Equus — Detailed Guide
The Equus is ARK's horse. It is fast, carries a fair load, and its saddle works as a mortar and pestle. The rider can also lasso creatures and drag them along.
Where to find it
It runs in open plains on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Scorched Earth and Genesis Part 1 in both games, on Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur and Lost Island in ASE.
Taming
A passive tame done from its back: put its food in the last hotbar slot, walk up and jump on, then feed it each time it asks while it runs freely. Its saddle unlocks at level 20. See the taming calculator.
Breeding
- Birth: a live birth, about 7 hours 56 minutes of gestation.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.
Uses
Travel, crafting powders and pastes on the move, and pulling creatures with the lasso.
Tips

Unicorn, tamed the same way.
