Location and Uses
Breath of the Wild
Horse Gear consists of a Bridle and a Saddle, and can provide various effects.
With the exception of the Stable Bridle and Stable Saddle and certain sets, all pieces of Horse Gear are Key Items and can be found under this screen in the Inventory.
Link can equip Horse Gear to a Horse at a Stable by bringing it to the character feeding Horses by the side of the Stable and talking with them.[2][3] Link must have a maximum bond with his Horse for the character to change the Horse's equipment.[4] If Link does not have a sufficient bond with his Horse, the worker will refuse.[5] Epona and the Giant Horse are the only Horses to which Horse Gear cannot be equipped.[6][7] Not all Stables have a character who can change equipment; Horse Gear can be changed at the following Stables:
| Stable | |

| Worker | |

Horse Gear can be gained through many different means. Some Horse Gear are rewarded as a prize for winning a Mini-Game, such as the Knight's Gear the Horseback Archery Mini-Game at the Mounted Archery Camp. Monster Horse Gear can be bought from Kilton, while the Ancient Horse Gear are found through the "EX Ancient Horse Rumors" Side Quest, which is exclusive to The Champions' Ballad Downloadable Content Pack.
With the exception of the Ancient Bridle and Ancient Saddle, all Horse Gear is purely cosmetic and does not provide any effects.

If you're interested, may I help you change your horse's gear or mane?

So you'd like me to change the gear or mane on this little one again, correct?
— Canni (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Wow! This one's eyes are positively sparkling with affection! I can tell this little one is just head over heels for you. That settles it! I'll gladly help you out with some gear!

Hmm... Oh? Your horse doesn't seem to be tamed. At all. Did you just catch it, by any chance? Please spend some time showing this sweetie you care, and then come back.

Hello there! That's a mighty find horse you have. If you like, I can change out her gear or maybe... Oh? Actually, this horse is different from any I've ever seen before. My, she's so lovely and graceful... I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure this little lady would absolutely hate it if you changed her mane or gear. I'm so sorry about that.

Hello there! That's a mighty find horse you have. If you like, I can change out its gear or maybe... Oh? My goodness, that's no pony, is it? It's so big! I'm sorry, but I don't think I have any gear that'd fit such a large horse, and I bet it wouldn't like its mane handled... I'm so sorry about that.
