Baddek is a {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}} who rides a {{Term|BotW|Horse}}, carrying a {{Term|BotW|Wooden Shield|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Traveler's Sword|link}}. He travels along the road from [[Serenne Stable]] all the way to [[Tabantha Bridge Stable]] and back. Once he reaches a Stable, he'll rest nearby with his Horse for a moment before leaving again.

To Baddek, taming wild Horses is like adopting a new family member that you can sit on.<ref>{{Cite|Finding and taming a wild horse is like adopting a new family member... that you can sit on.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Once you tame a wild horse, it becomes family. Register it at a stable to make it official.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> He says that registered Horse companions will always be by your side, until they die.<ref>{{Cite|Once you register your horse companion at a stable, it'll always be by your side. Forever. Unless it dies.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> Baddek's Horse is the one thing he can't travel without.<ref>{{Cite|The thing I absolutely can't travel without is my horse.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|There's one thing I absolutely can't travel without. Know what it is? It's my horse.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> As long as he has his Horse, Baddek says he doesn't need anything else, and he believes the Horse is more important than he is.<ref>{{Cite|As long as I have my horse, I don't need anything else. He's more important than I am, to be honest!|Baddek|BotW}}</ref>

Occasionally, Baddek will give Link tips for handling Horses, saying to pet them when they follow directions and work hard, as praising them reinforces good behavior.<ref>{{Cite|Pet your horse when it follows directions. Pet it when it works hard. Praise your horse at the right time to reinforce good behavior.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> In addition, he tells Link that he can't expect a horse to ride hard for him without a meaningful connection,<ref>{{Cite|You can't expect a horse to ride hard for you if you don't have a meaningful connection with it.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> and that he should spend time with his Horse to form a bond.<ref>{{Cite|Spending time with your horse is the best way to establish a connection.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> He also recite Horse facts, stating that Horses can swim if they need to.<ref>{{Cite|Did you know that horses can swim in a pinch?|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> After this, he'll ask Link to name another animal that swims, but says it's a trick question as there aren't any.<ref>{{Cite|Name another animal that can swim. Trick question—you can't. But horses have it down cold. BOOM.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref>

Baddek has also ridden a {{Term|BotW|Stalhorse|link}} in the [[Hebra Mountains]].<ref>{{Cite|Speaking of bones, I once rode a horse made of nothing but bones! No lie! It was up in the snowy mountains.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> Since he could never be afraid of a Horse, Baddek claims he wasn't scared of it.<ref>{{Cite|Was I scared, you ask? Nope. I could never be scared of a horse.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> He describes the Stalhorse as running well and being surprisingly comfortable.<ref>{{Cite|The horse made of bones that I rode up in the snowy mountains was surprisingly comfortable to mount.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|That bony horse ran really well, and it was actually a surprisingly comfortable ride.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref>

Baddek tells {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} that there are four different {{Plural|BotW|Stable|link}} that have different {{Term|BotW|Bridle|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Saddle|link}} styles,<ref>{{Cite|Did you know that some of the stables in Hyrule have slightly different bridle and saddle styles?|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> these being [[Woodland Stable]], [[Highland Stable]], [[Outskirt Stable]], and [[South Akkala Stable]].<ref>{{Cite|I know of four for sure: Woodland Stable, Highland Stable, Outskirt Stable, and South Akkala Stable...|Baddek|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I know of four stables in Hyrule that have slightly different bridle and saddle styles: Woodland Stable, Highland Stable, Outskit Stable, and South Akkala Stable.|Baddek|BotW}}</ref> This, however, is false, and these are simply the Stables where Link can have a worker change the gear of his Horses.
