First of all:
I know there are multiple threads on this already. However, nobody much looks at old threads and I believe this is a new spin on the old idea.
To obtain a mount:
First create a saddle.
[W] = Grey wool. (Grey wool is harder to obtain, therefore it won't be easy to obtain a saddle)
[S] = String. (Or rope, if that ever comes into play.)
[S ][ ][ ]
[W][W][W]
[W][ ][W]
This is how the saddle would look on the crafting table.
Now, make a sedative arrow. Combine cloth with red mushroom to make a drugged cloth and replace the iron on a normal arrow with this object. You now have a sedative arrow. In the daytime, find a pig or spider. Shoot it with the drugged arrow. It will become sedated temporarily. While the creature is sedated, place the saddle on it with a right click. The animal will now effectively be domesticated.
To ride the animal right click it again, now that the saddle is on. The ride view would be third person. You would move faster, and in the case of the spider, be able to jump much higher and perform a lunge attack with left click. All crafting abilities would be suspended while riding.
The last effect would be that domesticated animals follow you. Therefore, you could lead your animals into a walled off pen and close them in for safe keeping. They may die eventually if not fed, or something of that sort.
Feel free to elaborate on my idea if you like, or just plain insult me, I really don't mind.

YES PLEASE
There should be a leash object as well, right-click on a domesticated animal with it, then right click where you want the animal to be tied. Spiders should attack zombies, and maybe players in MP when you aren't around (if you aren't in a 5 block radius the spider attacks the player, otherwise not). Guard dogs? Who needs guard dogs when you have GUARD SPIDERS?!
I'd like to be able to ride around on a saddle on a Spider, but I don't see it happening in Minecraft. How would the person sit on it if he doesn't have joints?
I like the idea of domesticating them and the way you described, though.
HHMMMMM?! What about riding CREEPERS?! You could shoot them with the arrow and then you could put the saddle on it and it would be your pet. (Don't Worry That Was A Joke) But still, pet creeper for the win. It would explode but not die, but it can explode only 5 times.
Maybe you could make a zombie your pet and it could help you mine and stuff.

Are you shitting me?
How was I supposed to know there was some anime called spider riders? Its just a catcy and attention getting name for the post.
Fine, then some other analogous material that is less easy to obtain.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the title. :3
