More on Riding Skills
Update: Trauma still continues, but posters to the Customer Service Forum are getting satisfaction in some cases. Our mounts info has been updated (in the meantime) for everyone who just want to see how things work now. Our pre-patch analysis of the skill changes can still be browsed in the news archives.
In the wake of the riding skill trauma, Blizzard is attempting to make things right (customer service ftw!). Blizzard’s Batta posted the following:

As an additional note, we offer our apologies for the confusion caused by this patch and the sudden changes made to the functionality of mounts and the associated Riding skill. It is our goal to provide the best service possible and we feel the lack of warning caused an inconvenience for our playerbase. Thank you everyone for your continued patience as we work to determine the best possible course of action moving forward to assist those who were adversely affected by the changes to this system.
Mention Batta in your help request and request that the ticket be left open.
