Question

Are there any animals besides a horse that can be mounted and ridden? If so what are they?

Answer 1

You can ride anything that has the strength and body integrity to hold you up. Training it to let you, however is where the fun starts... ;) I think I've seen photos of people riding just about everything with hair on it, and even feathers...

Answer 2

Elephants

Mules

Ostriches

Donkeys

Camels

There are prolly more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

I hope I helped.

Answer 3

Don't forget reindeer!

We may find that odd in our culture, but in some Arctic cultures, it's very common.  I know someone who was born and raised in Northern Finland.  There were several reindeer farms in her town.  When she moved to the United States, she had a really hard time thinking of reindeer as "wild animals".  

I've also seen petite women ride lions and tigers for circus attractions.  Some people have also ridden zebras, but they are notoriously difficult to gentle and train.

Of course, there are the common mounts:

camels

elephants

donkeys and asses and mules

onagars

llamas

oxen

yaks

novelty mounts:

bulls and steer and cows

ostriches

bison

water buffalo

St. Bernard dogs

giraffes

bears

dolphins and orcas and porpoises (little known fact that orcas, aka killer whales, are actually dolphins)

tortoises

sea turtles

  

Answer 4

Elephatn, donkey, camel, and yes it's true but you can train a cow/bull for riding. There is actually a few places that sell green broke texas long horn cows/bulls.  

Answer 5

Ostrich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Elephants, Ostriches, Camels, Zebra (Stripes), Donky's, Bison, Waterbuffalo, Cattle (theres a guy around here who rides a Brahmn Bull), Llamas, Bears (have seen it..I would not recommend it though!)

Most of these are obviously not meant to be ridden normally, but het..you *could* ride them with trust and training.
