Since all mounts have the same speed, what if you can train mounts just like pets to gain speed. And there would be mount derbies to race your mounts in! You could even feed your mount!

Not all mounts have the same speed (I can name a few with +20% speed and one which takes away speed instead)
But this would be interesting (Maybe the sloth mount could be trained to go even slower?)
Agreed! I want our mounts to feel more diversified. Personally I feel the cheetah mount should go 70% faster since it is the fastest land animal and travels 70mph.
I have always assumed the nearly universal 40% speed boost to be a deliberate design choice, so groups of characters traveling together would find it easier to say close together. If you allow options that result in mounts having a variety of different speeds, inevitably players will get straggled out trying to follow a leader on a fast mount, which leads to time wasted grouping up or characters getting stuck in combat for a turn or two before their friends can catch up.
