The Hippogryph is just another reskin. The faerie dragon i'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's from the 10 year anniversary. They're just giving night elves some love mountwise anyway!
Emerald Hippogryph was just confirmed to be a new Recruit-a-Friend reward.
Friends In Places Even Higher Than That (New) Obtain an Emerald Hippogryph mount through the Recruit-a-Friend program. Account Wide.

It's a fair assumption that Faerie Dragon be the 10th anniversary mount.
But 10th anniversary is 13 months from present. I think blizzard can cook something else. It's not something of high priority as for now.
I'm just gonna say what everyone either a) expecting to hear in this thread or b) is thinking.
Emerald Dream Confirmed.

What Blizzard is telling me:
"We gonna sucker you in into spending lots of money"
>emerald in it's name
it's coming. :3
The Hippogryph is going to be a store mount going by the patch strings.
Aye mate
Maybe the next expansion is about the Emerald dream - both mounts would fit.
Atoms are liars, they make up everything!
But it's recyling of old content and just a reskin deluxe.
Same model, same skeleton, other skin -> reskin
Example:
vs.
Same model with some extra polygon details, same skeleton, other skin -> reskin deluxe
Examples:
New model, same skeleton, other skin -> low efford new
Example:
vs.
Different Model, different skeleton, different skin -> really new
Examples:
(with WotlK)

What you call a 'reskin deluxe' is a remodel. And what you call a reskin is a recolor.
Recolor = same skeleton, same model, even the same textures but just a palette swap.
Reskin = same skeleton, same model, but different textures. Say, an eye has a different shape.
Remodel = silhouette change. Different beak, different wings, added 3D feathers (like the Hippogryph)
Completely new = built from the ground up. Skeleton, model, texture, everything. Building new models becomes redundant after some time, because there is no use in giving, say, a cat and a tiger a hugely different and unique skeleton because their posture is mostly the same.
