Line Them Up

Tame both horses (feed them until hearts appear and they stop bucking). Bring them to the same spot so you can open each inventory in turn without losing track of which is which. Rename them with a name tag if you keep mixing them up.

Read and Record

Open the first horse's inventory and note its health, speed, and jump height. Close it, open the second, and note the same three. The mod shows all three in the inventory screen, so you never have to guess from feel.

Pick a Winner

Decide based on what you need:

  • Travel — prioritize speed, then jump height for terrain.
  • Combat or hauling — prioritize health so the horse survives hits.
  • All-rounder — avoid a horse that is low in every stat.

A horse that is high in one stat but poor in the others is a specialist; a horse that is decent across all three is usually the better keeper. Once you have chosen, saddle the winner and either release the other or pen it as a spare. Re-check after breeding foals, since offspring inherit a mix of the parents' stats and may beat both.
