I haven't looked much into the buggy code (infact I haven't looked at the SDK for a while now ..)
Maybe I'm a little late here, but what I would do is create a horse entity, code and animate the way it walks and runs, etc, then when the player rides the horse, I would simply attach the player to the horse (just like a weapon is attached to the player), so I won't be moving the player, I would simply move the horse and the 'attachment' should take care of moving the player with the horse. Ofcourse I would look at the vehicle/player/weapon code to get some ideas about the details of implementing such a design.
