'''Horse''' Horses are ridable [[creatures|animals]]. Being mounted provides a very substantial advantage in combat. It is usually much easier to kill a rideable strong opponent when riding. In addition, mounts are unaffected by the rider's [[animalstamina]] primarily found on and [[Terrain:Steppe|steppehealth]], 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 [[Grass tiles|grasscrocodile]] lands). Wild This is especially true when carrying loads above a bare minimum because horses (those that spawn somewhere in the wild) are grey. Bred horses come in one of 5 known colour types: black, white, grey, brown, goldnot slowed as much as players are when carrying heavy loads.

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).

=== Body Form ===Horses can be ridden up have varying body types based on their traits. These body types are: hot-blooded, characterised by a wiry build and down speed traits; warm-blooded, with a straight 30 slope ramp medium build and mixed traits; or anywhere the sum of two neighbouring sides of cold-blooded, featuring a tile do not exceed 30husky 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, or when branded by whoever has [[permissions]].

If the speed of a horse slows suddenly, and mounts will go neither up nor down slopes over without a certain maxweight or terrain increase, so then the horse is most likely hungry.

*Bred horses have individual (but not unique) [[horse names|names]] randomly chosen at birth. They can have traits affecting their speed and other [[animal conditions|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 [[:Category:Vehicles|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#Traits|animal husbandry]] for a full list of traits. == Equipment == Equipment that can be equipped on tamed or branded horses:*[[Bridle]]*[[Saddle]]*[[Horse shoe]]*[[Cloth barding]], [[dyeable cloth barding]], [[leather barding]], and [[chain barding]] == Notes == *They can be [[Creatures#Leading|led]] with a rope by anybody without being tamed, but they are [[mounts|ridable]] only with 21 [[body control]].*Horses can be [[tame]]d with [[seeds]] and some [[vegetable]]s.
