Horses: What does "Carry Capacity" do?

You can feed your horse stuff that increases its "carrying capacity" but I have yet to figure out what this does in-game...
Indeed it is so...

    each feeding gives you one more bag slot for your char. I am not sure if this upgrade stays if you switch to another horse later on tho

    hmmm... wasn't aware of this. Most interesting.

    ALas... this is usless unless you want to carry lots of stuff all at once. That is what mail is for:)

    Good thing I didnt' waste points on that then.

    its a cheap way to get extra bag space on mules which you dont play. If i have some time I swing by the stable to get that extra slot.

    Cheap? IDk about cheap.... paying 1000s of gold to boost up capacity of a horse seems like a waste. Just have better inventory management skills!:)

    I make a few thousand a day just from casual questing and expect to make more at higher levels. It seems like a good investment to spend 2500 for an extra 10 slots to hold crafting mats. If you are not a crafter then by all means skip it

    After the first two inventory expansions and the first bank expansion, 250g per slot is the cheapest in the game.

    Fair enough. But using a horse for riding is more important that boosting bag space simply because player's inablity to manage bag space is /epicfail

    Yah, i hear you on the lack of gold if you play alot of pvp...

    my main is still concentrating on speed boosts which have made that slow starter horse much bearable. I wont be getting the bags on it tho, as I hope to have the fast mount by then and will do stamina next.

    does anyone know if the upgraded bags you spent on one mount stays if you switch to another horse?

    I guess you can always test it (if you have gold to buy another horse)...

    If you switch horses you lose the slots. Having tons of bag space is handy. I bought a draft horse and am just upgrading carry capacity every day and I can roam and quest and do dungeons and farm mats for hours and hours at a time without stopping. Saves alot of having to mess around with addons like bounce and the mail system.

    Saving up for a speed horse to use for when I pvp though.

    simple get one horse with max carrying capacity, use it on raids and other group stuff where you might end up with lots of loot,
