When you get a new mount and equip it (double click it from your inventory when unbound and use it), if you already have the mount power which comes with it, it tells you on the tooltip/graphic window "you already have the power that come with this mount" (or similar). But it doesn't tell you what it is. In fact this issue is overall a terrible one in the game generally speaking and very badly designed. Trying to find which mount does what thing is a headache and you have to go outside the game and look up spreadhseets and so on to work it all out. You just can't find the information ingame at all.
In the case of a new mount with a power you already have, where a tooltip/graphic already pops up with an announcement and information about that mount which a player is going to read anyway, it should have the referred-to power listed on the tooltip BY NAME when you read it, for information purposes. So it would say what it does already (you already have this power...) but then underneath it would list the actual power's name as well. It's ridiculous that on a tooltip about you already having a power it doesn't tell you what power it is and leaves you clueless and none the wiser than you were before. The power in question needs to be shown on the graphic about already having that power so you know what power that new mount has, understand?
Generally speaking, it would also be a huge improvement to the player's QoL if we could work out a way to display the attached mount power when you view the mount's tooltip generally speaking. So you hover over the mount in question and you have information on that mount (this happens when you go to swap-out a mount and hover over the mounts in the list you see), it also has the power attached to that mount listed somewhere on that tooltip. This would save a lot of people a LOT of time and save loads of headaches. Please consider it.

Apparently pointing-out the bleeding obvious is a 'personal attack'.

Being honest, the amount of over complication around mounts and companions, now with added collars [well for some time] etc means that you either:
a) look it all up on spreadsheets outside the game to work out what to equip, which companion to get, which arti set, what is BiS, which enchants to rank up first, which insignia to get... its very much like stamp collecting, only duller and more time consuming.
or
b) just play the game and have as much fun as you can and stop worrying about the "detail"
I have been doing b) for a few years now and its way more fun than a)
1. Equipment's tooltip already provides the name of the equip power.
e.g.
What the mount tooltip needs is to add the name of the combat power and the name of equip power instead of just the description.
2. The mount tooltip in the stable should have full tooltip description (like the one above + combat power name + equip power name) instead of (spending effort to create) just only insignia slot strip down version of tooltip.
