Notes and trivia

Players who own this mount can place a Hitching Post every three minutes, which is only visible to party members. Interacting with it will apply the [Nightmarish Reins] buff to the user's mount, with the cast time of a regular mount.
It was released on June 11, 2014, and was the eighth mount to join the in-game shop.
This mount was inspired from the [Bridle of the Ironbound Wraithcharger]'s original concept. During Mists of Pandaria, the latter was supposed to come from a Pet Store item known as the Iron Hitching Post. It would have allowed party and raid members to make their mount appear as an "Iron Warhorse" for a limited amount of time.^[3] However, unlike the cosmetic helmets announced in the same blog post, the [Iron Hitching Post] was never released. The idea was later incorporated into the Warforged Nightmare mount with the [Nightmarish Hitching Post].
