How detailed do you get with horses or other mounts in your campaign? I have some players that are really into what they are riding. As I noted before, I will be posting mine when I have more time to post and am at home where the documents are. (that will not be within the next few days as this is a very busy weekend coming up)

Not much detail really, apart from what kind of mount we're dealing with - like, is it a horse or a dragon...  |

I once had different breeds of horses with different advantages, and there are times I would still use such. On the other hand, if the player just needs a ride from here to there, and what happens when they get there is what the game is really about, not going into detail may be the right thing to do.

Every game I've come up with I don't use mounts(in fact they do'nt exist in The Stolen World) but I had a paladin PC a little while ago who had a Pegasus named Stomply. Stompy's personality matched his owners race, Half Orc, and he was constantly getting into fights with horses, it was a lot of fun.

I use the following: pack goat, mule, draft horse, riding horse, medium war horse, heavy war horse. The goat and mule are useful for the dungeon. Draft horses pull wagons and carts. You wouldn't want to ride a war horse overland if you didn't have to, and it wouldn't want to carry you, either. They're fairly slow over distance.
I guess I should have a war pony too, but never needed one.
Additionally sometimes I will hand out an exotic mount like a dire bunny that usues the same stats as one of the normal kinds but looks cooler. I think I want to start having pack elephants and war elephants too.
