#### **Usage**

<p class="callout info">Lite does not require tack to be equipped in any specific order, but it can only be equipped on a **tamed** horse.</p>

Saddles are required **alongside a bridle** to control a horse. Saddles can be equipped several ways:

- Place a saddle in the [horse inventory](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-overview#bkmrk-horse-inventory) saddle slot (#2).
- `Right Click` a **tamed** horse with a saddle in hand.
- `Shift` + `Right Click` with a saddle in hand to **hot swap** saddles.

##### Accessories

Saddles include a girth and breast collar. Adventure saddles include an armor element (cosmetic) over the back.

##### Adventure Tack

Bite, kick and stomp are special [combat moves](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/riding#bkmrk-combat-commands) only available to high [affinity](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/skills#bkmrk-affinity) horses using **Adventure** **tack**.
