The Best Horse: Pebbles

Pebbles emerges as the superior choice, particularly after unlocking the "Good Old Pebbles" perk. Although other horses boast marginally better base stats, Pebbles' accessibility and cost-effectiveness make it unbeatable. With the perk activated, Pebbles boasts impressive attributes:

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

Acquiring Pebbles

Pebbles is obtainable early in the game. Visit the horse trader in Semine. A high Speech skill allows you to acquire Pebbles for free; otherwise, a modest fee is required. Crucially, riding Pebbles for approximately 35 km unlocks the "Good Old Pebbles" perk, significantly enhancing its stats. This makes Pebbles a top contender, surpassing other options due to their high cost and difficulty in acquisition. The minor stat increases offered by alternative mounts simply don't justify their expense.

Alternative Mounts

While Pebbles reigns supreme, alternative mounts exist:

• Herring (Trosky Castle): Obtained for free after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." While a decent mount, it lags behind Pebbles in capacity and speed, and requires a perk to reach its full potential.
• Kincsern (Kuttenberg): Boasts the highest stamina (235) and speed (60) but commands a hefty price of 5,260 groschen.
• Pisek Lad (Kuttenberg): Another strong all-arounder, exceeding Pebbles in speed and courage, but priced exorbitantly at 7,560 groschen.

The significant cost and minimal stat improvements of these alternatives solidify Pebbles' position as the most practical and effective horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
