Tips & Strategies
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!

More Equus Taming & KO Tips
They would rather jump off a cliff than be tamed by me.
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
As of 12/23/23 if you are on console trying to tame these in Ark Ascended it’s bugged. During the taming process when you get prompted to feed the button to do so on console doesn’t work it’ll just buck you or you dismount it.
Taming one of these is a pain, which is what I named mine after taming a level one hundred. Here's what you'll need:
•An Argentavis
•A passive tame pen, ideally 4x4
•Dilophosaur kibble or Rockaroot.
Depending on the level, I’d say grab a minimum of 50 and a max of 150 Rockaroots, as for kibble you should be fine with 15-20 of them.
Here's a few pointers;
•Start the tame an Equus quest on mobile.
•Find a decent leveled Equus.
•Carry it to your passive take pen and drop it in.
•Equip the taming food on your very last hotbar slot.
•Sneak up on the Equus and feed it then immediately mount.
•Once mounted feed it only when hungry.
Sooner or later you'll have one.
The benefits definitely show once obtained, they knock out most dinos with a few kicks and you can lasso the ones knocked inside of water as well. They also act as a traveling mortar and pestle so keep some spoiled meat and narcoberries on you.
My Equus was level 100, turned 149 after 99.9% efficiency taking. It took around half an hour and 100 Rockaroots over all. Hopefully this helps!
If you plan on taming one of these guys MAKE SURE you have A LOT OF CARROTS taming it with berries it takes A LONG TIME to get one with berries so once again HAVE A LOT OF CARROTS!!!!!!!
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.
