  I found once I unlocked D-dog and Quiet, that I stopped using the horse. I had unlocked more flight points so didn't have too far to travel. This meant I wasn't boosting my horse up much. To work on this trophy I started replaying the earlier missions. Around 10 or less. Those have the longer distances to travel.
  
  I would just work on getting all the objectives done and S ranks in each. When I got one done, I would move on. If I could I would leave the mission area on the horse too and then start the next mission and travel there by horse, rather than using the chopper. This trophy unlocked when I reached the start of one of the missions, so even riding outside of a mission will progress the horses bond.
  
  I had to replay a few missions to get more objectives for the S rank, so before I had finished the first 10 missions, I had this done.
  
  What is the reason this has 2 negatives? How can I improve it?

  D-Horse is your first buddy, usable from the first mission in Afghanistan.
  
  Your bond with D-Horse will increase as you ride him, by 1% for every 36 seconds of riding. That’s a solid hour’s worth of riding around on his back, so it is a bit of a grind.
  
  Riding during Side-Ops and missions obviously works. I’ve had mixed results with this in Free Roam mode, I’m thinking the time will count if you’ve set up a mission or side op-marker (to commence from the map rather than ACC) on your map, rather than aimlessly wandering.
  
  Hero’s way (Ep 3) is a good mission to get this on, lots of open space to the north of the village with few enemies, no time limit on enemy movement, so you can land to the north, ride around for ages, then snipe the commander and ride back out again. Rinse and repeat.
  
  NOTE: if you hit the 100% you’ll either need to exfil from a mission, or start one and then exfil, for the trophy to register, it will only pop on a results screen.
