Grabbing your first horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 makes life a lot easier. Rather than traipsing across the vast countryside on foot, you'll be able to speedily explore each new area, and escape any bandit muggers on the road you can't be arsed fighting. Considering how often you get attacked by roadside bandits at inopportune times, a method of escape is a must-have.
If you follow the instructions below, you can get your first horse for free, though you'll want to upgrade to a new nag as soon as possible, if only to increase carry capacity for all your loot and ill-gotten gains. I also explain the easiest way to get a better horse, especially if you're morally minded and don't want to pinch some poor stranger's steed.
