Horses are one of the most anticipated creatures in Hytale for their utility in world exploration. While the game is in an early stage and certain mechanical functions are still being developed, it is already possible to interact with them in several ways. This guide covers the current state of horses and how you can ride them.

Riding a horse in Hytale

In adventure mode, horses are easily frightened and will run away as soon as they detect you. If you hold carrots, heart particles appear, which suggests a taming system is planned, but for now, the animals will continue to flee regardless of the food.

In creative mode, however, horses stay calm, making it much easier to approach them.

How to Ride a Horse (in Adventure Mode)

To ride a horse in adventure mode, you must be persistent and manage to get close enough while it is running. Once you are within range, simply hold the F key to mount.

While you are mounted, the horse will obey you, allowing you to travel where you wish.

Keep in mind that as soon as you dismount, the animal will regain its wild instincts and move away.

Transport and care of Horses

An effective way to keep horses under control is to create a fenced area at your base.

To move young horses or foals over long distances, you can use a capture crate. This tool is crafted at the farmer's workbench and allows you to transport young animals safely to your home.

The horse system in Hytale shows great potential, allowing players to mount and transport them even though full taming is still on the way.
