Horse mounts

For Skeletal horse mounts, see Skeletal horse mounts.

Horse mounts are largely Alliance only mounts. Horse mounts, in this case, includes those horses that are summoned from another plane (Felsteeds), and those that are embodiments of spirits (Paladin's Chargers, Death Knight's Deathchargers).

Factional mounts: Apprentice

These mounts give a 60% speed increase on land. 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
•  Merideth Carlson <Horse Breeder> at Southshore in the Hillsbrad Foothills
•  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.

Factional mounts: Journeyman

These mounts give a 100% speed increase on land. You can purchase these mounts from Katie Hunter, Merideth Carlson 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.
