In-Game Text

"To quote a dictum of Simon, what a horse does under compulsion he does blindly, and his performance is no more beautiful than would be that of a ballet-dancer taught by whip and goad. The performances of horse or man so treated would seem to be displays of clumsy gestures rather than of grace and beauty. What we need is that the horse should of his own accord exhibit his finest airs and paces at set signals."

– On Horsemanship, Xhenophon - 400 BC

Never has there been truly great civilization that did not manage to partner itself with horses. Willful, steadfast, and swift, a horse makes for an excellent companion for those who travel. Horse riding instructs pilgrims on the basics of operating a mount.

Taming a Horse

Wild Horses spawn in the Terrain/Plains biomes. After equipping a Wild Whip right click on the wild horse and whip it. Whipping the horse will drain around 40 humors, so ensure that you have at minimum 40 in all humors or the action will do nothing. After whipping the horse there will be a timer that can be seen by attempting to whip the horse again. This timer scales down with Flora & Fauna starting at around 12 hours. After whipping the wild horse three times, the wild horse will turn into a Horse which can be ridden.
