If the speed of a horse slows suddenly and without a weight or terrain increase - the horse is mostly likely needing to graze. Get off and lead the horse to [[grass]] tiles. It should graze and then speed should be back to normal.

== Speed ==
A horse without speed affecting traits or equipment will have a max speed of ~18 kph (when riding it). Riding speed is completely unaffected by terrain type. It is the same everywhere on and off-road. [[Saddle]]s and [[horse shoe]]s will raise the maximum speed. A horse's gear can only be accessed or changed when tamed, and only by the tamer. When riding down 20+ slopes the rider will not receive wounds like when walking, and mounts will go neither up nor down slopes over a certain max, so it can be wise to ride to avoid falling off mountains.
Any [[Animal husbandry|traits]], the horse's [[hunger]], [[terrain]] steepness (uphill only) and the rider's [[inventory]] [[weight]] can affect the speed of the horse when riding. If the speed of a horse slows suddenly and without a weight or terrain increase then the horse is most likely hungry. Feed it some something or get off and lead the horse to [[grass]] tiles. After eating or grazing the speed should be back to normal.
