Not sure if this question has been asked before but here goes;
How would the Horse Master feat interact in the case of multiple mounts from different classes?
For example a character is a standard Cavalier who qualifies for the Horse Master Feat then multi-classes into another class that explicitly provides a Mount (not just an Animal Companion) such as an Oracle with the Nature Mystery, a Paladin or a Mounted Fury Barbarian. Could the Cavalier/Oracle hybrid end up with two mounts (say a horse and a camel) pegged to his character level instead of merely just one mount?
The reason I ask this is Horse Master, unlike Boon Companion, pegs the mount's level to the character's level thus there is no more question of allocation of character levels to determine the animal companion's power. Furthermore the Horse Master feat only requires the Expert Trainer class feature on its Prerequisites line, it makes no mention of a specific Mount class feature and its text mentions only a mount, not a class-specific mount.
Analogously could Horse Master in theory apply to a Hunt Master's hunting pack since his Animal Trainer ability is essentially Expert Trainer limited to his pack?
P.S.: This is my first post, so if I've broken any style guidelines or forums rules please inform me.

Shooting from the hip, I think the answer is that the various mounts normally stack, so you end up with only a single mount of your character level.
For example, Cavalier 5 / Mount Fury Barbarian 5 / Fighter 5, would normally have a level 10 mount, but with Horse Master, you get a level 15 mount.
I'm sure there are others with various RAW and RAI arguments who would disagree, and I haven't researched this in depth or put much thought into it, so take this for whatever you feel it's worth.

Well how about in this case to be more specific;
Cavalier 5, takes Horse Mount.Oracle 1, takes Bonded Mount Revelation, opts to add a second pet instead of adding that level to the Cavalier's mount.
In theory Horse Mastery would elevate the mount of the Cavalier to Level 6 based on character level alone. What would happen to the mount from the Oracle, would it be stuck as a Level 1 mount or would it also benefit from Horse Master and be raised to Level 6 as well?
