You always want to be east to find equus. I most commonly see them in the very southeastern corner of the map [The island] up on the big cliff where there’s grassland or around the rivers— and occasionally on the beach.
Threats you may face going east:
Spinos, carnos, pulmonoscorpius, Raptors, sarcos, dilo packs
(This is just from all personal expirience I’ve had searching for Equus on my singleplayer world, but I guarantee you will find some in said areas.)
These things are a must have for every level!!! I know everyone says this about everything but I mean it. I cannot stress about how good they are. They are great at knock outs with their back attack and can easily knock out a carno before it can really deal damage. But you do need a lot of carrots, but it’s worth it. Keep in mind that if you tap the carrots when it isn’t hungry it will dismount you and run away and you will lose taming progress. Make sure the area is clear because it when you are mounted it doesn’t do anything if it is attacked and just dies.
I hope this helped!
They are in game and are a passive tame! To tame, use a rockarrot or Troodon kibble, put it in the last slot in your hot bar and feed it. Once fed, press 'e' to ride. At this point it will either try to buck you off or it'll run around. If it tries to buck you off, press 'e' again. Keep doing this process every time it tries to buck you off.
Equus' can be ridden with or without a saddle! Happy taming c: ❤
Don't try to tame these with mejoberries, I swear this took longer than an entire d&d session.
1- Tame an Iguanodon
2- Find a Scorpion in Southern Cave
3- Gather Raw Carrots
4-Mount Scorpion if Tamed
5- Stay close to the Horse w/ Carrots in inventory
6- feed until tame
THIS IS A PASSIVE TAME DO NOT KNOCK IT OUT
I wish this was a knockout tame 😭
Give your equus focal chili which will give 100% extra crafting speed and 25% extra speed then craft narcotic and stimulate really fast! people can see
There is also a rare unicorn tame but there is only one on the map at a time.
If you find one of these guys and happen to have a roccarrot you crouch and slowly approach them these guys will run like usain bolt
Quick tip: I was trying to tame one at my house and it bucked me off and my other tames thought it was hurting me so they killed it. Long story short, put all your other tames on passive if you want to tame it at your house.
How I tamed on mobile:
So you kinda need an argey to do this so if you don’t have an argey then you better get one cause they’re super helpful (but the saddle unlocks at lvl 62), anyway, you’ll need to make a pen with at least a 2x2 square floor and 2x2 square walls all around (one wall should be a simple door & doorframe) once built it should look like a box without a top (do NOT make the walls out of fence, THEY WILL HOP FENCES!)
Now you either make a good bit of dilo kibble or get a lot of carrots then you hop on your argey and go lookin for your horsey. (I like plain white ones similar to the pic on Dododex cause you can dye them fun colors) Once you find a good horsey just pick it up with your argey and head back to the pen you made and plop it in there (remember that your argey’s stamina will deplet faster cause it’s carrying something)
Now you can just go in the pen with your horsey and tame it! (To tame on mobile you ride it and feed it then get off and repeat) now all you gotta do is name and color (optional) your new horsey friend!

Cypher's tip
Here is a useful tip.
To tame one of these creatures, you would need berries or crops. The best is just Rockarrot. Approach one with the feeding item on the last item slot. Feed it and ride it. You'll need to press the action button (E for PC players) for everytime they stopped moving or the icon on the right flashes, prompting you to use it.
To get a 100% taming efficiency on this creature, avoid spamming the buttons and carefully timing your action button. Make sure that your surroundings are clear and there are not too many threats. They often run off into random areas that tends to be near a Giga territory.
They often spawn in large open fields so that is best to look for one. Good luck and have a good one.
I swear they always by something that wants to eat me
They are mostly found ( in my experience ) Where Carnivores are ( Raptors, Carnos, terror birds etc. ) So you really have to make sure the area is safe enough so you can hop on the equus and feed it. I hope this helps!
If you are patient enough you will see a mother with its juvenile 145 ready for you to press E on 😇
How to tame a equus (easy way):
Make a trap were ever you want it should be a 2×2 trap so it would not move grab it by using argy or bola it and build the trap surrounding it and now just feed it dont get on it feed it like pacife tame it will increas faster and if you are on mobile just do tame equus porsuit and you get high rank better than wasting engram point
Well the Equus is a hard tame,even a t-rex is easier but you will need around 30-60 carrots so to get that you will have to plant some get a medium plant crop and in order to the seeds go to the nearest forest and keep gathering plants until you get the seeds plant the seeds with fertilizer inside the plant crops.
Does anyone else have an eqqus that occasionally tames creatures when kicking. I have kick tamed 2 pegos, a carno and a terror bird without putting food in its inventory
