1. yes
2. yes, I groom, pet, and even put armor on him
3. almost always
4. I haven't had a good opportunity to try jousting out.
5. besides known bugs, ability to group with other mounted people.

Well... I'm not a Paladin but:
1. do you own a horse? Yes
2. do you interact with your horse? No
3. do you hunt with your horse? No
4. do you joust with your horse? No
5. if could change 1 thing the way horses work, what would that ONE thing be? A point. Maybe if they taught animal lore? They'd still be pointless, but they'd be (slightly) useful.
Dartenian says, "The thing that makes Dragon Dance king is that it pretty much bonuses every single that can possibly be buffed for combat. Including at least two things that don't even exist."

The most obvious thing is that they could carry gear. Pack animals would be useful for this also.
You can travel faster on them in theory, but they have several quirks which make it completely impractical.
As a bonus, I'd suggest horses be able to move in shallow water with no RT.
It's hard for horses to have a real niche when normal travel is so quick and easy...

5. If could change 1 thing the way horses work, what would that ONE thing be? Being able to hold items has always been a suggestion, it would be nice to have my horse hold extra armor sets.

I own a horse. Never take it out of the stable except for a joust. I do joust (seldom).
I would make the attack from a horse be bonused in some manner, which seems to make sense to me.

1)Yes
2)No
3)No- At the time I couldn't get it into the area I was hunting, so pretty much gave up after that.
4)Occasionally
5)I would like a couple of things on this wish list. I would like a bonus to melee combat. I would like someone being able to retreat from me while mounted pretty much impossible. And finally I would like to be able to use the lead ablility on a horse solo. Also if by chance my horse bucks you in the face, it would create a serious stun. :)

That was exactly my thought (I was thinking instant melee), but decided to just leave it as an open statement. I would also add a "no retreat" from the horse unless on a horse as well. That may be OP however.
Anyway, seems to make sense that getting to melee should be fast(er), escaping from a horse should be hard(er) and if you are attacking with leverage from above, you should hit hard(er).

Many things....
I would allow horses to be taken anywhere a player can hunt with exeption to indoor or underground locations. Riding a horse through places like black leucros would give a perception bonus to movement as you can see over grass/ better see the path etc. Riding through water should be possible and horses should swim after their master. Mounted combat should be more robust and should grant a bonus to combat; I don't much need my horse to attack seperately from me, I want it to bonus my ability and position in combat.
Interaction with your horse should teach animal lore.

Re: un-scientific questionar

the first bond level you get with a horse is "signal horse to charge <mob>" and you will be at melee, and your horse will hit once as well. The only thing is, you will be at melee (behind mob) and your horse will STILL be at missle. slight little bug, because the horse hunting range in normal dr doesn't matter. It will attack even when it's not in the asses combat. which will allow you to do the following.
signal horse to charge
retreat
signal horse to charge
smite.
that's 3 attack almost instantly because currently retreating doesn't give RT, and your horse charging also doesn't give RT...
and well, smite is just awesome that anything slightly below your weapon skill will be 1/2/3 shotted in less then a second. for instance, i have 190 in 2he, the above combo will kill haven swampies, and usually my second hit after the smite will kill lang peccs.
anyways, here's to one of your wishes already in the game that you never knew about.
now only if someone knew what the second bond was (was told no one has achieved this yet)
