Any [[Animal husbandry|traits]], the horse's [[hunger]], [[terrain]] steepness 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 something, or get off and lead the horse to [[grass]] tiles. After eating or grazing the speed should be back to normal.
