...can still cast spells with natural spell, correct?
Just bumping and clarifying the question. If the druid is wild shaped into a mount, and someone is riding them, can they still cast spells?
Yes, AFAIK... I´d just insist you act it out :-)
LOL, of course they can cast spells as a mount...
The question is, would they be a mount? Heh, you'd have to make a pretty good case to ride my druid.

they follow same rules as mounts, and mounts get a swift move and std action, so no reason they can't cast spell and won't be penalised for mounted casting as they've got their feet on the ground.
as far as their druid is concerned the creature mounting him is just a burden on his encumbrance.
the only problem could arise would be from a group who never gets past making "mounted" jokes every single combat

Cool. Never really played a lot with mounts. Thanks

don't forget to give him a lance and kit him out with vital strike feats make the most out of that single standard action
prob worth looking at stuff like spring attack and the like to keep you mobile and able to charge alot

Not sure how the druid could use a lance (he's a horse), but the fighter yes should use a lance. Spring attack for the druid works well though.

yeah was talking about stuff for the fighter cohort ;)
acutally ride by attack for druid and a reach weapon +lunge for the fighter cohort would be pretty sweet combo

Ride by Attack is for riders not for mounts.
If your rider has Lunge and/or a reach weapon the mount will probably never benefit from Spring Attack.
Or you could shapechange your animal companion to a humanoid form, and give it all those same feats. Would make for one crazy upsidedown PC, that's for sure.
** spoiler omitted **
That's what's happening...
LOL
Has he been 'trained' for Riding.
Does the rider need to make Ride checks, and what is the DC for using Animal Handling on a shapechanged Druid to get them to perform tricks?
Save a horse, ride a druid.
