Pink-Maned Horse
About Pink-Maned Horse
A tan or light brown horse with a remarkable pink or light salmon-colored mane — one of the rarest color variants among common wild horses in Hyrule. The pink mane has no in-game lore explanation; it simply exists as an unusual natural variant that appears very occasionally in normal wild herds. Stats are typically average across all categories, making this firmly a collector and style mount rather than a performance option. Finding a pink-maned horse is a minor event worthy of pausing your adventure — they are uncommon enough that many players complete the game without seeing one.
Where to Find Pink-Maned Horse
Detailed Location
Pink-maned horses are rare spawns within normal wild herds with no guaranteed or consistent spawn point. They can theoretically appear in any herd across Hyrule Field, Akkala, East Necluda, or Faron. Most sightings are reported in the broader Hyrule Field (the area between Lookout Landing and Riverside Stable), the Akkala Highlands, and the East Necluda plains near Kakariko. No single "farming location" exists — the strategy is to check many herds across a play session and save the game immediately if you spot one. Some players report seeing them near Riverside Stable specifically.
How to Tame Pink-Maned Horse

3
Mount and press L a few times to soothe. Done in seconds.
