Do you keep mounts if you switch covenants?
To answer the question directly, you keep your mounts even if you switch covenants, but only if you have reached Renown 80 with the respective covenant on at least one character on your account. This allows you to use the mounts and transmog sets from the previous covenant, giving you more freedom to explore different covenants without losing your progress.
