Taming and owning a horse in Dead Rails can completely change how you travel and survive across Roblox’s harsh frontier. Here’s how to find one, earn its trust, and make it your loyal companion on every trail.
How to Get a Horse in Dead Rails
In Dead Rails, you can get a horse by finding one in the wild and taming it through repeated interaction. Approach the animal slowly and use the prompt that appears to calm it while keeping your balance during the taming process. Once the horse accepts you, it becomes your companion, and you can rename it and equip it with a saddle. Tamed horses can be stored and called later from stables or specific save points, making them valuable for traveling quickly across the map.
In Dead Rails, horses usually spawn in various ways. However, the process of taming one remains the same. You simply require a Saddle that you carefully place on it, and you’re done. However, getting a saddle also needs some work, which we have explained further down below. With that said, the best ways to get a horse in Dead Rails are:
1. Tame a Wild Horse
The easiest way to find a horse in Dead Rails is through the wild herds that spawn in the game. While the horses are easy to spot, they are tricky to stop. Wild horses run at high speeds and can easily outrun the players.
To tame a wild horse in Dead Rails, try to corner it in an area where it cannot escape. The best places are your own train or a building’s wall. Once you have it locked down, simply place your saddle on the horse to ride it.
Moreover, there’s a 1% chance of a Unicorn in Dead Rails spawning among all the horses in the game. If you can spot one, sack it quickly since it can sell for a whopping 250 cash.
2. Steal from the Outlaws
This method to get a horse in Dead Rails is brutal but action-packed. Just like herds, wild bandits spawn near the railroad. These outlaws chase after your train with their own horses. So, to nick a horse from here, simply shoot the bandits and get on the animal to ride away.
This way, you can claim their horses and use the bodies of the outlaws to get the bounty rewards. Like the outlaws, you can also find the zombie soldiers riding the horses inside Fort Construction. However, raiding this fort won’t be easy, and you’ll need powerful weapons and gear for that.

3. Get One from the Barn
Finally, one last way to get these animals is from a barn. This structure is rare and a bit far away from the railroad. The barn can have wild and tamed horses, a saddle, and a cart.
So, if you’re only interested in getting a horse for yourself or your teammate, consider raiding this structure since it doesn’t serve any other purpose and consists of junk items.
Apart from the above spawning rules, there’s another way to get a Horse in Dead Rails. Selecting the Cowboy Class at the Tailor NPC before entering a game can get you a free horse and a saddle on your first spawn.
How to Get a Saddle in Dead Rails
To get a saddle in Dead R
As mentioned above, taming horses in Dead Rails requires a saddle. Thankfully, it’s easy enough to get one. A saddle can be bought from the General Store for 50 cash at various checkpoints, or you can get one free from the barn.
Once you find a horse without a saddle, follow the steps we mentioned at the beginning. So go ahead and corner a horse and put a saddle on it. And just like that, you’ve gotten a horse.
Furthermore, the cart we discussed earlier, found in the barn, can be attached to your horse’s back to serve as a secondary movable storage. You can weld this item in Dead Rails and place some extra loot on it as well. Alternatively, you can put a Maxim Turret on the cart to defend robustly when raiding risky areas like the Fort Construction or the Castle.
Where to find saddles in Dead Rails
Saddles in Dead Rails Roblox are essential for taming horses and can be obtained through looting or purchasing.
Looting Locations
Search barns on farms, which commonly spawn saddles-look for red barns near wheat fields in deserts. Abandoned buildings also drop them rarely during raids.
Buying from Stores
Purchase saddles for $35-$50 at General Stores in fortified towns or safe zones (like outposts), though stock isn’t guaranteed-check multiple if needed. Cowboy class spawns one nearby.
How to tame a horse with a saddle in Dead Rails
Taming a horse with a saddle in Dead Rails requires cornering a wild horse first, then applying the saddle directly.
Locating Horses
Wild horses spawn in deserts, near tracks, or fields, often in herds. Chase one into a corner using a building, rock, or your train to trap it and prevent escape.
Applying the Saddle
Equip the saddle from your inventory or sack, approach the trapped horse, and interact (drag or right-click) to saddle it automatically. Mount immediately to ride, and weld it to your train for safekeeping.
Tips for Success
Horses flee easily, so use speed boosts like Vampire class if available. Saddled horses take damage quickly in combat or storms-store in sack when idle.
