Desert Horse.
Desert Horses are a new type of horse introduced in Warband. They are similar to a Steppe Horse with higher Charge, Speed, and Hit Points. They have 50 maneuver, which can be helpful sometimes, like when you're chasing cavalry on your horse and you need to make sharp turns. Physically, the Desert Horse has a narrower profile than the Steppe Horse, making it slightly easier to make evasive turns but reducing its impact zone when running down infantry.
It can be purchased in any of the desert towns initially owned by the Sarranid Sultanate or rarely in the towns owned by the Khergit Khanate.
When fighting Desert Bandits, who commonly ride them, this horse can often be seen as part of the loot. This allows players to acquire this relatively expensive horse for free, provided they can win.
