The Riddle
I'm not a boy, though I have a cowboy voice,
funded by Studebaker, though that wasn't my choice.
I don't eat peanut butter - the truth was classified knowledge
My show ended when I went to college
Answer
Mr. Ed was voiced by cowboy actor Allan Lane, and he's not a boy - he's a horse. The show was initially produced by the Studebaker company, which provided all of the vehicles. The urban legend is that he moved his mouth because peanut butter was put on his lips, but that wasn't the case, though they didn't reveal how they got him to "talk" until long after the show ended. In the last episode aired, Mr. Ed did, indeed, go to college (but dropped out before the episode ended).
