Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
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.
You always want to be east to find equus. I most commonly see them in the very southeastern corner of the map [The island] up on the big cliff where there’s grassland or around the rivers— and occasionally on the beach.
Threats you may face going east:
Spinos, carnos, pulmonoscorpius, Raptors, sarcos, dilo packs
(This is just from all personal expirience I’ve had searching for Equus on my singleplayer world, but I guarantee you will find some in said areas.)
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. :)
Instead of stupid crap how about Actual tips on how to tame things
When you riding it just let a friend feed him,it works 👍🏻
be prepared to get Dizzy when taming the Equus
Anyone else not able to stay on them on Xbox. Kicks me off everytime I’ve tried multiple different horses
CONSOLE: Need a Keyboard in order to tame! Whenever prompted to feed click “E” to feed.
These guys don’t need a saddle for you to ride them! Basically the only reason why you should get the saddle is cuz the saddle has a mortar and pestle in it. So for you low-levels, try to tame one of these as soon as you can. All you need is a few rockcarrots or berries(might take a while using berries) and you have an incredibly useful tame that runs fast and is able to carry a decent weight (somewhere around 350-450 kg).
A lot of these tips are incomplete so I’d like to offer the more complete help that I could not find here:
When taming an equus, have your carrots ready in your last hotbar slot. Sneak up behind, stand still and feed the equus, immediately hop on!!
Keep an eye on the bottom right hand corner of your screen and feed the equus when prompted in your effect statuses(on pc it’s E to feed). You HAVE to stay on the equus, because everytime you hop off you’ll lose gaming effectiveness. So pay attention to not tap E until the feeding prompt comes up or you’ll hop off and mess up the tame. Just keep feeding while riding until it tames, and viola you have a perfect 100% Equus tame!! (Spamming is your enemy, this tame takes a little concentration. Happy riding friends!) I recommend using a pen so you don’t have to chase the horse across the plains.
Fricking Brontos and Rexs are easier to take then this
Apparently you press the same button to mount/dismount as you do to feed these things, so instead of feeding it, you get dismounted now. Big bummer because I found a Unicorn and I can't tame it... I'm going to check YouTube to see if anybody has tamed this thing yet...
These things are SUPER easy to tame and here’s how.
1. Get 10 rock carrots and put them in the last slot of your hotbar
2. Crouch and approach slowly only move closer while it’s looking away.
3. When next to it DONT MOVE and feed it the rock carrot
(May take several carrots on a higher level but normally only 1-2)
Also it will run away after you feed it if it takes more than one carrot. But don’t immediately chase it try to wait and see where it goes. Then repeat instructions 1-3. You can also use a ghillie suit if you have one. Go check out my other tips on the yuty and carno. Hope this helped! -a really cool person
It will run half the map away from you
Until it runs into a Rex
Here’s how to tame an Equus:
1-Bring at least 50-100 rockcarrots, in case the Equus needed a lot of rockcarrots to tame, or if the rockcarrots spoil.
2-Wear full ghillie armor, and go to an area where Equus are located.
3-Sneak up behind it, don’t get very close or touch it, feed it the rockcarrots.(In Ark Survival Evolved Mobile, don’t mount it, because when you’re mounting it and feed it, the taming goes up by 2%, but feeding it while not mounting it, the taming goes up by 20%).
4-Don’t unlock the Equus saddle engram, the game will reward you with one when you’ve finished the pursuit.
And now… you have an Equus, with it’s saddle! Hope this helped!

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.
From the creators of Ford Mustang bring you ford equus
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
Been through scorched earth on a equus with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. Cause in SE you can remember your name, cause there ain't no one for to give ya no pain. After 9 days I let the equus run free cause the desert had turned to sea. There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there was sand and hills and rings.
Step 1: ride it
Step 2: feed it rockcarrot when it try’s to buck you of
Step 3:DONT DISMOUNT DONT LET IT BUCK YOU OF
Step 4:DONT LET A DINOSAUR HIT IT
Step 5:when tamed take it to safety
