Source
Players must first have unlocked the secrets of Naxxramas by earning the 
[Wards of the Dread Citadel] achievement, and completed Zackett Skullsmash's 
[1-70] Inconvenience Fee quest.
Enter the 10-player version of Naxxramas. Do not kill Instructor Razuvious. Purchase a 
[Rotten Delicious] from Zackett for 30x 
[Death's Bargaining Chip]. Head to Valiance's stall at [50, 24] at the north end of the lower level of the Military Quarter and slowly walk up to Valiance while trying to use the Rotten Delicious.
After using the apple, head to Razuvious's arena at [43, 40] and interact with an Obedience Crystal to mind control one of the Death Knight Understudies. Run the add to Valiance and let it mount the steed, then run the mounted understudy back to Razuvious and break the mind control by right-clicking the pet portrait and choosing "Dismiss".
Defeat the add, then Razuvious, who will drop the reins.
Mount journal
Most undead steeds have their riders chosen for them. Valiance, on the other hand, chooses its own rider.
