A former Celtic Heroes community manager touched on this when battlemounts were first released in
this topic. My personal guess is that it might have something to do with the player fighting animations possibly not scaling well when riding a mount, but I don't know for certain.
I can however say with 99% conviction that it has nothing to do with any luxury or premium status - plus, battlemounts can be earned through bounties, and therefore are not premium-exclusives.
