You, as Henry, face a crucial decision: choosing your trusty steed from two contenders, Pebbles and Herring. The prologue cruelly strips you of your original horse, leaving you to rebuild your stable. So, which horse reigns supreme in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Finding Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Your reunion with Pebbles occurs at the Semine estate, before Lord Semine and Agnes's wedding. She's patiently waiting in the stables, but requires a purchase to become your ride during the "The Jaunt" quest with Jan Semine. Think of her as a loyal companion, much like Mutt, another friend found through side quests. Pebbles offers a familiar comfort, having been Henry's steed before the game's events.
Acquiring Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Herring enters the picture after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." If you're horseless, Otto von Bergow generously gifts him to you. However, if you already own a horse, you can sell Herring to Kabat for 300 Groschen, transferring him to nomad traders.
Pebbles vs. Herring: The Ultimate Showdown

Pebbles emerges as the victor. While not boasting the highest post-boost stats, her lower purchase price and faster perk unlock (after 35 kilometers versus Herring's 50) make her a more economical choice. Her boosted stats are impressive: 217 stamina, 353 capacity, 53 speed, and 12 courage. Plus, her sentimental value as Henry's pre-game companion is undeniable.
For extensive travel, a reliable steed is essential. Pebbles offers that reliability, combined with decent stats and a cost-effective acquisition. She's the perfect choice for Henry's journey.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
