Well, you are going to have to wait just a little while in order to get your hands on one. How long? We do not know yet. What we do know is that the vendor has been removed entirely, thus preventing players from even gazing longingly at the listing in the menu. As Sapience explained on the forums, the issue was not really the vendor so much as the horse itself.
To wit: the way the game is handling mounts is being changed. As a result, they need to change the item, remove the item from the vendor list, or remove the vendor entirely until the issue is resolved. However, the former two changes require a patch, and the issue is kind of small for an entire patch -- not to mention that it is the sort of fix more easily rolled into a larger patch. While it is bad news for Lord Of The Rings Gold players, it is at least nice to get a quick and clear explanation on why the vendor got yanked.
