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.

For anyone on the new mobile version, just tame them from the ground rather than mount up, it gives more taming progress than mounted and well they wont buck you off, just walk arouns them for a bit, I just tamed a lvl 50 woth savoroot in like 10 mins without upping the normal taming speed. Good luck! - Artemis

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

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!

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.

When I was trying to find and tame my first equus it was pretty rare and always spawn near the raptors,therizeno,spinos,rexes,allos and other deadly Predators. But after I've tamed one I saw 3 equus spawning near Peaceful rivers many times lol

Tip for begginers-equus spawn mostly near rivers or forests. Before taming, you should watch the area carefully or else maybe when you have almost tamed an equus a carnivore may come out of nowhere and ruin your taming, Because most of the times I saw them spawning near rivers spinos there. But if you have Argy then just pick up equus and put it into a taming pen and there you go.

And also use kibble or carrots to tame it. Don't use berries otherwise it will take whole day to tame an equus.
