In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, choosing the right horse can significantly impact your journey. You'll have the option to select between Pebbles and Herring, each offering unique advantages that can influence your gameplay experience.

How To Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You can reunite with Pebbles at the Semine estate before the wedding between Lord Semine and Agnes. She's waiting at the stables, but you'll need to purchase her to ride her during your quest with Jan Semine, known as "The Jaunt." Pebbles is not just any horse; she's Henry's trusted steed and has been his companion throughout his adventures, much like Mutt, who you can also find through side quests.

How To Receive Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

After completing the quest "For Whom the Bell Tolls," you have the option to take Herring as your new horse. If you haven't acquired Pebbles or another horse by this point, Herring is provided to you by Otto von Bergow. However, if you already have a horse and decide against Herring, you can sell him to nomad traders through Kabat for 300 Groschen.

Should You Choose Pebbles or Herring in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

At first glance, Herring might seem the superior choice due to his higher base stats. However, this initial advantage can be deceptive. Each horse unlocks a perk after being ridden for a specific distance, which boosts its stats. This means that horses with initially better stats don't necessarily remain the best throughout the game.

Pebbles emerges as the top choice due to her stat boosts. Although her stats aren't the highest even after the boost, she can be acquired at a lower cost than many other horses. You'll unlock her perk after riding just 35 kilometers, compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. Pebbles' boosted stats include:

217 stamina
353 capacity
53 speed
12 courage

Pebbles is not only reliable but also a great bargain, considering her early availability and quicker perk unlock. Moreover, the sentimental value she brings, having been with Henry before the game's events, adds to her appeal.

When deciding between Pebbles and Herring in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, opting for Pebbles is the wisest choice. With extensive traveling ahead, a dependable steed like Pebbles is invaluable to Henry.
