Horses
Horses will be a staple method of faster transport, additional storage, and buffs while adventuring. You will gain your first horse through a main story quest but will also be able to catch and breed horses through additional free roam and camp activity.

Each Tier of horse will have slightly better statistics. The following table will show what is gained from acquiring or breeding a higher tier horse.

Getting your first Horse
As you progress through the main story, you will get to a point where it introduces the tutorial for catching a horse and has you catch your first horse.

This is noted as being only offered once per family.

Getting additional Horses
After you have caught your first horse and understand the basic mechanics of catching a horse, you can purchase a a rope and sugar from the Animal vendor. You will need a single rope lure to initiate the capture of a horse and upto 5 sugar to increase the odds of successfully catching by 10% each sugar.

A note for capturing additional horses is that you must have room in your stables for each additional horse you capture. Verify that you have the space available prior to attempting to capture so you don't waste resources.

Horse capture mini game
To successfully tame the horse and complete the capture, you have to break the wild horse in a mini game. It will buck around and you will need to stay on the horse. This mini game will use the movement stick for you to stay within the green area for a duration of a few seconds through three cycles. If you complete all three cycles ending in the green area then you have successfully broken the horse.
