Calm down horse

[Nigolasy]

So in the update details it says that you should calm your horse down after bucking/rearing to increase tameness.
I don't have a round pen yet and while riding, I didn't see a prompt to calm the horse down. Any keybind I'm missing?

[Nigolasy]

Ok, I figured it out.

If anyone else comes accross this:
When you want to increase tameness by riding, you don't need to calm down the horse, your player does it for you. Just keep trying to accelerate. I got 59% tameness on my first day of speed/flexibility training (starting by 0% tameness) just by getting into canter and trying to get into a galopp permanently. Once in galopp, immediadly slow down into canter and repeat.

I have not seen my horses in an uncalm state. How do they get that way?

You need to capture a wild horse or try to ride a horse you bred but haven't trained while being a foal.

Their tameness stat will be 0% then

Ah.. I train them in the round pen so they are good by then, I guess. Thank you!

Yes, after I unlocked the round pen, it took like half a training session to bring tameness to 100%.

But you can capture wild horses before unlocking the round pen, so I ended up with a bucking horse and was wondering, what increases tameness until I unlock it!

Oh, okay! Thank you!

If you watch, your rider leans forward and pats the horse when it bucks. AFAIK there is no cue to calm down unless you're in the round pen.

Yes, I figured it out in my own first response.
