on 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. If you're constantly on the move between towns, this is the bridle you'll want.
Sharukan Bridle
This bridle enhances stamina by +17 but reduces speed by -2. While it's a strong choice for stamina, the speed penalty might make it less appealing for those who need a quick escape.
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, though they often reduce stamina and carry capacity.
Warhorse Caparison – The Tank Build
Designed for those who ride straight into the fray, the Warhorse Caparison offers +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and robust armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). However, it significantly reduces stamina by -12, making it unsuitable for long chases.
Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy
This heavy-duty armor turns your horse into a fortress with +5 courage and solid protection (3/3/3 for all damage types). The downside is a 50 carry capacity reduction, which may require you to manage your inventory carefully.
Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option
For a balanced approach, the Quilted Caparison adds +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and respectable armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). It's not the most defensive, but it offers a good mix of protection and utility.
Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Horseshoes aren't just cosmetic; they can enhance your horse's speed and provide some protection, helping you outrun bandits or guards.
Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder
The Knight's Horseshoes offer a +2 speed boost and light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt damage). They're a solid choice for any rider looking for a bit of extra speed and hoof protection.
Farmer’s Horseshoes
These horseshoes provide a modest +1 speed increase. They're a budget option, but if you can afford it, upgrading to the Knight's Horseshoes is recommended for better performance.
Nobleman’s Horseshoes
Rumored to exist, the Nobleman's Horseshoes are said to provide a +3 speed boost, potentially making them the fastest in the game. However, their stats are unconfirmed, so consider yourself fortunate if you manage to find a set.
And that's the rundown on the best horse gear in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Equip your steed wisely to enhance your gameplay experience.
