How far into the Diablo 4 must you go to get your horse mount? We'll go over the basics of how to get a horse in Diablo 4 so you won't have to hoof it by foot all around Sanctuary.

You'll actually come across the first Stable Master in the game quite early, upon first entering Kyovashad. Alas, you'll not gain access to your first horse mount in Diablo 4 until the end of Act III--after the fight against Brol. You'll be directed to head back to Kyovashad at the start of Act IV with the quest Mount: Doran’s Favor, leading you to get your first horse mount in the game.

After that you can change your horse and its attached cosmetics from any Stable Master. These are found across the hub cities of each region, including the PVP towns. As for the various horse skins, they come from a variety of places. Sure, you can buy new horse skins with actual money.

You'll also come across them as loot drops from world bosses, rewards in each season's battle pass, and more.

Added bonus to getting your first horse mount in Diablo 4: You gain access to the super-useful dismounting attack for each class. Time to mow down those undead legions with the power of horsey friendship. It's almost like friendship is magic or something. Weird. Could make for a good TV show.
