So weird question. With the new faction swap I was wondering do we keep our mounts? For example---
As a night elf who becomes a blood elf do I loose my tiger and it becomes a hawkstrider?

Your mounts will change into the other factions mounts. It's the same for tabards and PvP weapons.

Funny thing, the night that race change came out in EU, i changed my Night Elf into a Draenei and one of the things i was doing then was rep grinding at the argent tournament and i hadn't got exalted with Exodar or Darnassus, both were revered and the first thing i done was check my mounts. When they done the mount changes they added a new saber mount for level 20's, the striped dawnsaber. The striped dawnsaber doesn't have an equivalent for any other Alliance faction, so i was a Draenei revered with Darnassus with one of their mounts.

Unless this hasn't been fixed, the same happens if you are a Tauren with a white kodo and race change to any other Horde faction.

The official WoW site has a nice listing of what becomes what. You can find it on the Faction Change page, under the Mounts tab. A note on the bottom says:

Quote:
** Some races have three varieties of the normal-speed mounts (require 75 riding skill), while others have four. During a faction change, you may receive a random normal-speed mount of a race in your new faction to accommodate this disparity. Your total number of mounts will be unaffected by a faction change.


There is also an odd quirk where some neutral mounts actually have two versions, one with red trappings (Horde) and one with blue (Alliance). Apparently, if you faction change with one of those, you keep the old (now inappropriate) version and can also buy the new version as well.

I'm curious about one thing... If you go from Horde to Alliance and you have a Vemonhide Ravasaur... Those that Ravasaur become a Winterspring Frostsaber, or do you loose it?

I'm pretty sure the Ravasaur becomes the Frostsaber, it was put into the game to even out the Winterspring Alliance mount.

Yup, what Veph said. At least I got a ravasaur when I switched my rogue over.

Well damn. Since the Ravasaur grind is so easy, I'd almost assume people who have a lot of money of their hands would faction change to Horde, get the Ravasaur, then switch back to Alliance. BAM, easy to get Frostsaber.
