Horses are a great way for you to move around the battlefields in Dynasty Warriors: Origins while also raining down a world of pain on any of the massive hordes of enemies that are coming your way. Having said that, there are a ton of options that a player can choose from when it comes to horses. Every horse in the game is different, has different stats, and offers a different set of abilities, so it is important to choose the right horse for you before starting your mission. With that in mind, there are definitely some horses that excel when compared to others, and in this guide, we’ll show you the best three horses you can use in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

The best horse you can use in Dynasty Warriors: Origins is the [Red Hare]. The [Red Hare] is a famous horse that has even left a mark in history, due to being the horse of the legendary general Lü Bu. In the game, the Red Hare is one of the horses with the highest stats and also the horse with the highest mounted charge damage. This makes it a good choice for mowing through groups of enemies on the battlefield. That being said, while the Red Hare is an amazing choice, getting it is a bit hard, and you can only obtain it in the post-game.
