The quickest way is to go to the nearest Stablemaster and take the Swift Travel to West Bree. Then, talk to Bill Rosewood at the West Bree Gate to bring a horse to Hengstacers Farm. Passengers who will take you directly to West Bree can be found at Michel Delving, Celondim and Thorin's Gate.
You can also follow the path out of West Bree Gate and then turn north and follow the river past Thornley's Worksite until you come to the farm road on the right.
This is how you show your quality.
Éogar in the stable offers to look forshow your qualityWhen you start the quest a timer will start and you will want to run to the brown horse or pony in the small stable in front of Éogar. Go up to the bay and go south through the first gate, follow the path around the gate and go through each of the gates, there are 12 in total. You have to complete the mission in 2 minutes and 48 seconds. If it doesn't work, you can try again. Just talk to Éogar.
This is how you get to your first mountain
After completing the "Show Yourself" quest at Hengstacers Farm in Breeland (or gaining the riding ability), you can purchase a horse/pony from Éogar with silver. The first purchase of Éogar costs 500 silver for horses with 62% sprint speed and 200 health. The Breeland Starter Steed has 32% speed and 50 health for 200 silver.
After the first purchase of a horse, you will receive a discount on all subsequent purchases, and the cost will be reduced to 200 silver for 62% speed horses and 80 silver for 32% speed horses. Once you gain reputation with the Men of Bree, the cost will drop even further.
The horses available in Éogar are shown below: the starting horse Bree, Bloodbay, Blonde Sorrel, Bay, and Chestnut.
You put the horses in line
If you are a man or an elf your horses will be horses, while if you are a hobbit or a dwarf you will ride a pony. The horse or pony you choose is the same color and has the same saddle, equipment, etc.
Both horses and ponies belong to the same species (Equus caballus). The difference between horses and ponies is body size. A horse is a horse that stands at least 14.2 hands or approximately 1.20m tall. A pony is a horse with less than 14.2 hands. Ponies remain small throughout their lives and grow faster than horses.

war horse for battle
War Steeds are descendants of the Mearas, a race of wild horses native to northern Middle-earth. They surpass other horses in speed, intelligence, and strength. The Riders of Rohan expansion introduced the War Steed, a type of mount that you can use in battle. You do not need to own the Riders of Rohan expansion to get your war steed.
When your character reaches level 71, they will receive the quest "The Wold" from Dala and can go to Langhold, Rohan, where they will complete a series (level 75) of 12 quests to learn combat on horseback and on horseback.
Steed of War is slightly larger than normal touring mountain bikes and can traverse any landscape, though combat on horseback is restricted to certain areas. The war steed rides faster and turns more than a normal horse (agility traits help with turning radius).
The warhorse you are with is gray in color. You can change the skin color, mane/tail, and cosmetic items equipped in an outfit slot. The War Steed features levels of progression, detailed specialization, and a combat system. You can also equip outfits for your war steed and a legendary harness.
There are three types of war steeds that can be customized to suit your preferred play style. They are:
Warhorse - Light
The steed is a lightly armored warhorse. Fast and agile, the Courser offers the greatest speed and maneuverability on the battlefield, trading off stamina and armor to maintain mobility.
War Steed: Medium
The Rouncey is a moderately armored warhorse. The Rouncey provides balance and stability without sacrificing survivability or maneuverability.
War Steed - Heavy
The Destrier is a heavily armored warhorse. Stocky and imposing, the Destrier was bred to fight. The slower and immobile warhorse trades speed and mobility.
show your steeds
If you own a premium home in the Kingstead Meadows or Eastfold Hills neighborhoods of Rohan, you can show your travel endorsement with a trailer listing. A steed carrier (kept in your wallet) is a token used as currency to embellish a steed.
Various halters are included with the purchase of a Deluxe House (5) or Mead Hall (8). They can also be purchased with Mithril Coins or traded with Figments of Splendor. There are three cases included with the Rohan case set from the LOTRO store.
How to make a mountain decoration.
- Activate editing mode in your home.
- Right click on the meadow post in your garden.
- A window will open asking if you would like to purchase a container decoration. Confirm the purchase and pay for the decoration with the halter or mithril coins.
- Once you have purchased the mount decoration, open the mounts tab (K) and drag the selected mount ability to the docking post.
- A headline will appear on the post and your headline decoration will be created.
- Rotate the stand as you like.
- Press save.
You can always remove the decoration from the container and put it in your inventory, move it to another hook, or keep it in the safe.
You can place 5 mounts in the Deluxe Courtyards and 8 in the Mead Hall Courtyards (only in the two Rohan Rooms at the time of writing). You can rotate the supports and place them in different places. In edit mode, look for the mounting posts, usually near the post. Supports stay put with a bit of animation, they don't move.
