There is a book on Mounted Combat specifically which might help. It also offers some alternate rules to make mounted combat better/smoother.
I went and snapped this up (haha) and have to say. I love their idea for the optional, simplified rule for treating a mounted character and mount as a "template" that confers a certain set of bonuses, as well as a specific list of feats which mounts/riders can share.
While this would be too much of a "rules rewrite" at this point, as a simplification of existing rules it's a novel idea.
As a side note, the product appears written by someone with at least some knowledge of horses, which is a plus.

What checks and actions are required to perform a Mounted Charge?What checks and actions are required to perform a nun mounted charge? None. Being mounted doesn't change this.
Firstly, I have no idea why you're going on about mounting nuns.
Secondly, I'd imagine there's at least a couple checks involved in trying it, as well as a possible alignment shift.
Finally, while you may think it's as easy as just ordering the nun to run at somebody, there's an entire mechanical framework involved in the action that you seem to be unaware of. If nothing else, I would imagine that there is at least one hell of a Diplomacy check that needs to take place before that nun moves an inch, followed by a Strength check on the nuns part. Unless it's a particularly beefy nun, but then we're back to trying to figure out how you successfully mounted her in the first place.

Heh. Would be an interesting picture to behold...

I may have to look this up. It's beginning to sound quite useful.
This thread's beginning to sound like a commercial. : /
