With the saddle they become a mobile narco farm. Without the saddle they are the best taming mount when either the player is a low level or a high level that doesn’t want to use narco arrow. Just try to get one at least level 100
Equus
The Equus is a horse-like creature that can be mounted with special saddles. While mounted, survivors can use whips and lassos.

What ARK players use the Equus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys are great for scorched earth players if you need to build adobe bases or get lots of cementing paste for metal structures. They are also good for taming because you can make narcs in their inventory and lassos.

These are great for taming rexs if you do a crap ton of breeding then he has high meele and health then just kick away i tamed a 120 rex with this method he can also knock broncos and anything smaller then that
babies give a lot of pelt and prime meat😳
Awesome for early game. Use it for hunting or taming by knocking out your prey
Just start the pursuit of this so you could find one of this
They reduce weight of Cactus Sap. Extremely helpful as it's hard to get loads back to another server with the transfering process as is. Oh and BTW use chainsaw
Maybe the best thing for knocking things with tamed me a tapejara 3 dire wolves an argy a pteranodon a raptor a rex an anky couple parasaurs a bronto and a lot more 11/10 for knocking put most points in stamina weight health movement and damage
Best thing to carry sand with! Turns sand from 50 to 10 pounds
OKAY RANDOK GLITCH I GUESS. Jumping with an equus and hitting water shortly after exponentially increases speed which will send you flying across the map at mach speeds i dont know if it works on any map other than valguero
We need an option in breeding that allows you to input the stat values of your breeders and gives you a few predictions on your possible babies stats/gender.

If you are going after a high level. Tame a low level first and use the lasso to drag the high level into a pen. If the eqqus is still aggroed onto you log out then back in.
it's easier to grab one with an argentavis and take it to a fence to make sure it doesn't run away.
These tames are a great mount for noobs and pros. I have one and he is a great berry gatherer. I’m (or was) taming an giant Dino that needed rockerrarrats. I rode on Marty and got plenty of carrots. *****
You can use the equus as a chem bench if you put the saddle on it.
Can be obtained at Lvl10 and can be used to easily knock out lower level dinos with the buck attack if the dino is Bolad.
Lasso craftable in the Equus saddle

Level Health and Stamina and a little bit of melee, up to 200 per kick and use to knock out literally everything. Can knock out whole heards of wolves and allos. Can even knock out a giga with high enough health. Remember to use a saddle for extra armor. Wont even need tranqs…

Alright , so here’s how you’re gonna get yourself an Equus that can knock out everything from a Dilo to a lvl 135 Rex. Step one is, obviously, get yourself an Equus. They are commonly found in wide, open, grassy fields. To tame one, you have to sneak up behind it and feed…
Alright , so here’s how you’re gonna get yourself an Equus that can knock out everything from a Dilo to a lvl 135 Rex. Step one is, obviously, get yourself an Equus. They are commonly found in wide, open, grassy fields. To tame one, you have to sneak up behind it and feed it some food. Carrots are the best, besides kibble, but berries work on lower levels, too. After than, you have a short amount of time to mount the horse. When it kicks it’s legs back and nays, you have to feed it. Rinse and repeat until you have a horse. Then, level up it’s damage to around 250, you don’t want to kill you potential tame. You’ll also want to level movement speed and health. And that’s about it. You should also be careful when knocking things out with this thing. If you kick something while it’s unconscious, it could die, and if it doesn’t, it’ll ruin the taming effectiveness. Be especially careful when knocking out creatures trapped by the net projectile, as it can be hard to tell when their knocked out. Good luck, and happy taming.
