How to Get Mount Early

Steal From a Passing NPC

Steal from NPC Early in the Game
The quickest way to mount a horse is by stealing one from the first mounted NPC that you will find at the start of the game. Press F or R2 after getting near the horse, then get ready to sprint away to avoid battling the angry NPC.

Avoid Stealing Many Horses to Evade Authorities

If you keep stealing more horses along the way, there are higher chances of the authorities learning about this. A bounty may be placed on your head, or numerous NPCs may try to chase you and attack you.

Main Story Progression Until General's Shrine

Horse Thieves at General
An alternative way to get mounted immediately is by following the main story quests up until the General's Shrine. Once you get within the vicinity, you will find a couple of horse thieves going their way. Defeat them and claim a horse for yourself.
