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

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

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

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.

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

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!!!!!!!

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!

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

If you are a mobile player and you want to ride tame I recommend you bring four times the amount of rockarrots that is shown. When ride taming always passive feed first then jump and ride it. The tame time was also drastically lower than what was shown if you are ride taming, it took a little less than half of the shown tame time. The equus will also eat more often if you are ride taming and with rockarrots it stays at 100% taming effectiveness. Keep in mind the spoil time for rockarrots and bring extra rockarrots incase some spoil.

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.

How to tame a equus (easy way):

Make a trap were ever you want it should be a 2×2 trap so it would not move grab it by using argy or bola it and build the trap surrounding it and now just feed it dont get on it feed it like pacife tame it will increas faster and if you are on mobile just do tame equus porsuit and you get high rank better than wasting engram point

You can pick this creature up with a wyvern and quetzal I tried it

Don’t breed these. They take forever, your better off just getting carrot seeds and taming another one.

Xbox one: as soon as you mount you need to feed again straight away otherwise you're dumped.

i dont know how but i went here to see how many carrots i need to tame a lvl 45, it said i needed only 14 so i grabbed like 25 carrots and went to tame it

14 carrots hardly made it halfway, idk if it was bc the horse was mate boosted or if this app is just really innacurate, bc before i went to tame it already made sure i put in the level right and used the right multiplier wtf

found the horse in a super safe area near base too but now it already ran off to raptor infested territory bruh

You better tame this cause you can use it to tame gigas and rexs

Rockarrots are magic on these. I seriously fed it and didn’t even need to get on.

raising its baby is much easier

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...

Taming a equus is a passive tame not a knock out. You'll need to make a trap so it won't run off and get killed. You'll need as much berries as the DeX says. And have a ghillie suit to not spook it.But in case you accidently mount off and lose some taming effect have some more berries with you just in case. This is how I did it.
