Epona in Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Epona is a horse you buy, not a quest reward. Zora sells her at the Neuhof stables. The wiki.gg horse page says 1,280 groschen. VG247 says 1,170. Both stay on the page. Speed 37, capacity 212, courage 5, stamina 430.

I will not average 1,280 and 1,170 into a third price. If you are standing at the trader, his number wins; the articles were written years apart and may describe different patches. Speed, capacity, courage, and stamina match on both the wiki and VG247, so those four numbers are the ones I trust more than the coin figure. Courage 5 is among the lowest in the game. The Fandom horse page calls her one of the most skittish. High stamina and a middling 37 speed make her a travel horse, not a charger.

The flute line

Buyers on Reddit and a February 2018 video both describe Zora asking whether Henry can play a pipe, because this horse only obeys someone who can. I am paraphrasing. Neither source is a subtitle dump, so this is not a verbatim quote. The joke points at Link’s ocarina. Kingdom Come has no official Zelda crossover, just the name and that line. Every horse in the game, including ones the dialogue calls mares, uses a stallion mesh with a visible sheath. The wiki treats that as reused models, not as a lore claim that Epona is male.

A Nexus Mods entry, number 1317, is a community balance pass for horses. I am linking the mod page only as a pointer. I did not copy its changed numbers onto this card, because those numbers were not in the packet I checked.

Courage is 5, so she spooks easily. Stamina is 430, which suits long rides more than charges.
