In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the vast open-world beckons you to explore on horseback, making it impractical to travel on foot. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to secure the best horse in the game, ensuring your journey across the medieval landscape is as efficient and enjoyable as possible.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Best Horse

The crown for the best horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* goes to Pebbles. This superior steed becomes available once you unlock the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. While other horses might boast marginally better stats, Pebbles stands out due to its affordability and ease of acquisition.

Once the perk is activated, Pebbles boasts impressive stats:

• Stamina: 217
• Capacity: 353
• Speed: 53
• Courage: 12

How to Get Pebbles

You can acquire Pebbles early in the game by heading to Semine and negotiating with the horse trader NPC. If your Speech skill is high enough, you can persuade the trader to give you Pebbles for free. Otherwise, a small payment will be required.

To unlock Pebbles' full potential, you'll need to ride approximately 35 km with him. This mileage will unlock the "Good Old Pebbles" perk, significantly boosting his stats and making him one of the top horses in the game. Given the high cost and difficulty in obtaining other top-tier horses, Pebbles remains the most practical choice.

Other Horse Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

If you're interested in exploring other equine options, consider these alternatives:

• Herring (Trosky Castle): Available for free after completing the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quest, though it lags slightly behind Pebbles in capacity and speed. A perk is required to maximize its potential.
• Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) in the game, but comes with a hefty price tag of 5,260 groschen.
• Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): An excellent all-rounder that surpasses Pebbles in speed and courage, yet costs a steep 7,560 groschen.

These alternatives, while offering slight stat improvements, come at a significant cost, making Pebbles the most cost-effective and efficient choice for most players.
