But before you do...
The Talenta Boomerangs are wonderful weapons, especially if you have access to Races of Eberron, where there are a couple of extra combat feats. Lovely, lovely stuff. Also, that gives you an 'in' to Master Thrower.
Also, if you don't want ranger... Google for "wild cohort". The first hit took me to Wizards, where they presented a feat that gives you ranger-mount-lite.
We did a high-level one-shot... my friend ran "Crikey", the pteranodon-riding halfling from Talenta. Rapidshot, palm throw (from Master Thrower), weak spot (or whatever that is)... a feat from Dragon to add dex to damage, and using Brutal Throw. Something like 8 touch attacks a round + effectively Power Attack. Good gracious, that was a sickening guy to watch. And, more importantly, he got real angry if you poked 'im with a stick

I'm not exactly sure if you were talking to me, and if you were referring to a character I'd been planning for a different, 14th-level game (the eldritch knight battlefield teleporter) or to the character for this 4th level game (a changeling ninja-psion). Here's where a bit of the complication comes from. This past weekend I played in one game Friday night, ran my own game Saturday night, rested on Sunday, then played in another game on Monday. (For a synopsis of my Saturday game, read This week in my game – the Dungeon of Avalon, Nazi vampires, and hailing to the king.)
The Friday night game with the teleporter went well. I narrowly survived a full attack by a half-fiend fire giant blackguard thanks to blink. The character's personality is coming out like some sort of Dalelands John Crichton from Farscape.
The Monday night game is more of a traditional dungeon crawler, set in Eberron. The DM allows us to take flaws from Unearthed Arcana (as well as a few house ruled ones). My PC had an intense phobia of aberrations (using Heroes of Horror rules), since in my backstory I'd been a powerful ninja who was mind-wiped by a creature that is WotC intellectual property. We were exploring a sewer in Sharn when teleporting flayer spawn (some sort of new monster) appeared all around us and grappled the faces of all the party except me.
I failed my Will save against the horror and panicked, deciding the fastest way to get rid of the brain-eating monsters would be to hit them all at once. So I manifested energy arc, a psionic power that shoots energy in a cone. It did a pittance of damage, and hit both flayerspawn and PC alike.
That's when I discovered one of the other PCs had taken the flaw that makes him have to chase down and kill anything that hurts him. He pulls the flayerspawn off his face, and crushes it, while I'm cowering from the tiny tentacles. He looks at me with fury (and his player apologizes sheepishly while I and the rest of the table giggle at what we know is going to happen), and then he smashes my head into the wall with his greatclub, dealing 28 points of damage to my 15 hp.
It was a pretty amusing way to die. They tried to give him a fiery funeral, but didn't have enough wood, and ended up just accidentally setting my body on fire so it'd smolder. Horrified, they tried to put me out, and ended up dumping my body into a drainage pipe. Forty feet down I splashed and vanished.
So yeah, I'm looking for something a little more light-hearted. *grin*

Yeeee-HAW!!!!
What about a masked human, a former Sentinel Marshall from House Deneith, injured and left for dead. He is nursed back to health by a Talenta halfling ranger bearing the Mark of Healing. Vowing to stop injustice wherever it rears its ugly head, the human learns to ride a silver-scaled carver and rides forth from the Talenta Plains with his halfling ally, leaving silver-tipped arrowheads with those he helps. He is...
... the Lone Marshall!

Claudio, that is incredibly tempting. If we were higher level so I could get Leadership, I so would.

If you go the ranger route you can say "Ooh, I hates me some (insert favored enemy here)".
