I would recommend something in the playerfile actually that contains a
list of owned mounts, then if you use houses or whatever, that would look
at your list of owned mounts and allow you to take them as you see fit,
mebbe send the char a list of his/her mounts. Along with your other
options for renting and stuff like that. This would seem to force you
into specializing your shop system, but that's better than working on a
new database of mounts.
If you are wanting to get personalized mounts, then that would just be a
matter of the mount list containing a new data element or something.
As far as the fighting while mounted, I've been looking at various battle
systems, and I've found that once you've developed the concept fully, the
coding is all easy. This is true for just about everything I've done
with circle-based muds.
my two cents
