🐴 The Wishblossom Ranch DLC has brought so many exciting additions to Disney Dreamlight Valley, but one feature has already become a standout favourite of mine — and it involves all of the new mounts. Getting around the Valley has never felt so smooth, fast, or magical, and once you unlock your first horse, the entire way you explore the world completely shifts.
After discovering your first mount in the Ranch storyline (don't worry, you'll be guided through!) you’ll unlock the ability to summon them no matter where you are. Whether you’re soaking up the sun on Dazzle Beach, finding gems in Eternity Isle, adventuring through Mythopia, or roaming the Wishblossom Mountains — your mount can meet you anywhere outdoors. It’s a simple feature, but it completely changes the way you explore.
Calling your mount is incredibly easy — simply use the shortcut via your main screen during gameplay, and you’ll pull up your full list of mounts. From there, just select the one you want to ride (the list will only show ones that you have unlocked). And once you hop on… the speed difference is huge. Traversing the world feels smoother, quicker, and so much more fun — especially if you’re gathering resources or running errands during quests. Even long routes feel so effortless now.
As you continue your journey through the Ranch story, you’ll unlock additional mounts, each with its own animations, personality, and charm. And yes… Sven absolutely steals the show. Seeing him standing next to Olaf is pure Disney joy, and riding him around the Valley feels incredibly magical. Switching between mounts is seamless too — if you’re already riding, your horse switches over from beneath you. If you’re on foot, you can summon and dismiss each mount individually, and even have multiple ones appear beside you at once.
This new mechanic is one of those features I didn’t realise I truly needed until now (I relied on fast traveling quite a bit!). Exploration feels more dynamic, gathering resources is significantly faster, and moving from one area to another is simply more enjoyable. It’s a perfect blend of convenience and charm — and a wonderful addition to the magical world we already love. While I have only unlocked one customisable horse and Maximus so far (and Sven obtained through the Deluxe Edition of the game), I cannot wait to unlock future mounts, including adding a few more customisable ones to the stable! 🌸
