Unless your mount has some intelligence and a good alignment such as a unicorn or pegasi, then yes, all normal horses are neutral in alignment. So paladin mounts are generally neutral.

I am in the process of creating my first paladin character. I see that the paladin's mount is analogous to the druid's animal companion. The druid's animal companion entry makes no mention of alignment, so I suppose that it defaults to that of a normal animal, i.e. neutral.
Is this also supposed to be the case for a paladin's mount?
Given the 6 int, the fact that the mount eventually gains the celestial template, and the fact that the paladin code of conduct requires that: A paladin may accept only henchmen, followers, or cohorts who are lawful good. I think it's pretty reasonable to say the mount is lawful good.
