That drawing is super cute. You know, I personally prefer the side saddle look. It would look really funky for some races though - what of winged races, or races with big horns - would it make sense aerodynamically? To me, I'd see a fae sitting side saddle getting caught and blown off by the wind. As for the traditional stance, that would also look awkward with many of the races in my opinion. I think surfing would be the way to go, with the body turned forward at a certain angle. That would just make sense for all the genders and races, though I don't particularly see any one 'sitting style' as being more gender appropriate. VIVA VARIETY!

I support a flying broomstick over most of the other mounts in this game. I'm a traditionalist. Griffons, Pegasi, carpets, brooms = cool! Some of the other stuff... I'll pass.
