Crimson Desert opens before players a huge world that can last for hundreds of hours. The giant, intricately detailed map is full of content: from random encounters to ancient ruins. Therefore, you will undoubtedly need a reliable steed. In this guide, we will tell you about riding animals. You will learn where to buy consumables, as well as how to treat horses.
At the start of the game, the hero has a horse, which can be summoned at any time during exploration of the world. It has its own health and stamina stats, as well as unique characteristics and abilities. We will tell you in detail about horses and care for them.
When buying a steed, it’s important to consider the characteristics which may differ greatly from other horses. For example, one may run for a long time but slowly, while another does the opposite.

How to Heal Your Horse
There are special consumables for taking care of horses, sold by special merchants – saddlers, which can be found in stables. For example, at the start you will find a saddler near the Hernando castle, not far from the northern entrance to the city.
Next, we will tell you about products for horses:
Hay: Restores health;
Beetroot: Restores health;
Sugar Cube: Restores stamina;
Horse Tonic: Fully restores health;
Horse Stimulant: Fully restores stamina.
You can feed your horse directly from your inventory or by placing food at its feet. Do this as far away from other horses as possible, because they will try to sneak food instead of your horse. This same trick can be used to tame wild horses.

In addition to consumables, Saddlers sell the following less important items that affect the horse’s stats:

Shampoo: Attack;
Saddles: Maximum health;

The game world is vast, and it will take you a lot of time to travel from one point to another. Therefore, buy top-quality equipment for your horse and stock up on consumables to the maximum, as well as increase the level of trust. This requires riding, petting, and feeding your steed a lot.
