- Not at release but it is planned

Mounts are available to you from lvl 1, and you can buy them yourself eventually.
Right now they are doing a lot of tweaking to the economy. People are actually going broke just trying to get repairs to their gear. Mounts are indeed very expensive and are not really something you can attain until you are in your 30s. The set path horse travel routes are quite expensive too. Get used to hoofing it for many, many levels.
Making mounts attainable early and then being able to upgrade them as you level higher is one thing Vanguard got right. I think right now LoTRO should look at something like this because LoTRO's economy is killing people right now. I'm also getting tired of having to run EVERYWHERE at level 20. Everything else though LoTRO has gotten right and is superior to Vanguard in every other way.
False info alert-^^^^^^
Last weeks patch did make armor repair extremely expensive. However the Devs acknowledged they had screwed up that evening and there was a hot fix the next day which brought it back into line. There was a second hot fix yesterday which gave the 1- 10 characters more cash. My level 10 character can clear 30 silver an hour getting his traits.
Horse travel expensive? only if you consider 5- 10 silver average cost expensive for travel to any of the level 1- 20 areas. My new character yesterday exited the starter instance at level 5 with all his quested weapons and armor and 15 silver in his pocket just from doing the quest line.
Minimum level to buy a mount is 35 if memory serves correctly.

Any more info would be appreciated
They promised that we'd always have enough money for basic needs, like training and repairs...and I suppose saving up for horses would require extra work on a players part.... crafting, adventuring or gathering
But no, the world is not really large....so don't panic.... you'll get around OK, with the existing horse routes (some are a real bargin, like 1 silver) and hoofing it for now.

They changed the economy because people had / waned too much money for things in the auction house, now people still ask for too much, but we are all broke. They didnt fix the problem.
sometimes getting money is too hard for basic needs...
and sometimes its just too easy to get money (RF Online for instance)
The devs did patch the game BUT it mostly affected costs for lower level characters. Anyone lvl 15+ it didn't change much for. I went complately broke past lvl 15 just trying to keep my items repaired. I play the game EVERY day and I'm in the largest powerhouse guild in the game so I pretty much know what I'm talking about. Also, skills that you buy at your trainer are outrageous. Level 20 is a landmark level for a champion. At lvl 20 I got around 6 new skills. The trainer wanted 40 silver EACH for each skill. That is an outrageous amount in the game! A guildie sent me over 1 gold so I could purchase all my skills. The biggest thing the patch did to help is that it slightly increased how much money you get for selling off looted stuff from mobs to vendors. That helped a bit. Costs for repairs and training did NOT change much at all though.
Despite these tweaks that the devs are experimenting with do not let them scare you into missing this game at release. I love this game and it is the best MMO out imo. It is brilliantly done.

I've rolled three characters since the patch and hotfix and have had no problems affording repairs or skills. Granted I don't have as much coin as I had before, but there was far too much floating around in game prior to the changes.
