Horse mounts

Horse mounts are largely Alliance only mounts. Horse mounts, in this case, also includes those that are embodiments of spirits (Paladin's Chargers, Death Knight's Deathchargers).

Factional mounts: Apprentice
You can purchase these mounts from several vendors: You must have riding skill of 75 (obtainable at level 20). If you are playing as any race other than a human, you will also need to have reputation with Stormwind City.
 * at Theramore Isle in Dustwallow Marsh
 * at the Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwynn Forest
 * outside Old Town in Stormwind City
 * in Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands

Factional mounts: Journeyman
You can purchase these mounts from Katie Hunter, Katie Stokx or Gregor MacVince, so long as your character has riding skill of 150 (obtainable at level 40). They are reputation restricted like the apprentice mounts.

Original epic mounts
These used the old epic mount graphics and as of Patch 1.4 are no longer obtainable.

Gilneas mountain horses
In addition to the horses of Stormwind, patch 4.3.0 brought about two new horses for the people of Gilneas, purchasable from in Darnassus, just outside the Howling Oak. If you are playing as any race other than worgen, you will also need to have reputation with Gilneas.

These horses have several differences from that of the Stormwind horse mounts. Originally, mountain horses were slightly larger than the other horse mounts, and did not rear up and neigh for their mount special. Instead, mountain horses leaned down to graze. They do not have saddles, and had slightly touched up model skins. This was changed with the launch of Battle for Azeroth, where the Mountain Horse model was completely swapped from the original unsaddled horses to the new high definition horse models without saddles. They are still slightly larger than other horses and do not neigh.

Stormwind horse breeders quotes

 * Neutral non-human:
 * Sorry, but I am not disposed to sell horses to any individual who is not considered to be at least exalted to the Kingdom of Stormwind. These steeds are the finest you'll find anywhere, and we certainly wouldn't want them in the hands of our enemies.


 * Not saying you're an enemy, of course... just earn the trust of Stormwind and then we can do business.


 * Friendly and above non-human:
 * Years of quality breeding techniques and plenty of care allow me the privilege of showing you these horses! Please, take your time as you consider them for your mount.  A horse is a companion for the ages, friend.  Don't sell yourself short - get your steed here today!
