Your horse isn’t just for getting around in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – it’s essential for survival. Whether you’re charging into a fight, outrunning the guards, or carrying loot, the right gear matters. Here’s the best horse gear in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
A solid all-rounder, this saddle gives you +180 carry capacity – perfect for hoarders who don’t want to sacrifice too much speed. You do take a -2 speed hit, but let’s be real – if you’re carrying half of Bohemia in your bags, a slight slowdown is expected.
If you want maximum storage, this is your go-to. With a +200 carry capacity, it’s tied for the best in the game. But, like all overstuffed wagons, it comes with a -2 speed penalty. Still, if you’re the type to loot everything that isn’t nailed down, you’ll want this saddle.
Functionally, this saddle is identical to the Cracowian – +200 carry capacity, -2 speed. The difference? It looks cooler. It has a decorative horn and stylish saddlebags, making it a solid choice for players who want to haul their fortune in style. If you like your gear to be practical and pretty, this one’s for you.

Bridles affect your horse’s courage, stamina, and sometimes even armor. A good bridle can make your horse less likely to flee in combat and improve its endurance on long rides.
This is the best bridle for stamina-heavy riding. It adds +19 stamina and +3 speed, making it perfect for extended travel. If you’re frequently riding between towns, this is the bridle to get.
This bridle is another strong stamina booster, giving +17 stamina. However, it comes with a -2 speed penalty, making it a less desirable choice for those who prefer a quick getaway.
If you’re charging into battle, your horse needs more than just speed – it needs armor. Caparisons and harnesses add courage and protection but they come at a cost. More armor means less stamina and reduced carry capacity, so you’ll need to decide what matters most.
This is heavy-duty horse armor for those who ride straight into danger. It gives +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and strong armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). The catch? It drains stamina by -12, so don’t expect long sprints. But if your horse is taking hits, it’s worth the trade.
This one turns your horse into a walking fortress with +5 courage and solid armor (3/3/3 for all damage types). The downside? It cuts 50 carry capacity, so if you’re the type to loot every corpse, you might need to rethink your inventory.
If you want a mix of defense and utility, this is the way to go. It adds +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). It won’t turn your horse into an unstoppable war machine but it keeps it protected while still letting you haul loot.
Horseshoes aren’t just for looks – they affect your horse’s speed and even offer a bit of protection. If you want to outrun bandits or leave guards in the dust, you’ll need the right set.
A solid pick for any rider, these boost speed by +2 while adding a light armor bonus (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt). It’s not game-changing, but if you want a little extra speed and some hoof protection, these are a great choice.
These give +1 speed, which is… something. If you’re broke, they’re fine, but if you’ve got the Groschen, just upgrade to the Knight’s Horseshoes. Your horse will thank you.
Some players swear these exist and that they give +3 speed, making them the fastest in the game. But so far, their stats aren’t confirmed. If you find a set, consider yourself lucky—or maybe just a victim of medieval gossip.
And that’s the best horse gear in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
