What about a huge mount?Great question.. I always assumed that they're occupying all the squares of their mount when it's a large creature.
When youre a medium size on a huge mount I say you're in whatever space you say you are on the mount cuz it's so big and you're off the ground away from many attacks and making melee attacks yourself.you have to actively move from one space to the next.. it's less that you're mounted and more like you're on a platformWhat about a huge mount?

yeah the offical ruling is a bit rubbishI couldn't find any official rules in the O5E/A5E core, the ones I found are back in the 4e DMG: You are somewhere on your mount, if it is really important where on your mount you are then "you decide")
3.5 is even shorter: "For simplicity, assume that you share your mount’s space during combat." (Which I am sure NOBODY exploited in any way)
I'd think the horse's head and neck would provide you cover, which looks better from a rear square. And it puts a lance's effective range five feet ahead of the horse.I also think that a DM requiring a choice of either of the front two squares for a saddled horse would be appropriate.
