In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', horses (001 in the [[Hyrule Compendium]]) can be found throughout [[Hyrule]]. They can most frequently be found in wide open fields, such as in [[Hyrule Field (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Field]] or in the [[Faron Grasslands]], but can also be found on mountains, snowfields, and even coastlines. Some horses can be found wild, and these ones tend to stay on flat, wide plains. Others are found with [[Bokoblin]]s on horseback, these ones can generally be found in more varied landscapes. In order to ride horses, [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] must sneak up on one, mount it, and may have tame it at the cost of stamina. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', horses (001 in the [[Hyrule Compendium]]) can be found throughout [[Hyrule]].

In every herd of wild horses, there will be one horse that is the leader | In every herd of wild horses, there will be one horse that is the leader, and the rest are considered followers. In general, the leader will have stats superior to the followers, and it will always have a wild temperament. | ||
To distinguish the leader from the followers, pay attention to their behaviour. When the leader walks in any direction, all other horses will also follow that direction. For this reason, seldom is the leader not in the front of the herd. However, when a follower is the first to walk, no other horses will respond to its movement. This is corroborated when the leader begins to walk, and the follower who strayed from the herd is summoned to the original position. | To distinguish the leader from the followers, pay attention to their behaviour.

After registering the horse, its stats can be viewed while boarded at the stable. For each horse, its strength, speed, stamina, and temperament is documented. Also recorded is the horse's bond with Link. | After registering the horse, its stats can be viewed while boarded at the stable.
