Diving into *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* can feel daunting with its vast open-world, making travel on foot seem inefficient. But fear not, as getting a horse can transform your journey. Here's how you can secure a trusty steed in the game.
If you're looking to reunite with your original horse, Pebbles, head south to Semine. There, you'll find a horse trader NPC who holds the key to getting Pebbles back. However, reclaiming your horse isn't straightforward. You'll need to either pay with Groschen or use your persuasion or intimidation skills to convince the trader to release Pebbles.
In my experience, following the main questline and working with Radovan the blacksmith allowed me to acquire new clothes that made Henry appear more noble. This disguise helped me persuade the trader to return Pebbles without cost, though it did slightly tarnish my reputation in Semine. If persuasion doesn't work, be prepared to pay the Groschen to get your horse back.
If you're feeling more adventurous, stealing a horse is another option. While wild horses are rare, you can find them at farms or stables. A good spot to start is Vidlak Pond in the west, where a farmhouse owned by fishermen keeps two horses. Simply mount one and ride off into the sunset.
After securing your stolen horse, head to the Nomads' Camp just east of Vidlak Pond. There, you can speak with the horse trainer NPC to learn how to saddle and tame your new mount. Keep in mind, you'll need to pay the trainer for their services. Alternatively, you can choose to ride the horse without any formal training, though this might make handling it more challenging.
And that's how you can get a horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Whether you choose to reclaim your original companion or take a daring approach with theft, having a horse will significantly enhance your exploration of the game's expansive world.
