How to tame equus:
Method 1: argy trap
Step 1: build a 1x1 box out of any material in a safe location the walls are 1 wall high
Step 2: locate equus
Step 3: pick up equus with argy and bring it to the box
Step 4: feed it (i recommend rockarots)and immediatly interact again to mount it
Step 5: feed it again everytime you are prompted to:
its jumping furiously around? Feed
Step 6: repeat step 5 until its tamed
Method 2: rare flower trap (this works in theory i havent tested it but its probably gonna work)
Step 1: build a medium sized box about 4x4 with walls around (and a doorframe somewhere ) with a ramp up one side
Step 2: locate equus
Step 3: eat rare flower and run up the ramp into the trap and when equus is inside the trap get out through the doorframe
Step 4,5 and 6: same as method 1
Hope this helped if you need more help i can recommend a youtuber called Tecorsuh on youtube he does really great taming tutorials wich are easy to follow and understand also he provides you with information about the taming duration and recommended taming food and some neat tips at the end of every tutorial plus he is still updating old tutorial because of changes with the dino or other.

More Equus Taming & KO Tips
I usually build a simple fence foundation and railing pen to use for passive tames. Then I’ll just take an Argy or a Dino able to carry them and drop them into the pen. That way they cant run half way across the map.
Noted: Where There Is Equus There Is Allo , Where There Is Allo There Is Tears. Ty For Reading! ♥️
When you try to tame these guys, go up to the back and bring at least 2 stacks of mejoberries. Also if you see one near an allo just get away from it, it has a 0% chance of living. Hope this helped and thanks for having the time to read my tip
Here's how you tame an equus in ark mobile:
Step 1 : Do not mount on the equus. For some reason, the ark mobile equus don't like it. It increases taming with rockarrots like 2% and not mounted taming makes it 20% ( level 15)
Step 2 : Feed it rockarrots from a safe distance. Don't let it see you. You can approach their hind legs (dont touch them) and feed rockarrots. Otherwise it runs away.
Step 3 : If it runs away, just don't follow it, just see where it is going. If it loses aggro. It will not stare at you. Then feed it again
Step 4 : A good tip is to enable the 'Tame: Equus' pursuit so you save engrams for equus saddle and get one for free.
Follow the process for mobile and bam!! You got yourself an equus
This stinking thing!!! So annoying!!! I was taming it on a cliff and I was a bit slow and it knocked me off. RIGHT INTO A SWAMP. I swear, while everything was eating me, sarcophagus, titanoboa and mega parana, I saw it laughing at me.
Never try to tame an equus with 9 rocarrots while surrounded by a spino, a rex and a therinozaur.
These guys are easy to tame low level but a 150! The tame percentage drops as the horse runs do good luck ever taming a high level one. Unless! You knock it out build a box around it wait for it to wake up and the tame to your hearts content.
A pain in the backside to tame on mobile
Best for knockouts!!! Dose lots of torpor.
