In order to ride horses, [[Link]] must sneak up on one and then mount and tame it.


To keep a horse, Link must register the horse at a [[Stable]]. Only five (5) horses may be registered at time; to register a new horse once the limit has been reached, one must be let go. After a horse has been registered, it can be named and is equipped with a saddle and bridle. A registered horse's location is marked on the world map and it can be whistled for as long as it is within hearing distance.

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. The higher the bond, the more obedient the horse is to Link. A horse with a high bond will travel along roads without needing direction from Link. To bond with a horse, Link can feed the horse fruits (carrots are a favorite) and should also soothe the horse during a ride when it is particularly obedient.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|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 addition to the standard wild horses, a few special horses can be found in Hyrule: the [[Giant Horse]], the [[White Horse]], the [[Lord of the Mountain]], and the [[Stalhorse]]. The giant and white horses can be registered while the other two cannot.
 
[[Epona]] cannot be found within Breath of the Wild, but may be obtained when the player scans certain amiibo. The Super Smash Bros. Link and the Twilight Princess Link amiibo will drop Epona on the first scan only. Other amiibo, such as the Super Smash Bros. Zelda amiibo, may drop Epona at random. She can only be received once per amiibo and must be registered at a stable in order for Link to keep her. However, Epona can be received multiple times from different amiibo, and each Epona received may be registered making it possible to have more than one Epona in ''Breath of the Wild''. Epona has her own saddle and bridle which cannot be changed, and her bond with Link is already maxed out.
