5 best horses in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

1) Pebbles

After saving the life of Sir Hans Capon in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Henry receives Pebbles as a reward for his heroic act.

Pebbles is a fine horse and was Henry's primary horse in the first Kingdom Come Deliverance game. Some players will feel attached to the old girl and will be inclined to bring her along for the ride rather than replacing her with other options.

Unlike other horses in the sequel, Pebbles can be unlocked early free of charge and has decent stats to boot:

• Speed: 34
• Courage: 8
• Capacity: 172
• Stamina: 210
• Price: gifted to Henry

Pebbles' high stamina means you can gallop as much as you like, but that doesn't mean you should neglect her stamina meter. She is a decent-sized horse and can be used to store extra storage that is too much on Henry's person.

2) Schrkle

While most horses can be bought with hard-earned Groschen, you must get your hands dirty to get Schrkle. Stealing can take a massive hit on Henry's reputation, but it is necessary in this case.

In the Back in the Saddle main quest, you will see a big dark horse that can be stolen. Without anyone noticing, you can take the animal to Nomad's Camp, where you can sell or pay to make it your permanent horse.

Schrkle may not be the fastest horse, but its size and strength with all the right equipment make him a compelling choice. Here are its stats:

• Speed: 30
• Courage: 17
• Capacity: 238
• Stamina: 184
• Price: can be stolen

This horse allows you to make extra room and increase your carrying capacity, which can be useful for long travels.

3) Bitterklee

Bitterklee has decent carrying capacity. However, it is not as affordable as other horses.

For a price of 900 Groschen, Bitterklee is perfect for those who wish to take their time and stay in the moment while carrying a massive haul. Most players would prefer a fast horse to save them time, but Bitterklee's slow speed allows you to be more observant of your surroundings.

It is worth noting that Bitterklee will not hesitate to buck you off if there is imminent danger, making it one of the downsides of this near-perfect steed. Here are its stats:

• Speed: 38
• Courage: 8
• Capacity: 208
• Stamina: 131
• Price: 900 Groschen

If you have enough money to burn, you can buy Bitterklee at Semine's Stables or Groomer Ballatay.

4) Soldier

If you want a perfectly balanced mount that can run at top speeds, carry enough weight, and is extremely loyal to its owner, look no further away from Soldier. This white horse is not cheap and is slightly more expensive than Bitterklee. You should have 1170 Groschen if you plan to buy this horse, but it is a worthy investment.

This soldier of a horse is a tough one and will not leave Henry's side even in the face of danger. Here are its stats:

• Speed: 34
• Courage: 15
• Capacity: 168
• Stamina: 144
• Price: 1170

The only eye-sore is its price. It would be a good idea to do some side quests to save up for this expensive steed.

5) Herring

Herring rivals Pebbles' stats ever so slightly (Image via Deep Silver)

While it feels fulfilling to buy a good horse outright, there is nothing wrong with acquiring one for free. You will encounter Herring during the For Whom the Bell Tolls main quest, and it has great stats from the get-go.

Herring has similar stats to Pebbles, making it a compelling option to use as a permanent horse:

• Speed: 32
• Courage: 24
• Capacity: 158
• Stamina: 174
• Price: free

Herring has decent stats and is fast enough to travel around the map. It will not abandon Henry if they are caught in an ambush on the road.
