Look it up on WowheadHow to get it
Sold by Deathguard Netharian in the Valley of Strength, Orgrimmar, for 1 Vicious Saddle. A saddle is earned in rated PvP while a season is running: wins at 1,000 rating (Combatant) or more fill the Season Rewards bar in the Rated tab; the first full bar of a season gives that season's own vicious mount, and every further full bar in the same season gives a Vicious Saddle.

Notes and sources
The journal's 'Cost: 1' is one Vicious Saddle (the wiki's page for the mount). The coordinates are the wiki's (42.0, 73.8, next to Raider Bork); wow.gg gives 41.8, 73.0.
Saddles can only be earned while a rated PvP season is running: Midnight Season 2 began on 18 August 2026 and the wiki's page for it (edited 2026) lists it as ongoing; its own mount is the Vicious Lightbloom Boar.
The saddle is given to the character that fills the bar (wiki: through a hidden quest, Short-Supply Reward), and the vendor and the mount item are Horde ones, so that has to be a Horde character. The mount item binds to the Warband (Wowhead tooltip).
The points and win counts are wow.gg's, not Blizzard's, and match those for the guide's other vicious mounts. wow.gg names 2v2, 3v3 and rated battlegrounds, mentions Battleground Blitz only as the single-player queue for rated battlegrounds and says nothing of Solo Shuffle; it adds that points stop counting while the rating is under 1,000. The bar in the Rated tab of the PvP window shows the real progress.
wow.gg's page was updated in 2026 but still names The War Within Season 2 and patch 11.1 as current. It also says the achievements Veteran of the Horde, Veteran of the Horde II and Warbringer of the Horde (75, 150 and 300 rated battleground wins) each give a saddle; no other source read says so, and it is not counted here.
Added in patch 5.4.0 and learned account-wide since 7.2.0; asks for level 17 and Apprentice Riding (wiki).
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
