"This type of horse is smaller than a draft horse or a war horse but is capable of carrying a rider for a greater distance. A riding horse is noted for its ability to exist anywhere there is grass to feed on. Any wild horse can become a riding horse, if tamed. The amount of weight the horse can carry and still move at normal speed is 3000 cn. The maximum weight that can be carried is 6000 cn at half movement. (Cook/Marsh, X34)"

Another advantage of a riding horse is that has the "ability to exist anywhere there is grass to feed on"; in other words it doesn't need specialized feed (grain, oats, etc.) in its diet (X34).
