Ye Olde Inn

To keep your miniatures that are mounted in place in a way that does not use glue to permanently put them in place might I suggest the product called "Tacky Wax" a Yaley product.
Just a small bead of the wax on the riders butt and set him in place. If you need to have the rider removed from the mount just pull him off. If you want to remove the wax completely for some odd reason, then put the minis together and in the freezer for about 15 minutes than remove the mount and rider then pull the wax off the mini that it sticks to. It will pull off the vast majority of the wax. The remainder can be removed with a bit of hot rubbing alcohol.

I don't know about you folks but I can't count how many times a rider has fallen off a mount or in the case of a glued on mini, the situation arises where the rider is no longer mounted. Well Tacky Wax solves the dilemma in a fabulous fashion.

I'm not really following you here...
Why would you want a mounted miniature off his mount? You can't use a de-mounted mini on the board.
Or if you have an extra miniature to represent the character on foot, why not just have an extra horse to represent the horse without a rider?

The product seems like a very solid solution to your problem though.
I'm a magnet guy myself.

Well I have wolves with Orc riders. Sometimes I might want to use the wolves sans riders...

oh and also for the rare joust situation that may come up in a High Fantasy RPG. If a knight gets dismounted it is kinda fun to remove him from the horse and lay him on the battle mat and have the steed go galloping off. Then we will use a close as possible mini to replace the knight on the ground when he regains his footing.
