The addition of mounted combat in Skyrim has made me, for the first time in Skyrim or Oblivion, want to buy a mount! The melee combat is very accurate, and not frustrating, while the ranged combat, particularly archery with the slow time perk, is VERY satisfying. The horse sellers all over Skyrim are rejoicing, and will soon be moving into big houses in Solitude lol. Thumbs up Beth

EDIT: I'm on the console version. I hear that the controls on the PC version are much more awkward than on consoles, but the controls on the Xbox are exactly like mounted combat in Red Dead Redemption.
