Go To The Location Where Wild Horses Can Be Found
If you want to get a horse, you first need to go to the location where wild horses can be found. In the early stages, the closest place is the "Passeri Greenbelt," which is south of the watchtower.
Passeri Greenbelt Location
Approach From Behind Without Being Noticed And Mount The Horse
Horses are sensitive creatures, so if you approach them normally, even from behind, they may flee. To avoid being noticed, start by positioning yourself behind the horse and then slowly approach while crouching. Keep an eye on the purple sound meter located in the bottom right corner of the screen to ensure that you're not making any noise.
Using The Paraglider To Approach From Above Is Also Another Option
If you directly land on the horse using the Paraglider from above, you can easily mount it without needing to crouch or use any special techniques. However, be aware that approaching from the front in this manner can alert the horse, so to avoid detection it's best to land from the rear end or hindquarters of the horse.
Rapidly Press The L Button Once You're Mounted
If the horse is spirited, it may start to buck as soon as you mount it, so it's necessary to calm it down. If you fail to calm it, you may be thrown off, so start rapidly pressing the L button as soon as you mount the horse.
The Capture Is Completed Once You Gain Control Of The Horse
When the horse becomes calm and you can control it, it is proof that the capture is complete. However, at this point, you still cannot call the horse, so don't forget to register it.
How To Register Horse
Go To The Nearest Horse Stable
Once you have caught a horse, the first step is to go to a horse stable and register it. It's important to register the horse because if you leave it unattended without the registration, there's a chance it may disappear if you lose sight of it. To register the horse, while riding it, use the ZL button to lock on and speak to the stable clerk or receptionist.
The New Serenne Stable Is The Nearest In Early Stages Of The Game
Once you land on the surface, you won't be able to use the horse stable at the watchtower. If you want to register your horse, head northwest on the map to find the "New Serenne Stable," which is the closest and easily recognizable location. Just be aware that you'll need to cross a bridge with a Hinox, so try to dash across it quickly to avoid it.
How To Call Horse
You Can Call The Horse Anytime Once Registered
Registering a horse at a horse stable requires 20 Rupees, but once registered, you can call the horse at any horse stable. All horse stables are interconnected, so even if you are far away, the stable owner can bring the horse to you. This means you no longer need to go personally to retrieve the horse.
Up To 6 Horses Can Be Registered
There are a total of 6 horses that can be registered at a horse stable. If you try to register more than that, you will need to release one of the horses first. Keep in mind this limitation and remember that you must let go of a horse before attempting to register another one.
