Really good for early game, it's how most good players start, simply spawn on Ragnarok in the Highlands and near the lighthouse you will find a natural garden of carrots to tame the horses.They are a common spawn in the Highlands. Slightly different and more complicated to tame then normal Dino's so I would check that but one tamed they can be ridden without a saddle(you have to be LV 10 to tame one). With the saddle there inventory acts as a mortar and pestle as well as the only way in the game to craft a lasoo. Lasoos are useful for taming as if you knock out Dino like a pteradon you can lasoo it and drag to a more convenient location. They also harvest berries, thatch and wood well. They have normally around 400 weight which is good and they are fairly fast. All round good mount for early game...ffs why do I have the time to right that I'm sad lol.

They’re fast, the leap distance is incredible. When saddled it becomes a mobile mortar & pestle. Always wanted to make narcotics on the go? Now you can! The back-kick does torpor damage. Aside from being squishy (health is always low), these are a perfect early game mount.

I don’t know if anyone else realised but when tamed you can craft everything the mortar and pestle can while riding the Equus

Give it a lick. It tastes just like raisins. It's amazing.

Don't Listen to people who say that they are waste of time. If are probably used they will be the best early game dino ever and in taming you just have to complete hunt Megapirana task and you will get a 10X smoothing balm and then gather 8 to 10 bushes and you will get 2 carrots then just go and tame it.

BEST THINGS ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO A CONTINUOUS TORPOR DAMAGE WITH THEIR KICK NOT LIKE OTHER CREATURES LIKE PACHY AND SCORPION. AND YOU AND EASILY MAKE NARCOTICS IN THEM SO THEY ARE VERY GOOD FOR TAMING.

BTW THIS IS MY FIRST TIP.

Since I haven’t seen anyone say this, equus have six ‘classes’ based off of their power on mobile. If it’s power is 1.99 or less its in the lazy ‘class’, if it’s power is 2-3.09 it’s in the ‘normal’ class and will not have a special name when born, if it’s power is 3.10-4.50 it’s in the ‘swift’ class, if it’s power is 4.51-6.64 it’s in the ‘maiden’ class, if it’s power is 6.65-13.32 it’s in the ‘racing’ class, and finally, if it’s power is 13.33 above it’s in the ‘thoroughbred’ role. This is a good way to get a guess on a babies power when it’s born.

Using lasso on Equus can help you a lot in taming progress, as the lasso can drag many creatures even if they are unconscious!

Very good beginner tame because you can do torpor damage using the kick and it requires no saddle to ride
