Saddles are essential mount gear in Crimson Desert that you equip on your horse. They come in various styles and rarities, from the basic Shabby Horse Saddle to legendary pieces like the Delesyian Saddle and Hagmund Saddle.

Saddles are one of five mount gear slots available for your horse in Crimson Desert. The five equipment types are: Saddle, Stirrups, Horseshoes, Champron, and Barding. Each slot provides different stat bonuses:
Saddle increases maximum Horse Health
Horseshoes add Health regeneration per second
Champron increases Horse Attack
To equip a saddle, summon and mount your horse, open your inventory, and switch to the mount inventory tab (R2 on controller). Select the saddle from your items and equip it. Picking up a saddle does not automatically equip it; you must manually assign it.
Saddles come in five tiers, corresponding to rarity levels. Higher-tier saddles provide greater stat bonuses and are generally found in later regions of the game:
Tier | Rarity | Examples | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
T1 | Common | ||
T2 | Uncommon | Delmar, Blue Scout, Purple Scout, Exclaire, Hyperion, Varnian, Wells's Warhorse | Various saddleries, Twitch Drops, edition bonuses |
T3 | Rare | Sahareum, Servano | Mid-game saddleries |
T4 | Epic | Berkei, Branique, Hernandian | |
T5 | Legendary | Delesyian, Demenissian, Hagmund | Delesyian Saddlery, Demeniss Saddlery (Fiona), late-game vendors |

Saddles are sold at Saddlery shops located throughout Pywel. Each saddlery is run by a named NPC and stocks region-specific gear:
Saddlery | NPC | Location | Notable Saddles |
|---|---|---|---|
Hernand Saddlery | Northeast of City of Hernand | ||
Equinsher | |||
Eldred's Saddlery | North of City of Pailune | ||
Demeniss Saddlery | North of Demeniss Castle | Demenissian gear | |
Varnia Saddlery | NPC | Near Alabaster Bridge, Varnia | |
Delesyian Main Saddlery | NPC | Near Finhold Netmakers, south of Delesyian Institute |
All saddles can be refined at a blacksmith to permanently increase their base stats. Refinement uses Tempering Materials and does not cost silver. Each piece of gear has up to ten refinement levels. Early levels require basic ores and timber, while higher levels demand rare materials and Abyss Artifacts. Visit Blacksmith Turnali in the center north district of Hernand to begin refining your mount gear.
A practical saddle upgrade path through the game:

Early game: Start with the Shabby Horse Saddle from Annabella in Hernand, then upgrade to the Delmar Saddle (available southeast of Fernand) for +50 Health.
Hernand region: Pick up the Hernandian Saddle (+250 Health) from Annabella's shop alongside the Hernandian Champron and Stirrups.
Mid-game: Transition to the Berkei Saddle (T4, 1,873 silver) from Eldred's Saddlery in Pailune, or the Branique Saddle (T4, 673 silver) for a budget option.
End-game: Acquire a Legendary saddle: the Delesyian (5,020 silver, highest stats), Demenissian (2,340 silver, from Fiona in Demeniss), or Hagmund (2,340 silver). Refine it to +10 for maximum performance.
Saddles are essential mount gear. Equip a saddle to unlock your horse's full potential.
Higher-rarity saddles may provide additional comfort or speed benefits during long rides.
