Easy enough quest. Just talk to the questgiver and you will be mounted. I hope that you are not motion sickness though because when I did this quest, the camera was awful. It was bouncing around everywhere.
Well damn. I only wish I had read this before taking the flight master to Desolation Hold. Thanks for the tip!

Description
Thanks to you, the immediate threat is over. But my work here in the Barrens is only beginning. Honor's Stand was captured and Taurajo was sacked while Warlord Gar'dul was in charge of the region. The Warchief has sent me here to clean up his mess. I would like you to ride into Desolation Hold to the south in advance of me and let Gar'dul know that it is time for a reckoning. Talk to me when you are ready to leave and I will assemble my vanguard to accompany you.
