How to Get and Equip Horse Armor in Oblivion Remastered – All Armor Types Explained
Protect your mount in Oblivion Remastered by outfitting it with horse armor. Here’s how to equip armor, unlock deluxe edition styles, and keep your horse alive on your journey.
If you’re not the type to rely on fast travel in Oblivion Remastered, a trusty horse is essential. But as you roam the wilds of Cyrodiil, your mount isn’t just for transportation—it can get caught in fights and take damage just like you. That’s where horse armor comes in.
Let’s go over how to equip armor on your horse, what options are available depending on your game edition, and how to unlock the exclusive deluxe styles.
🐎 How to Equip Horse Armor in Oblivion Remastered
Once you’ve exited the tutorial sewers and entered the open world, you’ll be given a free armored horse as a welcome gift.
But if you’ve bought a new horse or want to upgrade its look and defense, here’s what to do:
- Travel to Chestnut Handy Stables – Located just west of the Imperial City.
- Speak to Snak gra-Bura – She’s the stablemaster there.
- Bring your horse to the stable, then talk to her inside.
- Ask her to outfit your mount with armor.
💰 Horse Armor Options & Cost
| Game Edition | Horse Armor Style | Cost |
| Standard | Steel Horse Armor | 500 Gold (first time is free) |
| Standard | Elven Horse Armor | 500 Gold |
| Deluxe Edition | Order Horse Armor | Unlocked via quest |
| Deluxe Edition | Cataclysm Horse Armor | Unlocked via quest |
Steel and Elven armor increase your horse’s HP, making them more durable during ambushes or fights on the road. This is key, since your horse will fight back if you’re attacked.
✨ Deluxe Edition Horse Armor – How to Unlock
If you own the Deluxe Edition of Oblivion Remastered, you get access to two stunning horse armor sets: Order and Cataclysm. These are purely cosmetic and don’t offer stat bonuses, but they definitely make your mount stand out.
To unlock them, complete these exclusive quests:
- Order Horse Armor: Complete A Wound In Time & Saving Time Itself
- Cataclysm Horse Armor: Complete Burning Trail
Once you’ve finished the quests, you can equip these styles just like the standard armors by revisiting Chestnut Handy Stables.
