Try taking it off road? I don't think the soldiers chasing you wll leave the beaten path.

Assuming you're talking about escaping Skalitz, I'd recommend good stamina management, don't try sprint the entire way. When your horse starts breathing too heavily, release shift for 3 seconds then repeat.

[Bassdeff]

and don't just run in a srtaight line. A slight zig zag motion will prevent you from getting hit by arrows.

Took me 6 hours on hardcore to get past the the prologue.

Shift + Shift + W

Otherwise horsie too slow.
Henry failed and died around 20 times during my sequence.
That horse riding thing was the most realistic thing I'v encountered in my over 100h+ in the game.

Except for the horse not being able to get over a bush that's 2 feet tall--lol

My problem with this part of the game was that it is very difficult to steer the horse while pressing W + shift. And I kept missing the bridge and going into the stream and getting stuck in bushes. Also, hitting every little thing on the road, brings you out of sprint mode. I was able to make it past it but was needlessly tedious.

My advice: Pinky on shift, middle finger on W, use ring and index figure to steer. Slow down briefly before crossing the bridge. If you notice your stamina recovering, it means you aren't sprinting, so double tap and hold shift. Zig-zag a bit to avoid stray arrows. Rest for a few secs to regenerate stamina and immediately go back to sprinting.

Lol, no, I didn't mean it like that.

Henry dying and dying and dying because he couldn't handle the stolen Cuman horse was my most realistic experience I had in this game so far.

Don,t follow the road, take shortcuts and jump to the other side of the small stream parallel to the road, I don't even see them following me or even hitting me with an arrow because they were too far behind.

[ninzzzZz]

I did it in first try didn't see any problems? The horse wasn't slow at all.

[Silky Rough]

Small tip for fast horse work.

Left hand does W + SHIFT, use your *right hand* on the arrow keys to steer. EZPZ.

[Sabertooth]

Double tap the Shift key while holding down W .It Will make you gallop and go faster

[Judge Lazar]

Jump over the little stream as soon as you can. The farther from that first little bridge the better. It's a rough part for sure. Just make as much distance as you can with the horse sprint before it gets tired. When it does get tired just wait a second or two and double tap the sprint again it will only go a short distance but you get more srpint time than than those two seconds of rest .
