    The trophy unlocks once you have ridden any animal or animals for a cumulative total of 5 km. Since it is cumulative, the riding can be done a separate intervals during the game. The trophy unlocks when the sum total of the rides reaches 5 km.

    The earliest opportunity to unlock occurs when you reach the Resistance Camp as part of normal story progression in chapter 2 and can buy the sachet from the supply shop. The sachet is a key item the prevents animals from attacking you. In addition to buying the sachet, buy some animal bait. Ensuring you have the sachet in inventory, use the animal bait in the vicinity of an animal like a moose. As the animal is eating the bait, interact with it to ride it. Ride it anywhere you want--it is simplest just to ride it in a large circular path. The trophy will unlock once you cover a distance of 5 km.

    Riding animals is faster than traveling on foot but, of course, not as fast as fast travel. There is no requirement to use them for transportation but there is some benefit to doing so. If you are inclined to use animals for transportation the trophy will unlock during normal game play and there is no need to force the issue.

    Note: Although this trophy is easily unlocked during normal game play, it is one of the trophies available for sale at the secret trophy shop. This special shop becomes available after three playthroughs. This trophy can be purchased with 50,000 gold.
