A rideable ground mount would be steve speed and a half (meaning your current speed +half) along with a new sprint speed and a half.
The mount would be a monster/animal you have to catch and tame, and breedable. Once tame (by wearing a saddle) the creature will wander a small set area when not being ridden, when ridden the rider controls its movement. Much like wolves the creature will not respond to others not its owner on SMP, preventing thieves somewhat.
The mount would be neutral in combat, not acting like wolves it will not defend its master but if someone or something hit the mount, the mount will attack what ever hit it, giving it some amount of protection. The mount will not follow anyone and must be ridden to be moved.
Now pick a creature you think would make a good mount, or suggest one! If you dont like my idea on the mounts workings, go ahead and post your idea for one.
This is just sort of a suggestion brainstorm.
If you dont want/like mounts being in the game please explain why you think it would ruin gameplay.
Pigs can already be ridden. I wish wolves could be ridden too though. It'd be awesome but a waste of saddles. We should be able to make saddles out of leather. I wish that would happen.

yes, though I wouldnt call them a mount if you cant control it XD
Well, as long as you can mount on it, its a mount. Just a not very good one. You know mount is also means to go on top of it right? Although wolves that can be controled would be awesome. Plus, the wiki says the mobs not dropping saddles is a glitch so if it gets fixed, its not a waste.
Other than horses, I'd like to see elephants. It would probably knock down trees, but be a bit slower than Steve. It would be good for landscaping or just for fun. They could also pickup and drop water with their trunks and eat grass/leafs to restore health. An odd idea, but I would to see either in vanilla or in a mod. What's everyone else think?

The tree thing might not be that good. I'm not really sure about the water.

I dont think the breaking trees or the such would be good as it could be used as griefing. Being able to carry water would be a neat feature just for fun though, maybe make it like 3-4 buckets so people can use it to make water pools. Or add a storage pack on it to give it storage spaces, so people can take it on long travels for supplies in other biomes.

pigs can be ridden but not controlled
Yea i know. They are supposed to be like that. It makes it a waste of a saddle doesn't it?
