Hytale: How To Tame A Horse And Use Mounts
You cannot tame or permanently own a horse in Hytale right now, but you can still interact with animals and prepare for mounts later. As of early access, true animal taming and horse ownership are not implemented, and riding mounts is planned for a future update.
This guide explains what is and is not possible with horses, how animal interaction currently works, and what systems are confirmed to be coming.
Can You Tame Horses In Hytale Right Now
No. Horse taming is not available at this stage of early access.
The developers have confirmed that full taming and mounts are planned features. At the moment, horses cannot be claimed, bonded, or permanently ridden.
Are Horses And Mounts Planned
Yes. Horses are confirmed future mounts, along with camels and tetrabirds.
These animals exist in the game world, but the systems that allow riding and ownership are not active yet. Any interaction you see now is temporary and not true taming.
What You Can Do With Animals Right Now
While traditional taming does not exist yet, you can still interact with animals in limited ways.
Animals can be lured, captured, or kept near your base using early farming tools. These systems do not create pets or mounts, but they allow basic control over animals.
Using The Feed Bag
The Feed Bag is used to attract animals to a specific location.
It does not tame animals. It only lures them nearby, usually for farming or resource purposes.
To craft a Feed Bag, you must progress through early crafting benches.
Craft a basic Workbench from pocket crafting
Craft a Farmer’s Workbench using the standard Workbench
Use the Farmer’s Workbench to craft a Feed Bag
Place the Feed Bag in a quick slot
Deploy it near your base
Animals will wander toward it over time.
Using The Capture Crate
The Capture Crate lets you pick up small animals and move them.
This is useful for relocating animals, not taming them. Captured animals do not become pets or mounts.
Once crafted at the Farmer’s Workbench, equip it and use it on a compatible animal to store and transport it.
Why Horse Taming Is Not Working
Many players expect horse taming because animals and mounts are visible in game. The systems are simply not active yet.
There is no hidden method, no special item, and no skill requirement that unlocks horse taming at this time.
What To Expect In Future Updates
The developers have confirmed that proper animal taming is coming. This will include mounts, pets, and deeper interaction systems.
Feed Bags and farming tools are expected to tie into ownership later, but they do not do so yet.
Final Blurb
Horse taming in Hytale is a future feature, not something you can unlock right now. For now, focus on exploration, base building, and learning the farming systems that will eventually support mounts. When taming goes live, you will already be prepared.
