The original question was more about using miniatures and coping with the facing of the rider compared to the horse - and has drifted into general mounted combat rules.
I just had an idea for your figures issue that might work.
How about drilling a few holes in the base, which line up with the different facings and positions possible on both hexes of your mount - Then mark the facing of your rider with a small peg or map pin (or similar) - It wouldn't detract from the look of the model much, and would move along with the figure, rather than being a separate marker.
I may try to do this with one of my mounted figures over the weekend and photograph it to see if its viable.
Like others - I'm guilty of using horses only as a means of getting from one place to another.
