'''Horse''' is a rideable [[animal]] primarily found on [[Terrain:Steppe|steppe]] or [[Grass tiles|grass]] land. Wild horses (those that spawn somewhere in the wild) are grey. Bred horses come in one of 5 known colour types: black, white, grey, brown, gold.

Being mounted provides a very substantial advantage in combat. It is usually much easier to kill a strong opponent when riding. In addition, mounts are unaffected by the rider's [[stamina]] and [[health]], which makes it possible to retreat from combat even with low stamina or critical wounds. Riding a fast mount is often the only way of successfully escaping some of the faster mobs (like aged [[troll]]s or [[crocodile]]s). This is especially true when carrying loads above a bare minimum because horses are not slowed as much as players are when carrying heavy loads.

Horses come in one of 13 colour types: black, white, grey, brown, gold, blood bay, ebony black (also known as "jet black"), piebald pinto, chestnut, appaloosa, gold buckskin, skewbald pinto, and black silver.

They can be [[lead]] with a rope by anybody without being tamed, but they are [[Mounts|ride-able]] only with 21 [[Body Control]]. Horses can be [[tame]]d with [[seeds]] and some [[vegetable]]s. However, as mobs attack tamed mounts before the rider and horses do not withstand much damage, it's usually wise to ride them untamed (to untame simply tame another animal).

*With the early 2012 patch, now untamed ridden mounts may also be attacked. Best to place barding on your horse if you wish it to survive more often. Tame the horse, put the barding on, tame something else to untame the barded horse, or it will also attack your enemy which may give it agro/attention from the mob/opponent.

Horses can be ridden up and down a straight 40 slope ramp or anywhere the sum of two neighbouring sides of a tile do not exceed 40.

*The slope for a horse was changed from 30 to 40 in early 2012. Other changes include a much faster turning ability while riding a horse and/or commanding a cart. While only turning, your horse will now move forward a little. A horse will now move much slower when ridden backwards.

Horses have varying body types based on their traits. These body types are: hot-blooded, characterised by a wiry build and speed traits; warm-blooded, with a medium build and mixed traits; or cold-blooded, featuring a husky build and draft traits.

−
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, and the rider's [[inventory]] [[weight]] can affect the speed of the horse when riding. If the speed of a horse slows suddenly, 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.

Description

Horses like this one have many uses.

Horses are ridable animals.

Being mounted provides a very substantial advantage in combat. It is usually much easier to kill a strong opponent when riding. In addition, mounts are unaffected by the rider's stamina and health, which makes it possible to retreat from combat even with low stamina or critical wounds. Riding a fast mount is often the only way of successfully escaping some of the faster mobs (like aged trolls or crocodiles). This is especially true when carrying loads above a bare minimum because horses are not slowed as much as players are when carrying heavy loads.

Variations

Coat Colour

Horses come in one of 13 colour types: black, white, grey, brown, gold, blood bay, ebony black (also known as "jet black"), piebald pinto, chestnut, appaloosa, gold buckskin, skewbald pinto, and black silver.

Horse body variations from left to right: hot-blooded, warm-blooded & cold-blooded.

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. Saddles and horse shoes will raise the maximum speed. A horse's gear can only be accessed or changed when tamed by the tamer, or when branded by whoever has permissions.

Any 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, 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.

Ebony black horses have a slight speed boost, when both riding and pulling vehicles, over other colours.

Speed Boosting

Type 50ql boost 70ql boost 90 ql boost Other
Horse shoe set of 4 0.24km/h 0.48km/h 0.72km/h
Saddle 0.24km/h 0.48km/h 0.72km/h
Wind of ages 0.24km/h 0.48km/h 0.72km/h cast on shoes or saddle
rare versions 0.72km/h
supreme versions 1.44km/h

Equipment speeds aren't determined at 50, 70 or 90 quality thresholds, they are linear and scale according to quality.

Bred Horses

  • Bred horses have individual (but not unique) names randomly chosen at birth. They can have traits affecting their speed and other characteristics.
  • Bred horses have 2 foal stages (young foal and adolescent foal) before they grow into young horses.
  • Color of bred horses will be inherited from their parents, with a very small chance of becoming an entirely different color at birth.
  • Traits have a chance to be inherited from the parents. Both parents having a trait will help but does not guarantee that trait will be passed on.

Traits

Numerous traits can positively or negatively affect the speed of a creature being ridden by a player, or pulling a vehicle. For horses, a player is likely to want to seek out speed traits for a horse that's ridden, or draft traits for a horse that pulls a cart or wagon.

See animal husbandry for a full list of traits.

Equipment

Equipment that can be equipped on tamed or branded horses:

Notes

  • They can be led with a rope by anybody without being tamed, but they are ridable only with 21 body control.
  • Horses can be tamed with seeds and some vegetables. Be aware though that aggressive mobs occasionally attack tamed horses/mounts.
  • Horses can be ridden up and down a straight 40 slope ramp or anywhere the sum of two neighbouring sides of a tile does not exceed 40. While only turning, your horse will move forward a little. A horse will move much slower when ridden backwards or up a hill, it moves faster when riding down a hill.
  • One or two horses can be used to pull a large cart or a ship transporter. Up to four horses can be hitched to a wagon.
