Horses and wagons — Horse care

Horses have Speed, Stamina, Endurance and Strength. Feeding improves your bond.

Stat rule	Value
Initial value of each stat	20–80
Increase to each stat per 5 bond points	+1
Maximum bonus at bond 100	+20

Food	Feed supplied	Bonding
Oats	24 game hours	Feeding improves bonding
Hand-fed Apple	4 game hours	Improves bonding

Care rule	Effect
At least 30 game hours of feed remaining	Horse refuses more food
After one accepted meal	Supply can reach 48 game hours
Long journeys	Horse eats Oats from your pack or wagon
Stabled horse	Fed automatically

Let a winded horse recover before galloping again.

The Horse care setting changes how much maintenance matters:

Setting	Effect
Off	Classic riding without food, stat or stamina management.
Boons	Care provides bonuses. Starvation and exhaustion prevent galloping without reducing normal riding speed. This is the default.
Hard	Neglect reduces stats, exhausted horses must walk, bonds can decay, and team Strength matters when pulling a loaded wagon.

Coat, pattern and leg markings are free cosmetic choices and can be changed at any time.
