Ride the Night-Mare is a quest with a boss called the Night-Mare. Defeating this boss will unlock the Horse Quest Pet. The quest scroll can be purchased from the Quest Shop for 4 gems.
The Night-Mare's HP (500) makes this a medium length quest and its strength multiplier (1.5) make this an easy quest. Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party can typically finish this quest in about two weeks.

Description
While relaxing in the Tavern with @beffymaroo and @JessicaChase, the talk turns to good-natured boasting about your adventuring accomplishments. Proud of your deeds, and perhaps getting a bit carried away, you brag that you can tame any task around. A nearby stranger turns toward you and smiles. One eye twinkles as he invites you to prove your claim by riding his horse. As you all head for the stables, @UncommonCriminal whispers, "You may have bitten off more than you can chew. That's no horse - that's a Night-Mare!" Looking at its stamping hooves, you begin to regret your words...
Objective(s)
Defeat the Night-Mare.
On Completion
It takes all your skill, but finally the horse stamps a couple of hooves and nuzzles you in the shoulder before allowing you to mount. You ride briefly but proudly around the Tavern grounds while your friends cheer. The stranger breaks into a broad grin. “I can see that was no idle boast! Your determination is truly impressive. Take these eggs to raise horses of your own, and perhaps we’ll meet again one day.” You take the eggs, the stranger tips his hat…and vanishes.
