In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, choosing between Pebbles and Herring as your trusty steed is a pivotal decision for Henry. Let's dive into the details to help you make the best choice for your journey.

How to Find Pebbles in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You'll reunite with Pebbles when you visit the Semine estate before the wedding between Lord Semine and Agnes. She's waiting at the stables, but you'll need to purchase her if you want to ride her during your quest with Jan Semine before the wedding, known as "The Jaunt." Pebbles isn't just any horse; she's Henry's trusted companion, akin to Mutt, who you can also find through side quests. Her familiarity and bond with Henry add a layer of sentimental value that's hard to overlook.

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 becomes your mount, courtesy of Otto von Bergow. If you already have a horse and decide against Herring, you can sell him to nomad traders through Kabat for 300 Groschen. Herring's stats might initially seem more appealing, but there's more to consider before making your choice.

At first glance, Herring might seem like the superior choice due to his higher base stats. However, the game's mechanics add a twist: each horse unlocks a perk after being ridden a certain distance, boosting their stats. This means horses with initially better stats don't necessarily remain the best throughout the game.

Pebbles, despite not having the highest stats even after her boost, becomes the best horse you can get. You can acquire her for a lower price compared to many other horses, and her perk is unlocked after just 35 kilometers of riding, much faster than Herring's 50 kilometers. Pebbles' boosted stats are impressive at 217 stamina, 353 capacity, 53 speed, and 12 courage. Her reliability, decent stats, and the fact that you can unlock her perk quickly make her a great choice. Plus, the sentimental value of having her by Henry's side from before the game's events adds a special touch.

When deciding between Pebbles and Herring in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Pebbles is the clear winner. With extensive travel ahead, you need a steed you can trust, and Pebbles fits the bill perfectly.
