The Easiest Way to Get and Use a Mount in ESO

There are several ways to get your hands on a mount in the game. You can buy a horse from the stables, and you can also purchase a stranger mount from the gameā€™s Crown Shop. That last option could cost you real money, however. Buying a horse with your in-game gold isnā€™t exactly cheap, either.

The simplest option is to keep playing The Elder Scrolls Online until you hit level 10. One of the rewards youā€™ll get is a Sorrel Horse. That might sound like some kind of fire-spewing, four-legged nightmare, but itā€™s just a regular, real-world type of horse.

Once youā€™ve got your horse, make sure itā€™s equipped as your active mount. Do this by going into Collections, then Mounts, and selecting your Sorrel Horse.
