Smite Evils in a single round with a full iterative attack.The downside about Divine Power is that it can burn up Turning Attempts you might need for Divine Might (and if you are mounted it is less important anyway).For those with a long planning horizon, you might consider getting input from your DM on Fleet of Foot (Complete Warrior) for your mount.  Can you gain its advantages while you are mounted?  You will need to plan out how to get your mount's Dex to 15.</blockquote>
