Horse equipment can be acquired throughout The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its expansions, Hearts of Stone expansion and Blood and Wine expansion. The equipment can be broken down into four categories:

  • Blinders: increase Roach's fear level limit so they won't panic as easily
  • Saddle: increase Roach's stamina so Geralt can gallop further before having to rest
  • Saddlebags: increase Geralt's inventory weight limit so he can carry more
  • Trophies: provide certain effects when strapped to Roach's saddle

The lists below include all items from DLCs (which are free) and both expansions. Expansion items have been marked.

Trophies[]

Main article: The Witcher 3 trophies

Trophies are special monster parts that can be placed in the trophy slot, and thus strapped to Roach's saddle. They provide bonuses such as additional XP for killing certain enemies, or a chance of finding extra gold or herbs.

Tips[]

Using this method it is possible to quickly obtain high tier horse equipment for Roach. Which in fact will be the best in the base game excluding a few that are obtained in Blood and Wine expansion.

To start you need access to Skellige, see Destination: Skellige for tips on how to reach it early in the game.

Go to Larvik and use the local notice board to obtain the quest The Heroes' Pursuits: For the Goddess' Glory!, then talk to Svana to join the competition which will give 3 other quests each being a race. Now do them in the following order:

Start with The Heroes' Pursuits: Fyresdal, after you win you will obtain the Cavalry saddle, which will make the other races more easy.

Now do The Heroes' Pursuits: Fayrlund which will award you the Zerrikanian saddlebags and The Heroes' Pursuits: Kaer Trolde which will award you Zerrikanian blinders.

After that do the final race from The Heroes' Pursuits: For the Goddess' Glory! which will award you the Zerrikanian saddle.

With Hearts of Stone expansion[]

If you have Hearts of Stone then instead do Races: Swift as the Western Winds (although suggested level is 32 the quest can be done at any level as it's only a race) if you win you will obtain the Ofieri stock saddle which is even better than the Zerrikanian saddle. Then do The Heroes' Pursuits: Fayrlund for the saddlebags and The Heroes' Pursuits: Kaer Trolde for the blinders.
