Sold by Katie Stokx, the horse breeder next to SI:7 just outside Old Town in Stormwind City, for 10 gold. A human buys it outright; any other Alliance race has to be Exalted with Stormwind first. Katie Hunter at the Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwynn Forest and Gregor MacVince in Theramore sell it as well.

Before you go
- Exalted with Stormwind, unless the buyer is a human: the Stormwind Tabard from Captain Lancy Revshon in the Trade District, worn in dungeons, turns their reputation into Stormwind's; quests in Elwynn Forest, Westfall, Redridge Mountains, Duskwood and the other Stormwind zones, the cooking and fishing dailies in the city and the Argent Tournament count too · about 4 h
- 10 gold
In all: about 4 h of play, 10 gold, starting from nothing.

Notes and sources
The wiki's page for the mount lists three sellers:
- Katie Stokx, at 77.0, 67.8 (the wiki and wow.gg, which spells her Katie Stokes)
- Katie Hunter, at 84.0, 65.5 (wow.gg)
- Gregor MacVince, at 65.2, 51.4 (wow.gg)
The wiki has it at level 17 with Apprentice Riding since patch 9.0.1; wow.gg ties Apprentice Riding to level 10.
The journal leaves out the reputation. The wiki's page for the vendor says only humans can buy from her by default and other characters must be Exalted with Stormwind; its page for the faction (edited 2026) and wow.gg's guide (updated 2026) say the same. It was not confirmed in the game. The mount is account-wide once learned, so any human on the account can buy it for 10 gold and skip the reputation.
The time given for the reputation is the weak figure: no source read gives reputation amounts, totals or the starting standing of the other races. wow.gg says the tabard costs 10 gold at Friendly, where the wiki says it is sold at every standing and names no price.
Guides: Wowhead's is a user-submitted list of every racial mount with its vendor, updated 2024; it names the Swift Palomino under Katie Stokx and gives the rule that these are bought 'by being Exalted with their respective faction, or by being the race it's part of', but not how the reputation is earned. wow.gg's has the tabard-and-dungeons method. Wowhead's own page for the item was not opened: its tooltip (vendor, zone, 10 gold, binds when picked up) and the wiki left nothing open.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
