11Overview22Horse Items are equipment and consumables for your horse mounts in Crimson Desert. They fall into two main categories: tack (permanent equipment that boosts your horse's stats) and feed (consumable items that restore your horse's health or stamina). Horse tack can be purchased from Saddlery Vendors found near stables throughout Pywel, or crafted from materials. Feed items are obtained from vendors, gathered from the world, or crafted.44Stat Categories77Each piece of horse tack provides a bonus to one or more of the following stats. Understanding these stats helps when choosing which equipment to prioritize for your mount.99Horse Tack1211Tack is permanent equipment that you attach to your horse to improve its stats. Tack is divided into four equipment slots: saddle, stirrups, champron (head armor), and horseshoes.1413Saddles1615Saddles increase your horse's maximum health pool, making the mount more durable in combat and during long rides.1817IconSaddleEffectDescriptionShabby Horse SaddleHealth +25A travel saddle made of leather, softened by years of use with quilted padding.Delmar SaddleHealth +50A sleek, polished brown leather saddle with a high pommel and cantle featuring a sharp yet classic silhouette.2019Stirrups2120Stirrups provide passive health regeneration to your horse over time, helping it recover during and between encounters.2322IconStirrupsEffectDescriptionCrude StirrupsHealth: +10 every 1 secCrudely hammered from rough cast iron with visible rust patches and signs of neglect.

Early in the game, players receive or can purchase shabby-tier items that provide minimal bonuses. As the story progresses and more regions become accessible, higher-quality tack from regional artisans and specialized vendors becomes available.5149Early Game: Shabby Horse Saddle (+25 Health) and Shabby Horseshoes (+1 Attack, +1 Stamina/sec) are the first items most players obtain. Crude Stirrups (+10 Health/sec) round out the starting set.5451Mid Game: The Delmar Saddle (+50 Health) doubles the saddle bonus. Silver Iron Horseshoes (+2 Attack, +2 Stamina/sec) replace the shabby pair. Hernand-crafted stirrups (+30 Health/sec) provide a substantial healing upgrade.5653Late Game: The Hernandian Champron (+7 Attack) and Hernandian Barding (+20 Defense) are gated behind contribution and quest progress. The Hernandian Barding in particular is a contribution reward, so building reputation through community activities is essential for maximizing your horse's defensive capability.5855When upgrading, prioritize saddle and stirrups first for survivability, then horseshoes for mounted combat damage. Champrons and barding are powerful but come later in progression.6057Pre-Order and Edition Exclusive Horse Tack6259Certain horse tack sets are available exclusively through pre-order bonuses or special editions of the game.
