There's also giant rats, which seems to suit goblins.

I do not see why horses, rams, goats or donkeys could not be used....

What style of goblin? A Froud goblin is much different then a standard RPG, LOTR or GW concept.

years ago Ral Partha did a set of dwarfs on charging rams.
I have been looking at deer, cattle and dogs, I might use ponies if I could find some with the saddle on them.
The goblins in question are Sgt Majors, the old Vendel range.

In flintloque, Goblins ride Lizards, or dodos! Depending on when you came into the game and what you prefer (I prefer Lizards myself!).

I saw some Schleich dodos in a toy shop the other day, looked well sized for gobbo mounts.
