You can get a free horse in Kingdom Come: Deliverance by completing the quest “The Prey” in Rattay, which rewards you with your own horse, or by receiving one through specific quests or story progression, such as getting Pebbles without ‘stealing’ it, but you cannot make it “your horse” in the same way as a purchased one unless you are horseless when given it. Completing certain quests, like “The Prey“, is a direct way to obtain a free horse, allowing you to progress through the game with a mount of your own.
