Such animals as donkeys, camels and horses. I'm sure this word exists in English. I knew it for some time, but it has slipped my mind recently.

An animal, usually a horse, used to ride on, unlike a draught horse

I also see mount can be used as verb. I am wondering which one is correct, mount a motorcycle vs mount on a motorcycle?

"The rider mounted his horse." versus "The rider mounted on his horse."?
