Horses serve one purpose in Manor Lords, and it’s not working the fields. Here’s everything you need to know about horses in Manor Lords, including what they do, how to get them, and how to put them to work.

Horses in Manor Lords are a type of livestock that aids in trade. When your traders have horses, they travel faster from your trading posts to the Tadepoints, which are outside the region's borders. If you plan on growing your regions through foreign trade, it's a good idea to invest in a few horses and the Trade Logistics Development Branch to reduce the regional wealth spent on trade routes.

The easiest way to get horses in Manor Lords is to use the Hitching Post (or Stables if it has been upgraded) or a regular Trading Post. Click on the building and select Order a New Horse. A horse costs 30 Regional Wealth and after a short while a trader will bring the horse to your city. After buying livestock this way, the trader will go on cooldown for 30 days.

If you want to buy more horses faster, a better option is to use the Livestock Trading Post. Click on the building and go to the Trade tab. Here you can select the animal (in this case Horses) and change the Trade Rule from No Trade to Import. Select the desired surplus and wait for traders to bring Horses to the city. The import price of Horses in the Livestock Trading Post is also 30 Regional Wealth, so I recommend using it only if you need multiple Horses to save yourself the trouble of managing Trade Rules.
