Getting Your Horse Back in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
First off, let's talk about retrieving your original horse, Pebbles. You can embark on a journey to the southern part of the map to reach Semine, where you'll find a horse trader NPC willing to help you reunite with your old friend. However, this isn't a simple transaction; the trader won't just hand over Pebbles without some negotiation. You have a few options:
- Pay with Groschen: If you have enough in-game currency, you can simply buy Pebbles back.
- Persuade or Intimidate: If you're skilled in speech, you can attempt to talk the trader into giving up Pebbles for free. During my playthrough, I followed the main questline and worked with Radovan the blacksmith to acquire some noble attire for Henry. This disguise helped me successfully persuade the trader, although it did slightly tarnish my reputation in Semine.
Should persuasion not be your forte, be prepared to spend those Groschen to get Pebbles back.
How to Steal a Horse
If reclaiming Pebbles isn't your cup of tea, another route you can take is to acquire a new horse through less conventional means—stealing. Finding a horse in the wild might be a rare occurrence in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, so your best bet is to target farms or stables where horses are more likely to be found.
I suggest making your way to Vidlak Pond in the west, where a farmhouse owned by fishermen sits in the wilderness. They have two horses that you can easily mount and ride off with. Once you've secured your new horse, head to the Nomads' Camp just east of Vidlak Pond. Here, you can speak with the horse trainer NPC who will teach you how to saddle and tame your stolen steed. Keep in mind, though, that you'll need to compensate the trainer for his services.
Alternatively, if you're feeling bold, you can skip the training and ride your new horse freely around the world.
And there you have it—a comprehensive guide on how to get a horse in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and in-depth information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
