I made the Elven horses fast for three reasons. Primarily, the speed of Asfaloth. We don't know if he was a normal Rivendell horse, Valinorean, or what. I'm going with Rivendell. Secondly, the horses of the Elves had some Valinorean heritage, and would have benefits associated with that. Finally, the Elven horses need something unique rather than the single ability to ride bareback.
