This is a lot easier to tame than I thought it was! Step 1: with a dino that’s good at gathering berries, get some rock carrot seeds
(I suggest a Bigfoot or stego) step 2: plant and grow carrots (carrots work best but mejo berries will work as well) Step 3: sneak up to a horse and feed it with a carrot (or mejo berry) in the last slot of your hot bar. Step 4: Immediately mount it and repeat until tamed.
Thank you for reading! Hope it helps you fellow horse lovers!
Bola it, make a 1x1 square around it with fence foundations and then place doorframes around the horse. Walk up, feed a carrot, and tame without having to run straight into the mouth of an Allosaur. You’re welcome. :)
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!
found a really pretty equus after searching for days and i was 3 berries short.
I saw a unicorn once stupid sabertooths
Fricking Brontos and Rexs are easier to take then this
In order to tame an equus you will have to sneak up behind it and feed it Rockarrot and ride on it and again feed it rockarrot it will start moving but won't run to far when it trys to kick you off feed it another rockarrot and repeat it and boom you have tamed an equus do the pursuit tame equus to find it keep flying or walking and an arrow will appear showing its location and after you tame it with pursuit you will get its saddle the saddle will work as a mortar and pestle.
These things are incredibly bugged on mobile. Taming rates vary between equus and literally the same equus on the very same level. Bring more supplies than you believe you should.
Example: Dododex calc says you can tame a lv 270 equus with 1 dilo kibble on 8.75x (mobile soothing balm), I found a lv 250 equus, brought 7 dilo kibble, and used a balm. 1 kibble without mounting gives 28%, after mounting gives 14%. Heh.
Also, while riding these things to tame, swiping up repeatedly will get it to jump, and swiping down (or whatever button you use for kick) slows it down to a crawl. This may be beneficial for taming but it's still most likely a bug anyway since wiki doesn't list it.
From the creators of Ford Mustang bring you ford equus
If your looking for these guys, I don't know if it's a guaranteed spawn but if you look around the rivers around the green obelisk, they seem to spawn to up to groups of three. I've tamed two from that same area, but be careful. That area has rexes, carnos, spinos, and allos, so bring something that can kill them. If you can't find any equus, just clear out the area. Also not about equus, but ovis can spawn here as well. I found two of them here in the jungle...
Can't find them? Grab your coconut shells and occasionally shout 'Ni!' - you'll find one before long
It will run half the map away from you
Until it runs into a Rex
A great travelling companion on many of the Ark maps. The Equus has a unique taming method, where you must walk up to it, feed it(their preferred food is Rockarrots), and ride it. The horse will attempt to buck you off, but when it does, press the prompted button and you will stay on and increase its taming percentage. You cannot control the horse while you are riding a wild one, so be sure to clear out the area you decide to tame it in.
Tamed one, and that’s enough for me, after that week of trying ima kill every one I see from here on out
You don't need to see were it went just get rockarrots and feed then ride keep feeding
And boom got yourself an equus.up so beginners can see
pfft. ark gave them the wrong name. Equus is actually just a horse. They’re actually called Allohippus. Yeah. Uhhh thanks

Here's a quick tip:
Don't mount an equus while trying to tame it.
Instead walk up to it (Don't let it bump into you) and feed it. Taming progress is twice as high when you tame them this way.
If hard to find on The Island, a herd seem to spawn near the red obelisk, green obelisk and the black sand area off the river next to the redwoods, I killed a bunch of low levels for some easy pelt and I came back after 10-15 minutes, after I found a 145 Equus. Hopefully you found this helpful.
