The gait... yeah, but for the hare to be a viable riding creature you'd really have to modify the gait. Wouldn't you? That's why I'd relegate that to flavor text.

Note that I never said flavor text was unimportant. IMO, it's as much fun to read as the template. But we don't need rules to write the flavor text.

If a hare as a mount isn't any different from a horse as a mount, then it's just a boring visual.

I don't know a lot about hares, but the obvious differences might involve the presence or absence of standard GURPS traits, rather than anything exotic.
