Horse mounts

For Skeletal horse mounts, see Skeletal horse mounts. For Felsteed mounts, see Demonic mounts. For lore, see horse.

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:

•  Gregor MacVince <Horse Breeder> at Theramore Isle in Dustwallow Marsh
•  Katie Hunter <Horse Breeder> at the Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwynn Forest
•  Katie Stokx <Horse Breeder> outside Old Town in Stormwind City
•  Unger Statforth <Horse Breeder> in Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands

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 Exalted reputation with Stormwind City.

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  Astrid Langstrump <Mountain Horse Handler> in Darnassus, just outside the Howling Oak. If you are playing as any race other than worgen, you will also need to have Exalted 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.

•  [Mountain Horse] and  [Swift Mountain Horse] are sold for 1 and 10 respectively.

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!
