Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — How to Get a Horse

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a first-person role-playing action game set in a vast open world. Continuing Henry's story, the game places even greater emphasis on his personal drama and influence on the key events of the era. However, traveling on foot through this world is not the most sensible decision. In this guide, we have detailed all the ways you can acquire a horse in the game.

Stealing a horse is one of the possible ways to acquire a steed in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, although it's not the most practical. The thing is, stolen horses always return to their original location as soon as you dismount. Nevertheless, this method can be a good temporary solution to speed up travel and save time on completing tasks.

The first opportunity to explore the open world appears at the beginning of the main quest "Uninvited Guests," when players find themselves in the town of Troskovice, the largest settlement in the Trosky region. One option to get a horse is to steal it from a pen on the south side of the town.

If necessary, you can always return to the pen in Troskovice and try to steal another steed. Note that similar pens with horses can be found in other towns as well.

To use this method, head to the town of Semine, located southwest of the main settlement. There, you need to find the horse trader and approach a gray horse named Pebbles. Greet her using the appropriate option, then talk to the trader.

You have two options:

Getting the horse for free will also unlock the "Old Friend" achievement, which is a nice bonus for collectors.

Another option is to purchase any horse from the trader in Semine, which we mentioned in the previous section. The base price is 150 groschen, but with bargaining skills, you can lower the cost. However, the best option is to get the horse for free by successfully passing the speech check.

If your speech level hasn't reached 7 yet, you can quickly increase it by interacting with the town's residents. This is a great way to improve the skill and save money by getting a horse as a gift.

As part of the quest "Back in the Saddle", you are automatically given a horse named Herring, which surpasses Pebbles in stats. If you already have a steed, you can choose between the current and the new horse.
