BDO Horse locations are special areas where wild horses spawn. Ususally each spawn location has more than one horse that spawns in the area.
After a horse is tamed or killed, the respawn time is 30 min to 60 min.
If you see a horse you don’t want, you can tame it and sell it to the Stable Keeper. Killing wild horse to reset the spawn will give you negative Karma.
If you are capturing horses only to gain Training levels, then you are better off using a horse location that isn’t popular.
Popular horse locations may be empty of horses.
BDO Horse Locations (Most Popular)
The 3 most popular horse locations are located in Drieghan. This is due to the fact that Tier 7 horses have a higher chance to spawn there.
A tier 6 gives the same amount of Training EXP as a tier 7, but tier 7 horses are worth more silver and are easier to breed into Tier 8 horses.
Drieghan Disadvantages:
- closest Stable Keeper is located in Duvencrune for all horse locations
- most popular and more likely to be empty of horses
- location may not be convenient for the character you use to tame wild horses

Horse Locations Outside Drieghan
Two other taming rotations are recommended to new trainers, because they have many spawn points near a Stable Keeper. But there are other good horse locations to choose from.
Port Epheria Horse Location
The Port Epheria has 6 spawn points, which are close to the <Stable Keeper>. (Western Calpheon territory)
Glish Horse Location
The other recommended horse location has 9 spawn points SE of Glish, near Serendia Shrine. Nearby Stable Keepers are located at Southern Guard Camp and Glish. (Southern Serendia territory)
Easiest Horse Locations
I can’t make a horse location guide without including the Heidel spawn points! These have to be the easiest locations and are victim to Alt Tamers, so may be empty when you check.
Horse Locations with High Density
There are many horse locations all around Trent. (SW Calpheon territory) Some are a bit far from the Stable Keeper in Trent though!
Kusha (Northern Mediah) is another horse location that has many spawn points. Nearest Stable Keeper is in Kusha, which might be too far if you’re in a rush.

You’re welcome 🙂
Hi.. Personally I don’t like killing a horse, point blank, plus it goes against your karma. It is just as easy, and some profitable to tame that horse and sell it outright at the stable. It may only be 10M, but.. better for your money, and karma. You always run the chance of getting an imperial sale! And the horse respawns just as fast! As for breeding thank you, lol, I’m always breeding T8’s and not always pleased with the colt. I will start on T7’s..
Grumpy, I follow you alot. Today I actually read, lol, your intro paragraphs. I usually agree with all you recommend, but have to disagree with something here. I have occasionally accidently killed a horse, when I was learning to capture a horse. Now, years later… I do not see the need to kill a horse to force respawn. Capture it, most are low level T6. Not all I have gotten several Imperial sales from horse I wasn’t looking to keep. The thing is, capture will respawn as quickly as killing the horse, you make a few dollars, and do not… Read more »
Good catch! I updated the guide.
