Horses are a game mechanic newly added in Breath of the Wild.  Link can tame any horse found in the game.  Bringing the horse to a stable will allow you to claim the horse, naming them and allowing you to fit them with a saddle.

Taming
'''Horses''' are recurring animals in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].
Horses can be tamed by riding them until they get used to you or feeding them a certain amount of food.


Once they have a saddle, they will follow main roads without any player direction.

From the Horse entry in the Hyrule Compendium
Main article: Horse (Breath of the Wild)

"These can most often be found on plains. Their usefulness as transportation has made them valuable since ancient times. That said, wild horses do tend to get spooked and run off when approached, so if you're looking to snag one, it's best to sneak up on it."

— Hyrule Compendium Entry

In Breath of the Wild, horses (001 in the Hyrule Compendium) can be found throughout Hyrule, particularly in fields such as Hyrule Field or the Faron Grasslands. In order to ride horses, Link must sneak up on one and then mount and tame it at the cost of stamina.
