Does anyone know of any adventure paths, or something resembling one, where having a mount is encouraged? I am open to third party.
A number of APs might have times when a mount is useful for travel, though not usually for combat as they tend to wind up near caverns and such.
Kingmaker actually is the one I can think of that would benefit greatly from mounts as it speeds up exploration and has occasion combat in open terrain.
In theory a lot of Wrath of the Righteous is doable with Mounts.

Now there is a feat that allows you to ride a mount the same size as you. Large mounts were what made mounted combat more difficult before.

Right, I nearly forgot about that one.
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your feedback. While there may be a number of APs I can take stuff from, I am beginning to feel like what I want will need to be handled by home brew.

wait! You're telling me I can now mechanically make a foppish knight that rides a miniature horse, do you realize how ridiculous my characters are going to get :-)

Is it possible for your characters to get more ridiculous? ;)
It turns out yes, yes they can get even more ridiculous then a Dwarven Oracle, Halfling Rick Steves/Indiana Jones Hybrid (Jade Regent) a Vanara Gunslinger named Ceasar (Animal Farm S&S), and a dwarven witch that only wears Pantaloons has a peg leg and a Platypus for a familiar and says "Arrr, i got me a Platypus in me Pantaloons!" (non animal farm S&S)
:-p

Well, true. I mean, my game has a goblin tinkerer who thinks he's a gnome (and was raised by them), rides in a human-size suit of clockwork mithral full plate mail, and owes dwarves a huge amount of gold for the mithral. (I'm waiting for the next month to go by just so I can have the dwarves pop out of a blue police box and insist on the next payment, even though they'll possibly be off-world by that point.)
It's just I figure CY could run a human fighter and yet make him so eccentric and bizarre that people wouldn't blink twice. Having a mount doesn't change that. (Not to mention that halflings and gnomes can ride dogs, thus allowing a medium-size mount in a dungeon.)
Did JR to completeness with a mount for my oracle

I can confirm that, I am playing WoTR with a mounted paladin. We are finishing book 5 and I had almost no problem fighting atop my mount in books 2,3,4 and 5. In book 1 there would be some serious issues if I had a mount but I didn't.
I have run the entire RotRL and from book 3 and after you shouldn't have any issues with a mounted character.
