Before the roar of engines took over Sicily, horses were the lifeblood of travel in Mafia: The Old Country. These faithful companions serve as your earliest mode of transportation, carrying you across villages, farms, and rugged countryside. Each horse has a spur rating (up to 4 spurs) that allows for temporary speed bursts, but base performance is the same across all horses.

FAQs – Horses in Mafia: The Old Country
What is the fastest horse in Mafia: The Old Country?
Any 4-spur horse (e.g., Brigante) is the ‘fastest’ due to more burst options, but base speed is identical for all.
Can you customize horses?
Yes, you can purchase cosmetic decorations like saddles at stables using Dinari, but stats remain fixed.
Do horses become useless once cars are unlocked?
Not at all. While cars eventually replace horses for speed and utility, horses remain useful in the early game and in areas where vehicles can’t reach, such as narrow alleyways or countryside trails.
Are any horses missable?
No horses are permanently missable. Even if you progress through the story quickly, you can return to stables later to purchase or unlock them.
Which horse is best for beginners?
2-spur horses like Nivula or Cicciu are best for beginners, offering balanced control without overwhelming burst management.
