The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Guide | How To Get Free Early Horse Mount

If you're starting in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and want a reliable mount early in the game, this guide shows you how to get a free horse as part of the main questline, with no need for extra gold or side missions.

To get a free horse early in Oblivion Remastered, speak to Jauffre at Weynon Priory after defending the location during the main story. Here's how to do it.

Follow the Main Questline

Begin by progressing through the main story. After a few initial objectives, you'll reach Kavach, where you'll need to close an Oblivion Gate and rescue civilians trapped inside the chapel. Once that's completed, your next task is to escort the emperor's son back to Weynon Priory.

Defend Weynon Priory

Upon arriving at Weynon Priory, you'll find the location under attack. Defeat the enemies and then speak to Jauffre. In the conversation, select the "Assistance" dialogue option. He will offer support and mention that you may take the late Prior Maborel's horse, who died during the attack.

Claim Your Free Mount

Head to the stables outside Weynon Priory and look for Prior Maborel's Horse—it will be clearly labeled. While taking the horse without speaking to Jauffre is possible, getting his verbal approval avoids any risk of being marked as a thief. Once mounted, the horse is yours to keep.

This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get a horse early in the game, helping you travel faster without spending gold or completing optional quests. It's a small reward that makes a big difference in early exploration.
