Mounts provide a faster means of traveling from one adventure to another. Your character can purchase a mount from a Stable Master.Although there are many stables throughout Tamriel, not all have Stable Masters. Search stables in major cities to locate a Stable Master.
Summoning Mounts
Once you have purchased a mount, you can summon it by pressing the H key. Pressing the H key again will cause your character to dismount.
Characters with multiple mounts can choose their active mount through the Collections Menu. The Collections Menu will also allow you to name your mount.Visiting a Stable Master will allow your character to take Riding Lessons. Riding Lessons will allow your character to increase their Speed, Stamina, and Carry Capacity attributes in the area of mount riding.
Mounts and Combat
Attacking or using most abilities while mounted will cause your character to immediately dismount. While mounted, hold the SHIFT key to increase your movement speed while draining your mount's stamina bar. Players are immune to Stuns and Knockbacks while mounted.
Taking damage or being hit by enemy abilities drains your mount's stamina bar. Taking damage on your mount with an empty stamina bar will knock you off your mount and stun you. Your mount regains stamina while not sprinting or taking damage.
Multi-Rider Mounts
A Multi-Rider Mount lets you and a groupmate ride on the same mount. Once acquired, set it as your active mount through the Collections Menu. Summoning and dismounting from the Multi-Rider Mount works the same as other mounts: press the H key.
To ride as a passenger, you must be in the same group as the mount's driver. Once in a group, aim your targeting reticule at a groupmate who is on their own Multi-Rider Mount and who has an empty passenger seat, then hold down theF key. This brings up a radial menu of interact options. Move your mouse to the Ride Mount option and release the F key to commit to your selection. A passenger can dismount at any time, but if the driver chooses to dismount, the passenger also dismounts.Riding Skills work normally for the driver of the mount. Passengers will use their own Riding Stamina to determine how much damage they can take before being dismounted. The passenger's Riding Speed does not contribute to the Multi-Rider Mount's speed.
Drivers and passengers on a Multi-Rider Mount are targeted by enemies individually, taking individual damage and losing individual Riding Stamina. Drivers knocked off their mounts or killed while mounted also cause passengers to dismount, whereas passengers knocked off the mount or killed do not disrupt the driver.
