After two frustrating runs, I had the good fortune to follow someone who was doing the quest successfully! There's just two jumps to worry about. No speed boost necessary.
* Go over the stone bridge to the left when the elekk jumps over the ravine. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of slack but make sure to catch up by staying to the right of the big tree after it jumps.
* At the last jump, there is a small ledge down the cliff to your left. Jump down on that ledge and then down to the ground. Your rope may start to blink red, but as long as you stay in range once you've landed you should be fine. When I did a second run just for fun, I missed the ledge and still survived so no sweat if you miss that part.

I think the frostwolf glitches the quest. Just use a regular mount and everything should be okay other then missing the jumps.
For this quest I used a Water Strider and once the Young Meadowstomper jumps over the cliff I used the path directly to the left of it to avoid the jump and it's easy from there on!

Description
The plains of Nagrand are the most lush and fertile that I have ever seen. Should you ever see them, you will come upon the mightiest beasts that this place has to offer. Among them, the great elekk. A magnificent beast with horns that can grow larger than you or I. Here is another rope, should you wish to tangle with such a beast.
