How to get a horse in V Rising

Horses in V Rising don’t spawn naturally in the Farbane Woods, so you’ll need to venture into the Dunley Farmlands in order to find your first horse. This area is far more dangerous than the Farbane Woods, so make sure you’ve hit at least level 30 before attempting to delve into the game’s second major region.

There are numerous farms and other areas of the Dunley Farmlands which contain horses. When you get near one such area, open up your map and hover over the area to see which resources that area contains. If horses are listed, then you’ve just found an area where horses spawn!

To claim a horse as your own, all you need to do is approach one and interact with it to ride it. This will make it your own horse right away, and you can then proceed to ride it back to your home, ready to take on all your future journeys.

Horse stats in V Rising

Each horse’s stats are randomised when they are spawned into the world, so if you want to pick the very best horse you can find, you should hop onto each horse at least once so you can compare their stats and then return home with the very best on offer.

How to keep your horse alive

Horses require water to stay alive. If you open your inventory while near a horse that you own, you’ll see in the right-hand window a 1x3 grid where you can add water-filled canteens. Just like theCastle Heartusing up Blood Essence, a horse will slowly consume the water in its inventory.

If a horse runs out of water, it will only last a certain amount of time before dying. Fortunately, you can also see in the horse’s inventory how long the water in its inventory will last, giving you an idea of how often you need to keep tending to the horse’s needs.
