The game contains a fewspecial horsesthat may seem like they can’t be ridden, but they actually can. This guide will show playerswhere to find a Skeletal Horse inTotK.

The Skeletal Horses are not very difficult to get, but there are a few requirements to get one. The horses only appear at night, so players mustsit by a fireand pass the time for it to be night.
Then, players will have to travel toSanidin Park Ruins. The ruins can be reached bytaking the road at Outskirt Stable North,and the road will go through the ruins. Once at the ruins, players will have to look around for a Skeletal Horse, but there should be a few around, and it should not be too hard unless it has become early morning.
There is no specific trick onhow to tamea Skeletal Horse – just simply sneak up behind one while crouched and press theA buttonto mount it when the prompt shows up. Be sure to soothe it while riding for an easier trip. Finally, ride the Skeletal Horse back to Toffa for a reward of50 Rupeesand one Pony Point.
