Hey,
quick and in other words,
- you should put the whole RoR folder in c:\
- and check your directory rights (uncheck all "Read Only" in the whole directory)
- oh and if you move your whole game folder, check if it's still whitelisted (antivir programm)

Move your game directory out of Program Files.
Since Program Files is in C:/ already, should I technically drag the RoR directory out of Program Files directory, then drop it directly into C:/ ? Secondly I successfully unticked the Read Only status for the RoR directory and all subfolders, etc., so gtg there. Third, and exceedingly stupidly, Mcafee LiveSafe (antivir) provides nothing remotely resembling a whitelist for programs/directories/apps... More specifically, there's nothing Server Side 'looking' for RoR to be whitelisted, correct? Lilim is just being fastidious in offering one more thing client side that could bug out the mount, yes?
I'm buggin' about this mount bug because the only way my Significant Other (whom you all know and love/hate to respective personal degrees) was able to fix the mount bug as explained to her (empty RoR's Cache) was to uninstall and redownload/reinstall RoR in its entirety, which is painful to watch and which fixed the bug for her, and not something I enjoy performing and do not relish the idea of for myself. As was mentioned above, I too find nothing of benefit toward a definitive fix for this bug in any of my various and numerous queries here on the forums. That night, some months ago, when she was listening to the advice offered by her RoR family, everything listed by Kaelang and Lilim above was suggested repeatedly. Not to be flippant, because I am a know-nothing in this realm, if the list above, in whole or parts, remedies this uncomfortable to look at visual bug, and which affects every player in RoR, bafflingly to present date, why has it not been officially stickied so players can get back to spurring mounts in their haunches instead of their spines?
Lastly, and from the bottom of my heart, with deep appreciation and utmost sincerity, both for myself and especially so for my significant other whom you all see daily as she stands with you shoulder to shoulder, or against you, toe to toe: Thank you, each and every dev and mod, past and present, for all the personal and voluntary time you invest in our home sweet home away from home, missing out by choice and diligence on time that would be invested in your families and personal aspirations. That alone puts all of you at the top of my "Hero List". The fact that all of you, through purpose and dream alike, wrested the spirit of W.A.R. from the grip of dEAth, that ever present and threatening fiend, whose thirst is not slaked no matter how many careers it has devoured nor studios it has expunged in its ghoulish wake; and raising the resurrected RoR in the center of Our Family, the heart of our Collective Desire to just be back in that place that none of us wished to lose in the first place; that place that never should have been taken from Us in the first place: You (all) are the antithesis of the dEAth Corp. and the epitome of selfless generosity; Gods among gods and gawdz.
May the roads always rise to meet you,
May the winds (of Chaos) be always at your backs...
Huzzah!
WAAAGH!!!
Good Hunting.
