Getting started

Advancement How to earn it
Hold Your Horses Tame a horse until it decides you’re worth carrying.
Stable Reading Get the Stable Handbook. Homework. But for horses.
Home Is Where the Hay Is Set a horse’s home. Every horse deserves a mailing address.

Gearing up

Advancement How to earn it
All Tacked Up Craft the Upgraded Saddle. Your horse now has more storage than your first base.
Pocket Dimension, Four Legs Fit an Ender Chest to a horse. Your horse now runs on wormholes.
Pegasus, Sort Of Survive a 30-block drop with a stabilizer deployed. Who says horses can’t fly?

Bonding and stats

Advancement How to earn it
Ride or Die Reach 100 bond. It would take an arrow for you. Probably.
Built Different Ride at 25 blocks/second. No need for an elytra now, right? Right??
Stable Genius Own ten horses at once. Somewhere between a hobby and a problem.

Breeding and collecting

Advancement How to earn it
Foal Play Breed two horses. Congratulations. It’s a horse.
Best of Both Worlds Produce a mixed-breed foal from two different breeds.
Gotta Tame ‘Em All Own all fifteen breeds. A qualified Stable Master at last.

Travel

Advancement How to earn it
Hell on Hooves Take a horse to the Nether. The horse did not agree to this.

Notes on the harder ones

Built Different (25 blocks/second)

This needs breeding and bonding. The mod’s speed ceiling is 25.5 blk/s, so you need a horse with a strong base speed pushed the rest of the way by a full +75% bond bonus.

Route: breed a fast line following the breeding loop until stats stop improving, then bond the best foal to 100. Check progress on the Horse Info screen, which displays speed in blk/s directly.

Gotta Tame ‘Em All (fifteen breeds)

The long one. Work from the biome lookup table rather than wandering. A few breeds are effectively single-biome finds and worth targeting deliberately:

Breed Easiest biome
Andalusian Cherry Grove
Icelandic Ice Spikes
Arabian Desert or Eroded Badlands
Shire Old Growth Birch Forest
Haflinger Stony Peaks

Hold an Upgraded Saddle while scanning so you can read breeds off the overlay without taming everything you meet.

Pegasus, Sort Of (30-block drop)

Fit a Horse Stabilizer and ride off something tall enough. Remember the stabilizer shares its slot with the cart, so unhitch any cart first. A mountain edge or a deep ravine does the job.
