Your horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is much more than just a way to get from A to B—it’s your personal storage chest, your battle companion, and, when things go south, your emergency escape plan. But even the best horse can be improved with the right gear. Saddles, bridles, horseshoes, and armor all play a role in boosting speed, carrying capacity, stamina, and courage.
Here’s a list of the best horse gear/equipment in KCD2 and how you can obtain it.
