To add to the answer already given, this was a change introduced with 1.6. Previously you fed your individual mounts, and you couldn't feed a mount more than 50 times. When 1.6 dropped they changed it so that you no longer feed your mounts, and instead you take riding lessons that apply to your character, and that max out at 60 in each category. That means that regardless of which mount you choose to use you'll have the same speed, mount stamina, and carrying capacity. This change was clearly made with the Crown Store in mind in order to make it more attractive to buy multiple mounts. If they hadn't made this change, nobody with a leveled mount would ever spend money on a new mount in the Crown Store because they'd have to start all over from scratch.
Of course, the slightly sad thing is that when they announced this change prior to 1.6, even after we knew the Crown Store was coming it didn't even occur to me that the mount changes had anything to do with the Crown Store. All I could think was "holy shamoley, my horse can be +60 speed and +60 capacity and +60 stamina!" It was significantly later that I thought about why they made those changes.Asherons_Call wrote: »To add to the answer already given, this was a change introduced with 1.6.

You nailed it on the head good sir (or madam). This was exactly my train of thought when I asked the question. They made a smart move because I am really liking the look of the new spotted kitty
