How to Tame Horses in Hytale

by

Even though Hytale is still in development, there’s already plenty to experience and discover. The game features a wide variety of animals, though you’ll likely find them roaming freely in the wild. You can also find and interact with different types of horses as you explore.

I’ve also discovered a reliable method for taming horses, and this guide will walk you through it, even showing you how to raise foals. Let’s get started and capture some wild horses!

How to Tame Horses

Hytale is still being developed, so there isn’t a built-in feature to tame horses yet. But you can capture and keep them, even though they’ll still act like wild animals. I’ll also explain how to care for baby horses, called foals.

How To Keep Horses

Okay, so getting a horse in Hytale is pretty simple! You basically just need to head out into the world and start looking. I was lucky enough to stumble across one after only about five minutes of exploring, so they’re definitely out there if you keep your eyes peeled!

Once you’re close enough, just press the F key to get on the horse. Then you’ll be able to ride around!

Some important things to keep in mind:

  • Don’t mount from the back – the horse will most likely kick you
  • You can equip a carrot to make the horse less skittish but for some reason you can’t mount them until you spook them again.

Once you’ve finished riding, simply put the horse in a pen or safe area to keep it contained. This way, a horse will always be available whenever you’d like to ride again.

But the horse is still wild – even in the enclosure. So, approach it like one or it will kick you!

How To Capture Foals (Baby Horses)

As a horse lover, I’ve noticed you’ll sometimes see young foals running around in the game, and sadly, you can’t ride them yet. But the cool thing is, you can actually capture them if you want to!

You’ll need to make a Capture Crate to do this. You can unlock the recipe for it by building and placing a Farmer’s Workbench.

The Capture Crate requires the following materials:

  • Any Wood x4 – Obtained by chopping down any type of tree.
  • Essence of Life x50 – Mainly obtained through harvesting crops, including the ones found randomly in the wild.

Once you’ve located the foal, simply walk up to it carrying the Capture Crate and click to capture it. After that, you can move the foal into a suitable enclosure.

Currently, young horses don’t fully mature in the game, so this feature will probably be added in a future update.

Conclusion

So, that covers everything about keeping horses in Hytale! Even though the full taming feature isn’t available yet, you can still keep horses at your base and ride them whenever you like. Hopefully, the developers will add more in-depth animal management features in the future!
