The Elder Scrolls Online Mounts Guide – How To Level Up Horses

Everything you need to know about The Elder Scrolls Online Mounts. Find out how to level up horses and what attributes you should care about!


Horses can be purchased from the stables of all the major cities in The Elder Scrolls Online. You can see these stables marked with a horse icon on the map. The stables will give you the option to buy, access, feed and sell your horse.

The horses have three main attributes (speed, capacity and stamina) with each of them having their own importance. The horses have the maximum level cap of 50, so all the stats can’t be maxed out fully.

Leveling Up Your Horses
Every single day, you will be given an option to feed your horse.

You can feed your horse with an apple for 1% Speed, Hay for 1 Stamina or Oats for 1 Capacity. It totally depends on you how you want to build up your horse. A horse can only be fed for 50 times.
