The recommended path is to curve around the ridge to the south before heading northwest to the [[Taobab Grassland]]. On this path, however, there will be two Lynels. It's recommended to take them out so they don't bother you on your way back with the horse, but you can try running past them; just be aware that the giant horse has a lower max speed than most horses.
The recommended path is to curve around the ridge to the south before heading northwest to the [[Taobab Grassland]]. On this path, however, there are numerous [[Blue Bokoblin]] riders, as well as two [[Lynel]]s. It is recommended to take out all the enemies beforehand to make for a much safer path. The [[Giant Horse]] has a much lower maximum speed than that of some of the other horses, so it is very risky to try to run away from the enemies in the area.


When you find the giant horse, it'll be easily visible among some regular sized ones. Level 3 stealth is recommended to approach, and completing your second stamina wheel (and possibly starting the third) is recommended as well, or use stamina potions, so that you can soothe it enough to ride after you mount it.
The Giant Horse can be found alongside a bunch of smaller horses and it is very easy to identify, given its large size. When approaching the horse, it is recommended that Link has level 3 stealth so that the horse does not run away. Alternatively, Link can reach the horse by paragliding down from one of the large trees, landing right on top of the horse. Furthermore, once Link mounts the horse, he will need to soothe it. This will take over two full wheels of Stamina. So you'll either need to have several [[Stamina Vessel]] upgrades, or have a Stamina generating elixir or meal that you can consume while soothing the horse.


Then ride it back to Straia and talk to him to complete the quest and get a silver rupee. You get to keep the horse, so if you want to ride it to a stable and register it, feel free.
Once you have the horse soothed, ride it back to Straia and talk to him to complete the quest. After he examines the horse, he will give Link a [[Silver Rupee]]. Link gets to keep the horse, so it is recommended that Link ride over to the nearby [[Highland Stable]] to register the horse.
