If you want to sneak up on it without spooking it then crouch as you approach it
Equus
The Equus is a horse-like creature that can be mounted with special saddles. While mounted, survivors can use whips and lassos.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Encountered a unicorn on herbivore island ounce be wary though will run in water and most likely die by megaladons
For early game, just find a low level (only up to 25) and if you have a high taming rate it should only tame 10 or so mejoberries
Always use an Argy to drop into a 4x4 stone doorframe pen for taming. Then wear ghillie suit and crouch to passively tame without agro. Crops are best and dont forget to start with soothing balm.
So, I found 2 ovis while looking for one of these. I don't think ark will except my dreams of horse riding. And the ovis weren't even a breeding pair.

***TAMING*** on mobile
After taming 3 of these guys and chasing them all across the map and 2 accidentally getting eating this is what you do, tame an argy, find an equus. Once you have the equus you want hover over the horse while on your argy and swipe up on the left side and boom you’ve picked up your equus. Before hand, make sure your Argys stamina is up as well as his speed so your argy can carry the equus to your base. At your base MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 3X3 PEN THAT IS STONE WITH WINDOWS. so you can feed the equus without getting close close. And each carrot gives the equus about 5% so do the math 50 carrots to be safe. Enjoy. Up this if this helped you.

Tame a scropion animals are not aggro on mobile toward you if you attack them or are riding by, but I would still try to steer clear of the bigger carnivores. You might as well get the lowest lev one since it doesn’t make a difference since theses things have unlimited stamina and then about 30 carrots, I tamed mine on level 1, and the quest gives you a saddle for free, so don’t get the enagram.-snail lover
Use track darts or get carrots and then trap them and then u can tame them also be sure you find one before getting carrots the carrots will decompose*up if this helps*
I got my first one at level 68. They always bucked me off even if I fed them dilo kibble and ran away so I trapped one in my work in progress creature pen and he could not run away! Now I have a equus and I named him “Took Too Long”
Get some carrots. Ride it. Then tame it.
Found a Unicorn between grass and ice biomie Soothing Balm it and Tamed with Griff kibble
Pick it with an argy or anything bigger (yes argies can pick them up even though it says they cant) drop it in a taming pin and then mount it. Alot easier then running crazy
READ THIS If YOU WANT AN EQUUS
from experience tranq it build a cage around it make sure the cage is big!!! Than sneak up behind it than bam

Guys when you’re trying to knock out another creature with the equus kick, use your spyglass and do the alternate attack and you will be able to hit the creature multiple times in 2 seconds. It’s an incredibly useful trick and even I didn’t think it would work once I had the idea but I tested it on a parasaur and it worked! So try using this trick next time you run out of tranq arrows and have to use equus tip.
P.S. I don’t hv pc or console so plz know that it probably only works on mobile.
They can collect berries and fiber well, I tame these guys loads:really helps you get food in those early days.
Was kinda easy I built a pen (4 foundation + 8 door frames)
Used my argy to pick it up n dropped in pen I used rockcarrot in tame slot and boom I had one
Up for other to see
I saw a unicorn once next to my base and 3 raptors hanged up on he poor thing damn raptors
Before you tame one of these you should get crops or carrots so you’re ready to tame it and so that you can get it on the first try
Not a tip but could someone tell me where they spawn. I recently lost all my progress (lvl 80)
When taming do not dismount for any reason on ark mobile. I accidentally tapped dismount when taming my second equus and the taming affectedness dropped from 100% to 80%. Also was using rock carrots.
