Recommended Videos Best Horse Saddles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bravante Saddle – The Balanced Choice

This versatile saddle offers a +180 carry capacity, ideal for players who prioritize hauling loot without sacrificing significant speed. The -2 speed penalty is a minor trade-off for the increased carrying capacity.

Best Bridles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Bridles significantly impact your horse's courage, stamina, and sometimes even armor. A superior bridle minimizes the risk of your horse fleeing combat and enhances its endurance during long journeys.

Bridle of the Holy Roman Empire

This bridle excels for stamina-intensive riding, providing a +19 stamina boost and +3 speed increase, making it perfect for extended travel between settlements.

Sharukan Bridle

Another strong contender for stamina enhancement, the Sharukan Bridle offers +17 stamina but at the cost of -2 speed. This makes it less suitable for those prioritizing swift getaways.

Best Horse Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

When charging into battle, your horse requires more than just speed—it needs protection. Caparisons and harnesses offer courage and protection, but at the expense of stamina and carry capacity. Choose wisely based on your priorities.

Warhorse Caparison – The Tank Build

This heavy-duty armor provides +5 courage, 50 extra carry weight, and robust armor (7/9/9 for stab/slash/blunt damage). However, it significantly reduces stamina by -12, limiting sprint capabilities. Ideal for horses taking direct hits.

Executioner’s Caparison with Harness – Tough but Heavy

Transform your horse into an armored fortress with +5 courage and solid armor (3/3/3 across all damage types). The trade-off is a -50 carry capacity reduction, impacting loot-carrying capabilities.

Quilted Caparison with Harness – The Balanced Option

This option strikes a balance between defense and utility, offering +4 courage, 40 extra carry weight, and decent armor (4/6/6 for stab/slash/blunt damage). A good compromise for protection and carrying capacity.

Best Horseshoes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Horseshoes aren't merely cosmetic; they influence your horse's speed and offer some protection. For outrunning pursuers, the right shoes are essential.

Knight’s Horseshoes – Best All-Rounder

A reliable choice, these horseshoes boost speed by +2 and provide light armor (1/3/1 for stab/slash/blunt). A good balance of speed and protection.

Farmer’s Horseshoes

Offering a modest +1 speed increase, these are a budget-friendly option, but the Knight’s Horseshoes offer superior benefits if you can afford them.

Nobleman’s Horseshoes

While some claim these provide +3 speed, making them the fastest, this hasn't been definitively confirmed. Consider yourself fortunate if you find a set.
