BDO Horse Catalog with Images Showing Tier & Coat

SPECIAL THANKS!! 🙂

Thanks so much to Violet Astray, who with the assistance of other players, made these screenshots originally available on violetastray.com (shutting down soon)

She has offered to have these helpful images published here.

See Violet’s original guide copied below.

Thanks!!! 🙂

UPDATE: According to patch notes, “ since Tier 1 to 5 Wild Horse appearances are no longer available, we’ve made these types now available as Tier 8 horses so Adventurers may still have access to them.”

• Horse tier changes occured on Sept 21, 2022. For example, some horse coats from lower tiers were added to the coats available for tier 8 horses. So the tier info below isn’t correct, however I’ll leave this guide up in order for you to see the many different beautiful horse coats available in BDO. Read the changes in their Patch Notes. Also, the horse coat codes in the images are from the original code system created by the horse community. Each horse coat was given a unique coat code by the horse community. These were helpful in determining available horse skills as the horse levels.

Tier 10 Mythical Dream Horse

Archive of Violet’s Guide

Copied text from violetastray.com:

Ever notice that some of the horse icons looks nothing like the horse itself? Ever see a horse in the city and wonder which one it might be? To make it easier to identify horses, I’ve combined the icons you see in stables and in online guides with BDO horse screenshots in this catalog.

You see…I have a bit of a problem. I’m a completionist and I love to catalog things. My addiction to Black Desert horse taming has now expanded into trying to get every single color of horse available. I’ve been mostly doing this through breeding, but I have purchased the odd horse now and again because it has colors that might lead to something spectacular later.

I thought it would be easiest to catalog my horses according to this chart, since everyone in my guild is using it and it gives a simple way to discuss the horses we’re going for.

So, I hope this helps — and I will continue to add horses as I get them. Special huge thanks to Sofianna for letting me screencap her MANY amazing horses, and to Dagon, Claire, Swamp, and Nicori for filling in the gaps!
