All the talk about mounts being unwieldy in PFS play aside, I want to build a true horse master. A nomadic power house, that rides a stallion clad in steel. Learned to ride a horse before he learned to walk, that kind of stuff.
I have a boon that allows me to treat my mount as one level higher, provided I am human, half orc or Half-elf. This will allow me one level of respite when multiclassing in terms of mount progression.
My ideas so far:
- Cavalier (luring cavalier)
- Bloodrider bloodrager / Mad dog barbarian (for rage/rage powers)
- Hunter/druid(spells/domain/teamwork feats)
- Paladin(saves/lay on hands/mount)
- Divine commander warpriest(fervor)
- Zen archer monk(ranged bonus feat + flurry)
- Samurai(mounted archer)
Feats:
- Boon companion
- Mounted archery
- Monstrous mount
Classes
What do you suggest? I've never played a mounted character before, but have managed to get my large/huge tiger animal companion through "tight spaces" with my lunar oracle through the use of the narrow frame feat. A local paladin rides a mount pretty effectively, but he's small.

I'd Start with a Cavalier, since the class is built around mounts. as for archetypes, I'd look at Emissary form Ultimate Combat, it is built on mobility for the Cavalier and the mount. And from the Inner Sea Combat the archetype Horselord. Note both of these replace most of the party helping abilities.

Do you have a goal other than just dipping into every mount class (not being snide, just asking a legitimate question)? Since you're just throwing stuff together. You may as well take a lvl 1 dip into nature oracle and take the Mount revelation to bump your horse's int up to 6.
Take a look at THIS thread. It's focused around riding a wolf. It doesn't appear to be going the same direction you are, but has a focused goal and ends up with a fully leveled wolf/worg companion. It doesn't work as printed (I'm hoping the ACG errata coming out within a month will fix that since I screwed up and listened to some bad advice and don't technically qualify for Pack Flanking as it's not a combat feat (even though flanking is the sole purpose of the feat and a combat-only thing and its prereq is a combat feat). It at least shows one path of what a mounted build can do other than just grabbing a lance and charging things.

It sounds like with the boon he just want's to dip one level in a additional class.
If you choose to go for the luring cavalier archetype you might what to look into dipping into a level of Gunslinger musket master. as luring cavalier mentions that you make a touch attack at upto 3 times you fist range increment with guns for your first attack. as your horse will give you mobility and with the feat rapid reload you can move and attack in the same turn.

Thanks for the link. I'm focused specifically on horses here, taking it purely from a flavour perspective. Think the guy standing on top of his mount while shooting arrows.
