Templar, Defenders of the Faith, requires weapon focus in your deity's favored weapon, endurance, and umm... something else I think, plus 8 ranks in knowledge religion. Damn good class, gets fort and will, fighter BAB, more smites, bonus feats, damage reduction, and a good fightery spell list, and best of all, you can take it at level 6.
Hospitaler, also Defenders of the Faith, requires Mounted Combat, Ride By Attack, and some other riding feat I think. Don't remember what the level restriction is, but it's something around 7 or 8 I believe. Ignore most of what it says in the book, it has been errataed fairly heavily. Adds hospitaler level -2 to your turn undead effective cleric level. Adds to lay on hands, gets two domains and +1 caster level per level. Fighter BAB, bonus feats... all to the good.
Those are the only two WoTC prestige classes that work for paladins. There are other ones paladins can take, but their abilities aren't aimed towards paladins.

You can do a search on this topic. It has come up many, many times. Souljourner's response is the standard answer, however.
Or you can just stay Paladin. Many people feel that Paladin is just like a PRC.
Personally, I'd prefer to stay a Paladin, since your smites increase, your mount increase, your ability with a Holy Avenger increases, your spellcasting increases, etc.. None of the PRCs will increase your mount's survivability, which means that if you multiclass, your mount is going to die.

That's Latin for "cool"
I second the Hospitaler. Very nice PrC.

didn't we just do this?
It'd be a shame to re-hash the same discussion....
There IS no good WotC Paladin PrC, depending on what Paladin abilities you think are crucial.
The Mithral Knight PrC (D20) is the closest.

Unless you have a specific need to take a prestige class, you could also consider taking the class straight through.
