How to Keep and Sell Stolen Horses in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Select Language:

The world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is twice the size of the previous game, offering two regions filled with quests, characters, and adventures. Traveling across this vast land needs a trustworthy mode of transportation, and in medieval times, horses were the best option.

Horses in the game vary in shape, color, and stats, but if you’re aiming for the best ones, you need to know where to find them. Sometimes, the top horses aren’t always yours to keep, but there’s a trick you can use.

How to Keep Stolen Horses

Stealing horses is straightforward—you just approach and mount one. But beware; if someone sees you, they might report you to the guards. When you steal a horse, you only borrow it temporarily, as ownership doesn’t transfer. To truly own a stolen horse, you need help from Horse Handlers, who can settle the issue for you. Every region has at least one of these traders.

In Trosky, the Horse Handler Mikolai is located west of the city, near the Nomad camp. In Kuttenberg, Horse Handler Stoia can be found just west of the city in a deserted camp. To deal with a stolen horse, simply bring it to them, make sure you’re not caught, and speak to them. If it’s your first time, select the Horse Black Market option to learn about their services.

Acquire Stolen Horses

If you see a horse you like, either because it looks good or has desirable stats, you can bring it to any Horse Handler and choose the Acquire option. You’ll need to pay a fee based on the horse’s value, but once processed—a few in-game hours—you’ll own the horse. You can then summon it by whistling, and there’s no penalty for doing so.

Sell Stolen Horses

If you’re looking to make quick cash, selling stolen horses could be a good strategy. Ride the horse to a nearby Horse Handler and select the Sell option. The price you get will depend on the horse’s worth. Just be careful not to get caught with a stolen horse during this process.

Keeping vs. Selling Stolen Horses

Deciding whether to keep or sell a stolen horse depends on what you need most: speed and mobility or cash. Keeping a good horse early in the game gives you a clear advantage—faster travel, higher stamina, and greater courage. It can also save money since exchanging a stolen horse through a handler tends to be cheaper than buying a similar one.

However, not every stolen horse is worth keeping. If its stats are below or do not match your current horse, it’s better to sell it. Handlers pay well for unwanted horses, turning a bad steal into quick profit. This extra coin can help you buy gear, repair your equipment, or fund future attempts at acquiring better mounts.
