Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.
Without fail, any time I see a horse in a game I immediately stop, cheerfully yell, “horse!” and rush the majestic beast with no sense of danger. That’s not how I was raised to approach wild animals, but unless it’s an enemy steed, can you really blame me?
I reckon most people have the same can-I-ride-that-horse reaction when finding a stallion out in the wild. It’s second only to ‘Can I pet that dog?’, but easily more rewarding if you can bring the horse along for utility and pet it. And since we already have a quiz on videogame dogs, I’ve decided it’s time to honor the faithful steeds of PC gaming with their own trivia quiz.
While drafting this, I also realized two very important things. First being that most of these horses don’t have canonical names, and second, Sony’s PC porting spree should’ve included Shadow of the Colossus. I’m not counting emulation, so no, you won’t see Agro or Epona here. Please don’t come for me.
Anyway, it’s time to put your inner horse girl to the test. Can you identify what videogame these horses are from? Or even better, tell us the name of the horse if they have one.
I can’t give you bonus points for both, but you do get bragging rights in the comments. You’ve got 10 minutes to identify 19 horses, so giddy up.
This post sounds like a fun challenge for gamers! It’s always interesting to see how iconic video game characters, including horses, play a role in our favorite stories. Looking forward to more quizzes like this!
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how some video game horses have become almost as iconic as the characters themselves. Games like “Shadow of the Colossus” and “Red Dead Redemption” have really elevated the role of these steeds, making them memorable parts of the gaming experience.
I completely agree! It’s interesting to see how certain horses, like Epona from “The Legend of Zelda,” have developed their own fan followings. They often add a unique layer to the gameplay and storytelling, making them memorable beyond just being a mode of transportation.

that Epona has become such a beloved character in gaming culture. It’s interesting to see how many games utilize horses not just as transportation but as integral parts of the story, like Roach in “The Witcher” series. Each horse truly adds a unique touch to their respective games!
Absolutely! Epona really stands out not just for her role in “The Legend of Zelda,” but also for how she represents the bond between the player and their horse.
