'You believe you are prepared for riding, caring and training a mount? We shall see, we shall see.

'I have a course that I ride to clear my head and uncloud my thoughts... few have completed it besides myself. Around Hengstacer, I have placed twelve gates. My farmhand was tolerably fast, but if you can ride faster, I will count you a worthy student and teach you the basics. Simply ride through each of the gates on your mount before racing off to the next one. Be careful not to miss any gates! You will have to start over if you run out of time.

'When you are ready to start, you can use the Blood Bay steeds. I will start the count as soon as you accept this challenge, so be ready.'

Right-clicking on the 'Mount' vitals display gives you the option to dismount your steed but will also cancel the quest.

The timer will start counting down as soon as you accept this quest.
