Horses are unique mounts in Dynasty Warriors: Origins that allow you to fight while riding them and moving through the battlefield. While riding on a horse, you’ll have a new set of actions that you can perform to help you complete your missions and cover ground faster. There are a total of 9 horses in the game, which are divided into two types, those being Regular and Special. Each horse comes with a unique set of stats and abilities that you can get by leveling them up.
