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 game’s Crown Shop. That last option could cost you real money, however. Buying a horse with your in-game gold isn’t exactly cheap, either.

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

Once you’ve got your horse, make sure it’s equipped as your active mount. Do this by going into Collections, then Mounts, and selecting your Sorrel Horse.
