If you are on mobile don’t tame a level 95 like I tried to do each carrot did 1.3% and when I finally got it to eighty percent I accidentally tapped the carrot twice to feed which dismounted me, lost ten percent taming percentage and effectiveness. :( then to top it off when I quickly remounted it it was already bucking and I wasn’t ready… I was knocked out then lost ALL my progress. So in respect for the Equus I gave it it’s freedom and plonked it in a safe spot to taunt me every time I fly by. I was seconds away from lighting it up with a fabricated pistol but i felt like that would be a b!tch move. Just go for a bad lvl if on mobile, there are better mounts then those filthy bloody equestrians anyway…. Maybe I’m just salty lol

They can make lassos and work as a mortar and pestle with a saddle and you get an equus saddle by completing the “tame equus” mission

Find them in grasslands, just south of the snow biome.

They take a while to tame but are totally worth it ,

They are fast and strong and you can use a lasso while on it

For mobile (android and ios) if you're having difficulty feeding it in time remember you can put the food on your hotbar and go to settings -> controlls -> (left or right or both) multitap and set it to the inventory slot where you put the food so you can just double tap anywhere on your screen to feed it, also don't forget if you try to feed before it wants to or you miss the time I'll kick you and deal massive amount of torpor so it might be worth putting 1 or 2 points in fortitude and bringing stims and water

To get 97% taming bonus feed it 10×soothing balm from piranha percuit and feed it carrots while riding.it running on circle so tame one when nobad thing near otherwise if it takes damage you lost bonus percentage.

FOR CONSOLE ASA PLAYERS:

You need a keyboard for this now. You have to press E when it needs feeding on the keyboard as Y on the controller kicks you off.

Also, fun fact. Untamed Carchas as way faster than taming Equus.

Saw this in a different comment but it didn’t get voted enough for most people to see.

MOBILE PLAYERS- to buck kick swipe down with your steering hand. To do a normal attack just tap.

CONSOLE: Need a Keyboard in order to tame! Whenever prompted to feed click “E” to feed.

Lassoing is the new method of being an annoying asshat to new players!

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!!!!!!!

Equus can knock itself out if using too much stamina while buck kicking. This can happen in the middle of the fight. Potentially getting your equus killed

Slap a saddle on one of these zebra horses and make it your mobile chem bench. No need to bring stone back to your base to make spark for gunpowder any longer :-)

Really weird thing happend on mobile! I used one of these guys on a bush and I got a plant species X seed! Any ideas why?

Fun fact: the first one I tamed was the uni

Anyways, after my tip to taming (mine says things to note and cage taming and free taming) I decided to do a tip about what they can do, and how to find, etc.

First of all, the equus is extremely hard to find. They are like the diplocaulus of the land. They are easiest to find at the green obelisk. If you don’t find any, do a destroywilddinos command. Once I did this. Four appeared, two died instantly and then one did. Then the last one I picked up.

Second of all, they are great for taming! You could easily tame an army of dilos or a computer for a shoulder pet! They are one of the creatures that has amazing jump, like the Thyla and megaloceros. They are great for traveling if speed, weight, and health (health for any surprise attacks from wild Dinos) are upgraded.

Third of all, their saddle is an on-the-go-mortar-and-pestle. If you knock out a theri with tranq darts while exploring and are in need of some narcotics, get some old spoiled meat (maybe keep it with equus) and collect narcoberries. They aren’t too bad at berry collecting!

Last of all, they are just cute. Literally are sweet pony friends and you can build stables with a paddock and put them on wander, you could get 5 or more and ride one as the leader, you can do many things! People on servers can do “equus shows” for a small fee of a material that is needed too!

Have fun with equus!

Where can I find these? I spent 2 hours going up and down the island to find one. I eventually did in the redwoods (it died), and now I don't know what to do. Do I need to clear the dinos where they spawn or destroy rocks/trees to make them visible from argy? Idk help please 😔

Whenever I try to tame these guys, a raptor or any carnivore of some sort always attacks, and kills it. It takes me hours to find another one :(

Very good tip a Carnotaurus will always near anequs so be prepared

There are fire equus called nocti they’re very rare to find only in ark mobile tho

Build 4x4 thatch room with open roof, collect a bunch of carrots, find equus (recommend turning on pursuit to get directions to nearest one), grab with argy, bring to pen, take.
